Looking for some info from fellow Australians if l can.
Where in Australia preferably Victoria are you guys buying your chemicals from?..
Looking for the likes of Fresh Wash, Roof Snot and similar products but yet to come across them.
Any advice would be much appreciated
Sorry, I can’t help you since I have no idea what is available in Australia.
Are there a lot of powerwashers there?
G’day
I’ve been in this business for 12 years and have never found specialist house washing chemicals in Australia (that’s not to say they aren’t out there) - so I read all the data sheets & MSDS’s…
For house washing you need a detergent that will work with SodiumHypoChlorite, have some dirt/oil lifting ability plus foam a bit for cling - I use commercial dishwasher powder (http://www.septone.com.au/detail.asp?item_cat=19&item_number=518&page_num=1) about 1/2 cup to 20 litres of water to 20 litres of SHC and dilute about 1:5 plus some general detergent for extra foam/cling (http://www.septone.com.au/detail.asp?item_cat=21&item_number=560&page_num=1) about 100 ml to 100 litres of mix.
The dishwasher powder is very similar to laundry powder & the old painters favourite “sugar soap”.
If I need something stronger I use concrete cleaner/degreaser (http://www.septone.com.au/detail.asp?item_cat=14&item_number=412&page_num=1), and for the ultimate cleaning of fats/oil/greases & organic matter you need Potassium Hydroxide which I get in a commercial dishwashing machine liquid (http://www.septone.com.au/detail.asp?item_cat=19&item_number=641&page_num=1).
Your local commercial cleaning supplier will have these type of products but probably have no idea about what you want to do with them. Check out the MSDS’s and cross check with what is available locally.
Send me a pm/email if you have any other questions.

There is quite a few Thad but l don’t think they are as prevalent as the are in America.
As far as lm aware we don’t have a forum like this that is predominantly Aussies.
I think it would be great if we did…I find it too time consuming converting gallons to litres and so forth from the information and knowledge that l pick up from here haha
If there are enough users we can create an “Aussie Forum”.
Okay… but can we please make it smaller and less important than the “Kiwi Forum”
