You house off a house with a garden house?

Re: Bleach And Jomax


jomax is NOT a beverage!!lol

ive got a paint a paint additive if you want to buy some! it activates paint and magnifies the paints strength but at low concentrations, and all you have to do is add paint, so it doesnt really do anything at all! just kiddin, i just researched that product and it seems like just another one of those gimmicky gallons of magic to stock on the shelf for HO's!

what is a painting/pressure contractor doing with a pump sprayer?

go to p.t state forums and research what the pros use!
www.pressuretek.com and youll see the pt state forum logo on the right!

Works great
Especially for that Jomax/Bleach mix

I use it too, but it's pretty heinous on the lungs, I only use it where there's mucho mold

PWer would be better for rinsing though, Robert S
Garden hose takes too much time and leaves too much behind
PWer is much quicker and more efficient

Re: Bleach And Jomax


There are better and much cheaper housewash mixes on the market. We use Simple Cherry from PressureTek for our housewashes. For paint prep a lot of contractors use bleach, tsp, and Dawn and rinse well.

Yes - definitely go talk to Bob at pressuretek. Using his products separates you from your competition.

sounds good but i would use a pressure washer, instead of the garden hose.

Yes, the house can wash a house with another house, I think it takes too long, so we power wash the house instead.

I used Jomax (per directions) once and I was not impressed a bit. Only magic I saw was my money disappeared

Re: Bleach And Jomax


I have liked JoMax so far, compared to what I used to use for mildew, a straight bleach/water mix.
