    Default Liquid detergent mix

    Has anyone else used any of the liquid laundry detergents with the 12% instead of Dawn?

    What were they and what was the results?

    I use the Dawn also, but I was just looking to see if there was a better way. If something works better. If the only reason Dawn is used is because it works, but is cheaper. My goal is to study to find out if there is something that works better. If there is I will use it and just charge it into the rpice. It will not be off of my nose and the homeowner will get even a better cleaning or maybe a faster one?

    Simple Cherry is the best I have found for a cleaner, faster rinse. It always gives me good results. And the cost really isn't as bad as one would think.

    Simple cherry is the best Ive used for rinsing. It doesnt cling as well as I would like, but is definately a superior product to store bought soap.

    Thanks everyone for their help. I placed this in the Pressure washing institute and the roof cleaning forum for optimized results. What mixing ratio would there be using the simple cherry per chlorine ratio? I would not want the simple cherry aroma to be masked by the strong chlorine to a point where there was no cherry smell.

    Your first priority should be if the mix is strong enough to do its job and not if it covers up the smell of your simple cherry. Do you want a clean roof/house or a good smelling house.

    The other thing about SC is it does not mask the smell very well. But like florin said, whats the priority?

    True on both accounts. I used SC once and the cherry smell was not that noticeable. I however do not have that great of a snout anymore due to much inhaling of oil, laquers and epoxy over the years. I guess that warning on the can to wear a breathing apparatus was for real?
