clean kentucky 14 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 I was wondering if anyone has tried Pressure Tek's Simple Cherry housewash mix? How have you guys been mixing it for best results downstreaming? Does it really foam like crazy? How well does it mask the bleach smell? I just ordered some today and would like some opinions.

mas3372 14 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 I liked it. Works great and is very easy on windows. I x jet it so I can't help with downstreaming. As for masking bleach, nothing can do it completely. The stuff smells great but once you add bleach, you can smell it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcoronado 19 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Hmmm, I agree. I also ordered some and it smells really good, but once I added the bleach it did not really mask the smell. I am not sure if my mixture was right though, as I have noticed most people using SC are either DS or X Jetting it. How should it be mixed if you are going to apply with chemical sprayer - like a shurflo???? I like the theory of DS but with gas prices what they are, I would rather use a chemical sprayer and cut back on my gas usage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thad 135 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 For some reason it matters whether you add SC to bleach or the other way around. I have noticed that if I add bleach to SC mix then I still smell the bleach (cleans well, though) but if I add SC mixed in water to bleach it neutralizes the smell. Strange but true.

plainpainter 217 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I have only done it the way Thad explains - and while I don't smell an overwhelming cherry smell - I don't really smell the chlorine either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Doherty 126 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 I only use it as a straight mix for the Bandit or 5800, cleans great and is easy to rinse. I never really see it foam up, just light bubbling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deach 14 Report post Posted June 1, 2008 Yep I concur with Thad and Daniel. You have to add the SC and water mix to the bleach or you'll not mask the smell at all. To me it almost totally masks the bleach smell but again as Dan said I don't get the overwhelming smell of cherries either. Stuff works great though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DAVID V 22 Report post Posted June 2, 2008 It works great, but I always get the urge to go buy some cherry pixie sticks after I mix it. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
