What do you spray with before pressure washing? Pure bleach or bleach/soap mix? Is there anything better?

Also, do you put it in the pressure washer reservoir or do you spray with separate tank?

What are you washing? My driveway I use just water. My boat, I wash it like normal but substitute pressure washer for hose.

I have a pressure washer but don't use it for the house everytime. I just spray bleach which does the work all by itself. Once a year I'll pressure wash the house though.

Just use the actual pressure washer water. If you can't reach areas up high on your house, there is a little hose connected to the pump. Put bleach or simple green in a bucket and let the hose suck up the mix

Use jomax and bleach mixed according to label directions, but DO NOT put it in the pressure washer reservoir, it will mess up the pump, put it in a garden sprayer, it is amazing how well it works

3/4 water and 1/4 bleach is what I use. You can buy a case of bleach for what it costs to buy 5 gallons of any commercial cleaner. Works just as well IMO.

Jomax as mentioned mixed with bleach as per the instructions on the back. It's magic.

Also works wonders in your boat bilge.

Bleach ages everything prematurely. I don't use it on anything I own.

I do like Jomax though.
