Hey there, fellow pressure washing enthusiasts! Welcome back to the channel. I'm Aaron Parker, and today, we're diving into the world of batch mixing ratios, a crucial skill for anyone in the pressure washing or soft washing business. Stick around till the end for a special surprise and some helpful resources!
Understanding Batch Mixing
Batch mixing is essential for properly preparing your cleaning solutions. Whether you're tackling roofs, concrete, or vinyl, knowing how to mix your chemicals correctly ensures effective and safe cleaning. Here’s a straightforward guide to get you started.
Basics of Batch Mixing
-
Starting with Industrial-Grade Bleach
- For professional results, use 12.5% industrial-grade bleach. Avoid household bleaches, which are usually around 6%.
-
Mixing Ratios
-
6% Mix for Roof Cleaning:
- Fill a 10-gallon jug halfway with 12% bleach and the other half with water. This gives you a 6% mix.
-
3% Mix for Bricks and Mossy Surfaces:
- Divide the 10-gallon jug into four parts, with one part bleach and three parts water.
-
1% Mix for Vinyl:
- Achieving a 1% mix is trickier. Divide your solution into 12 parts, with one part bleach and 11 parts water.
-
Using a Downstream Injector
- For very diluted mixes, such as 1%, a downstream injector can simplify the process. It automatically mixes the solution to the desired concentration.
