Now, let's delve into the key takeaways from Cody's insightful discussion on using bleach for property cleaning.
Bleach serves as the industry standard for removing organic growth, including mold, mildew, bacteria, and algae, from various surfaces. By effectively sanitizing and breaking down organic materials, bleach enables efficient cleaning without the need for high-pressure washing.
Safety is paramount when using bleach, especially concerning its impact on vegetation. While bleach is diluted for use on surfaces, it can still harm plants and grass if not properly managed. Cody emphasizes the importance of minimizing overspray and runoff to prevent damage to surrounding vegetation.
Determining the appropriate bleach percentage for different surfaces is crucial. While house washing typically requires a lower percentage (around 1-2%), more stubborn surfaces like roofs may necessitate higher concentrations (5-6%). Dilution calculations can be simplified using tools like Qu Q's mixing calculator, ensuring accurate measurements for optimal cleaning results.
Finding high-quality bleach is essential for effective cleaning operations. While household bleach may suffice for minor tasks, industry-standard bleach (12.5% sodium hypochlorite) offers superior strength and cost-effectiveness. Local pool supply stores or industrial chemical vendors are excellent sources for obtaining professional-grade bleach.
In conclusion, mastering the use of bleach is essential for any pressure washing business. By understanding its role, adhering to safety protocols, and sourcing high-quality products, you can elevate your property cleaning endeavors to new heights of success.
