  1. THANKS! What do pros use to keep bleach mist out of their eyes and lungs? Nothing? Keep your distance? Thanks.
  2. Right, I know that. I am talking about the 0 tip that Bob from Pressure Tek sells. I read about it in another thread, here: http://www.thegrimescene.com/forums/residential-pressure-washing/17596-switching-x-jet-m5-downstreaming.html Maybe that will not work with my machine/setup? Is the way you mentioned below the best/most affordable way for me to be able to shoot cleaner/bleach farther? Thanks, everyone, for all of the help. I appreciate it. Fred
  3. So, I can just use what I have and go with the ZERO degree tip for applying cleaner and use a bleach mix? Get rid of the ladder by shooting the cleaner farther with the ZERO degree tip. Let the bleach mixture do the work. Then rinse? If so, how do I protect my eyes and lungs from the bleach mist? Thanks, pros!!! Fred EDIT: Changed 40 degree to 0 degree
  4. I am an avid DIYer. It's in my bones. I would rather learn how to do things like the pros do it, than pay the pros to do it. I enjoy it. It is fun. I like to learn.
  5. THANKS! A few more question in response to yours? 1. What is an affordable down streaming system that will work with my pressure washer? 2. What about the dangers of the bleach mist? What do you wear to protect your eyes and lungs? 3. I read something on the forum about a 40 degree low pressure tip that will spray cleaner 30 feet or so. Will that work with my pressure washer? Your thoughts on the 40? THANKS!!! Fred
  6. DIYer here: Here is what I do to clean my vinyl siding once or twice a year. Medium-sized two story house. Craftsman 2700 PSI, 2.3 GPM pressure washer with 50' of hose. I use Krud Kutter or ZEP all-around cleaner that feeds into the pressure washer. I spin the nozzle to change the tip/flow/pressure. It has five settings, including one that is for the soap. I use a ladder for the high stuff. If there is a tough spot, I use a scrub brush on a pole. I keep the wand pretty far away from the siding when I rinse, so I don't do any damage. So here is the deal. It takes all day to do the house. How can I speed things up? Also, the white metal soffit and fascia does not come very clean. I use the same cleaner and amount of pressure on it. How can I better clean the soffit and fascia? What do you pros think? How can I do a better/faster job on my house? Thanks for any help, Fred
