Bleach/chlorine additive that freshens the smell?

I figured that cost out…she said pressure washers are buying this for neighborhoods that the houses are close together. I’ve only had one neighbor complain about bleach smell but also commented how good the house looked…uh yah…because it works…lol. It might not be a bad idea to have on the trailer but I look at it as more of a luxury. My wife asked if this would make me stand out compared to other pressure washers…good question

You do have to stir it quite often as mentioned earlier. I noticed when I’d come back to the trailer to shut my chemical off that it was like congealed bubbles in the bucket…stir it and it’s ok. I wouldn’t want to put this stuff in a chem tank with how often you have to stir

Mix into a bit of water first, easier to disperse into SH then.

So it’s more effective than Elomonator?

I would say yes…but that’s just my personal opinion. It could be that it was a new smell because I’m used to Elemonator. But the apple smell was very strong. Just not sure if it’s really needed. You can get free samples from them and try it yourself to see

By a long shot. I was using a pretty hot mix Monday, and my wife stopped by the job site to have lunch with me. She’s usually very sensitive to the bleach smell. She said she barely noticed it. And then had asthma attacks all afternoon :grimacing::cry:. So she got more exposure than she realized.

So I guess it’s a two edged sword. Hopefully my wearing a mask while spraying will be enough of a deterrant to most people, so they don’t linger and have the same problem my wife did of over-exposure.

Only one person asked if I was using bleach - and that was before I had really gotten the scent additive mixed in completely. And there must’ve been a hundred + people that walked by while I was working.

Use both.

Yeah, these additives should not be confused with surfactant. They’re in addition to whatever soap you’re using.

“She got more exposure than she thought.” That’s the reason my wife was saying I shouldn’t use it. The smell of SH keeps people away . When I was using the masking agent she said people were taking no notice to what was going on and at some point someone is going to get hurt . I agreed.

Not sure if it’s in this thread or another, but always sample! Many fragrances have one of these two issues:

  1. they are oil based and won’t go into a water solution, so they just sit on the surface
  2. they have surfactants that will make the fragrance go into solution, but those surfactants aren’t SH stable, so it kills the SH.

Asking to clarify - what you are offering is fragrance only. Your solution does not contain any surfactant in it?

Instructions that are emailed with sample requests: We will send no charge samples out ASAP. Please shake the sample before using and mix into your batch ( surfactant, water, bleach). We were suggesting 1/2 oz of Fragrance to 1 gallon of mixture, but customers are telling us ’ our products are more concentrated’. So the best thing is to take a gallon sample of your mixture and slowly add the fragrance and see what works best for you. Please give us your feedback after testing. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Anne,

Do you still have a 10lb order minimum? How much is it now for a minimum order of Apple scent?

I remember the Rain Clean scent was nice when I tried it, as well.

If you haven’t gotten samples from Chemia do so. They have a citrus that is really nice. Horizon has some good scents too. Since I started using Slo Mo I’ve been meaning to check into ordering straight from the scent manufacturers. As of now I’m using the Lemon or Cherry scent from Southside. The pressure washing store local to @Firefighter4hire have Mango and Apple scent but they don’t ship.

Ive gotten great response with the eleminator scent. People refer to it as the smell of clean.

I used to use Elemonator but switched to Slo Mo. The lemon scent from Southside makes it smell just like Elemonator. You can really see just how good Slo Mo is when doing a roof. Plus, it only takes about 10 oz for 65 gallons of mix. I believe you have to use about a half gallon of Cling On and it doesn’t stick near as good. The only downfall is having to add your own scent. At least there are options out there. @Firefighter4hire talked me into trying Slo Mo and I’m glad I did.
