Is there a product that instantly removes mildew off of houses other than bleach/Jomax. Here lately I have been cleaning houses with bleach/Jomax and my XJet. Yesterday, I cleaned a house and the wind picked up and took my mix and "tossed" it in the air. You could smell it on the other side of the house. It also affected some of the flowers. I keep things watered down as much as possible but it is time/labor intense. I've tried other products such as All-Brite, SimpleGreen, HomeDepot - House cleaner, PowerHouse, etc.. But the only thing that seems to work (atleast for areas needing to be reached with the XJet) is blasting it with bleach. Everything else needs to sit and dwell and then still needs t obe hit with some pressure. Bleach kills the mildew on contact but gets in the air and affects plant life. Is there anything as effective as bleach and are there techniques I should be using that I'm not doing? Such as watering down plants. Is it a two person job? One cleaning and the other constantly watering down plants? Also, is tarping a good idea even in the hot summer months? Thanks, Derek

Mike, I'm the original poster of this thread. Can you tell me, in more detail, what your referring to with down streamin? All I know to do with down streaming is to use a variable wand and apply chemicals at low pressure. Then after a little dwell time turn the wands handle and rinse with high pressure. How far do the black chemical nozzles reach? Is there a trick to getting the same results w/o the x-jet? Thanks, Derek

Does anyone know how to get rid of dirt dobber stains that are 20plus ft in the air on a side of a house composed of EIFS? Knocking them down is easy w/ X-Jet or red tip from a distance but can't get rid of the stain. Any suggestions? Thanks, Derek Caldwell

Can anyone tell me how to interpret the nozzle chart that is in the provided image? And once I understand the chart is it correct that I divide by 2 for my surface cleaner? Thank you, Derek Caldwell
