hi,

im going to do house cleans from gutters down,ive looked around and most use a mix of bleach and cold water through a jet washer,i can get a 15% bleach but dont know the correct ratio water/bleach,i do not want to kill pants etc,so QUESTION is: what ratio do you use,also what kind of priice should i be paying for the bleach per ltr

Thank you i advance...."A KLEAN"

 
We get hypo from a farm supply shop it's about £ 15 for 25 ltr, depending what you are doing dilute it 1 part hypo to 4 parts water , I wouldn't put it through a pressure washer though as it will wreak the pump , if you have a back pack sprayer use that with a spray nozzle or put it through your water fed pole to apply to building . After use flush everything through thoroughly it can damage the pump but back packs arnt expensive my currant one is about 3 years old and still ok and I use a lot of hypo .

thank you,ive been told 3 or 4 to 1(15% )and put mixed solution into bucket he run through the soap inlet,so it then mixes again with the water going into pump,then spray onto building,leave 10-15 mins wash off,

 
I wouldn't want to put it through the pump on a pressure washer let it dwell on the walls for up to about 45 to 60 mins , sometimes you will need to apply several coats and may need to scrub certain stains then rinse off

what your saying will be fine on the pump as the soap inlet sucks from after the pump so they hypo doesn't go though pump- but I've found the hypo gets so diluted by the flow of water- hard to get a good mix
