Soft washing information?

[Clear View]

-I currently own my own window cleaning business along with doing a great deal of pressure washing. I am familiar with some chem apps. I usually use 2qt. outdoor Clorox and 1qt. jomax mixed with 4 gallons of water in a back pack to spray the house first then lightly rinse with a 3000 psi pressure washer. This has done a great job.
-The problem is even on a 12 ft. A-Frame ladder with the sprayer i cant reach some peaks of the houses i am doing.
-I purchased an x-jet m5 that i have not used yet, any feed back on this product? Ive seen on you tube guys using a gun with 4 nozzles but no wand, what is this called and where can i purchase this and how is the chemical distributed.
-Also i hear a lot about 12.5 bleach, where can i get this am i wasting my money by buying it @ home depot, is there something i can mix with it other than jomax which is $20.00 per gallon?
-Last question, once i have the proper chemical and set up what is the proper mixture? Some one suggested straight bleach and simple green in a 5 gallon bucket to distribute straight through the x-jet? I don't want to kill any landscaping?

The Xjet is a great tool I use mine almost exclusively, A good mix ratio would be 2 - 2.5 gallons 12.5, and the rest water and soap, in a 5 gallon container.

Jomax is crap to be honest stop using it, Im glad to hear you are kind of in the right direction, as far as low pressure is concerned, But with the xjet you will be able to throw away the ladders, and finish is more than half the time.

As far as killing the landscaping, before apply any detergents in a specific area, pre wet all the vegetation, and then apply your detergents on the house, I work side per side, so while im waiting for my dwell time, I keep rinsing the grass and plants again, and re apply detergents where necessary.

as far as finding 12.5 Look in your area, for a Univar, harcros, ext.

When in a pinch look for Liquid Shock at its carried at most pool supply stores, and make sure it is SH on the label, those are 10% and not 6% like store bought, also with shelf life the store bought is more like 3% when you start using it.

Good luck, keep researching, your almost their, And put that Xjet to WORK
