Here are the ratios to clean with sodium hypochlorite. This is the main ingredient we use to clean houses and buildings. I break what mixture we need to use with for each surface that needs cleaning.

The 5 % would be the sh per the content of the the container so 1/20 ....also it is possible to remove oxidation and cause " striping if you use too much pressure chem may remove it and cause run lines so you chem bottom up and rinse top down

Divide, the percentage you want by the percentage strength of the bleach. Remember chemical injectors inject at a 4:1 ratio. So if you fill your tank all the way with 10 percent chlorine from home Depot and you use a chemical injector you will have 2 percent strength bleach coming out of the pressure washer. If you want it to be stronger, you need to use a softwash system.

[@scotts1356]

I'm brand new to ALL of this, so please bear with me. I "assume" your pre treating the surfaces with the SH and that's the percentages you're giving. So, are you using a different hose to put the SH on and how do you know how to figure out the percentages? Example: If you do a roof at 6%, do you fill a "jug" with water and then calculate how much of the SH to add to the water, to get the 6%? Thanks in advance.

[@kgoutdoorsolutions430]

Down streaming comes out at a 5:1 ratio I’ve been told. So 12.5 in a bucket being pulled by your injector is really 2%. Might be ok for a driveway but that’s why people use pumps and soft wash systems rather than injectors when doing house washes or roofs. But I’m new to this also I just purchased a battery powered back pack sprayer that I’ll mix my bleach with water prior to get my result so if I wanted 6% I’ll mix 2.5gallons of sh and 2.5 gallons of water since I have 12.5.
