Definition

What it means

A sodium hypochlorite mix is the diluted blend of pool-strength bleach (typically 10-12.5 percent), water, and a surfactant that pressure-washing contractors batch for cleaning organic growth from exterior surfaces. Ratios vary by target: around 1-2 percent active strength for vinyl siding and concrete, stronger for roof algae. The batch is applied at low pressure and rinsed thoroughly, with plants pre-wetted and tarped because overspray browns foliage on contact.
