Actually, the ideal to use Arm & Hammer detergent came from this very forum, and the number of happy users of it steered me in that direction. The X-JET instructions say to use Dawn, which, to my understanding isn’t safe to mix with bleach, so I didn’t do that. I’m not making this stuff up.

> Hey guys, I’m researching what to use in place of Elemonator for a vinyl house wash. I’ve got a couple jobs scheduled tomorrow and unfortunately didn’t get my order in on time. Have you used anything succesfully in place of the pressuretek chems? Seems that some have used Gain in a roof mix, but I’m unsure if it’s safe for vinyl. Thank you for any input

I’ve been researching this forum and the rest of the internet for a solid 2 months now. I didn’t read one post and go out and do this.

I’m obviously posting here because I’m looking for information I couldn’t find, and want to learn… But telling me I’m so wrong I should just give up and GTFO isn’t helpful. In fact, you still haven’t offered me (or anyone else reading this thread) any advice.

You don’t get to say “That’s not how this works” without saying how it is supposed to work or telling me what I’m doing wrong.
