  3. There is a local manf. that makes a butyl basd detergent. I am thinking of mixing this with clorox outdoor bleach ( Rod's suggestion). The manf said his soap has teh buffers and oxidezers that will not cause a bad reaction when mixed w/ bleach. What should I look for on his msds to verify this can be used in conjunction w/ bleach. What does ph stand for. I know if it measures acidity. Lastly, what other suggestions do you have for this standard house wash. Maybe a little dish detergent for suds or what? thanks
