I did my first house today. I have a couple of questions I hope to get some help on. Thw house came out great and the customer was very happy (Mom)
I used an X-jet to wash with a chemical mix of 2 gal 12% 2 gal soap/degreaser a few squirts of Dawn soap. The house is a ranch 80'x25' I ended up using a total of 5 gal of bleach and 5gal of soap. That seems like a lot to me. I may have been to generous lathering up the house.
Another question is the shutters seemed to have faded some. They are brown plastic. Could that be from the bleach mixture? I am not sure if they were faded before I started and they were just more noticable because the house was sparkling.
Any help you coul give me I would greatly appreciate. If someone has a better recipe for house wash I would love to try it.
I am new to the business and I would be very interested in a demo. However it would be a road trip for me. I am from MA but I would consider it if the timing was right.
I would be interested in decks, house washing, etc.
