U Do Soft Wash?

Check out pool suppliers. They might call it liquid pool shock. Worst case, you can buy the concentrated bleach at the dollar store, or 10% pool shock from walmart.

How much are you wanting to buy? If you dont want to buy it in bulk just get the stuff i linked to earlier.

Arenā€™t you in Tennessee? How far away from Memphis are you? Brenntag sells hypochlorite, and they will deliver an hour away, maybe more. Roughly $250 for 55 gallons after taxes, delivery fee and one time $50 barrel deposit.

Any major retailer will sell bleach. Wal-Mart, publix, lowes, home depot, dollar tree. Is there a pinch a penny in your area? You can get 12.5% there.

Id rather be buying 5 gallons Sodium Hypochlorite of it and be doneā€¦ easier to mix up
cant u buy it like I did the 5 gallons of Eliminator

Yeah, you can go to Walmart with $15 and walk out with 5 gallons of 10% sodium hypochlorite. Thatā€™s why three people have suggested it already, and why I provided a link to it.

You are going to have to be a little more clear. By the time the internet waves reach him some things get lost in translation.

@Fatdaddy you canā€™t pay me to go to the place where dreams go to die. Wal-Meth is on my once a year list. Iā€™ll go once a year if and only if I absolutely have no other choice.

Hint: thereā€™s always another choice.

Do you have menards around you?

no but a target tractor supply guyā€¦not got what wal meths haveā€¦
just donā€™t like what i see there just donā€™t go there eitherā€¦

Iā€™m pretty confused because Iā€™ve seen Fatdaddy in many different posts and I feel like all everyone really talks about is Soft washing or flat work. I thought it was pretty much understood that nobody blasts houses with high pressure anymore. How can this type of info go unseen or not understood for so long? Lmao

Itā€™s not gone on unseen. Most know heā€™s a little out there. Heā€™s a nice guy, you just donā€™t want him to wash your house lol

Eh, at least he is learning. Better late than never.

FatD you understand that Clorox bleach is sodium hypochlorite, right? Go to whatever fancy store you prefer and get 5 gallons of bleach off the shelf. Look on the label and make sure it says 8.25%, which is about the strongest you can get in the laundry aisle. Mix it half and half with water in a 5 gallon bucket, and 4-5 oz ā€˜eliminatorā€™. Mission accomplished.

I respect the patience and optimism. Still leaves me baffled.

Oh, im right there with you. When i read his post saying that he hasnā€™t been downstreaming, i was like :face_with_raised_eyebrow: .

guys i do mainly pools patios drive ways, business? concrete.
i do a few houses but have always done with pressure like i started.
im going to downstream try it out thats why i started all this on soft washing to learn about it.
and thanks for the info i will get around to it, i do have all the above and the house Friday i may get some bleach and try it
got my new long range nozzle today.

Makes a little more sense. Try pretreating the concrete youā€™re washing with SH too before surface cleaning. Will help a lot

i have been doing thatā€¦

When he said SH he was referring to sodium hypochlorite. Iā€™m assuming you thought he was referring to sodium hydroxide?

Youā€™re bound to have a Dollar General near you. Get their house brand concentrated, itā€™s 8.25% and $2.95/gal. Works great, you just may need to use more of it, say 3 gals in a fiverr vs. 2.
