What chemicals should I buy. I don't have enough business right now to justify buying a lot of different chemicals in bulk. What are some suggestions of what I should buy? Can I get 1 gallon containers somewhere or multi purpose. Help please.
 
For houses, drives, decks. Most places I have checked sell the different chemicals in 5 gallons or more. Is there somewhere I can get smaller quantities. I am guessing that most of you guys buy in bulk since you probably have the business to justify buying that much. Hopefully I will be able to buy bulk later on and not have it setting around for a long time. I have use some chemicals that were in 1 gallon from a local place they just didn't seem to work very well. I guess to sum it up I am looking for distributers that have chemicals that work great and sell them in smaller quantities that won't break me until I get the work to use more. Hope that is more clear. Thanks

Russ Johnson sells Roof Snot by the gallon. Stretches pretty far as a house wash at 3 oz per 5 gallon bucket.

F-9 BARC in one gal. from Craig Harrison for rust removal, Roof Snot comes in one gal. and you can use it in your house wash mix too, F-13 for gutters comes in one gal. and not sure about EBC (Enviro Bio Cleaner). Outside of getting your SH those restoration and cleaning agents are all you need for now.

what size machine do you have? some other guys have said The dollar store sells "L.a awesome" you could use that for gutters. If you have never used it before, keep an eye on it when you use it. learn how to use it without stripping anything. ( as you should do with ANYTHING you use for the first time ).

What is the size of your machine. I started out strictly KEC and slowly branched out. I was doing single story homes with my Northstar 2.5 gpm. It did the job on homes considering my volume was so low. It took me 4 ever to rinse. I got a nice account with a town house community, and I just worked long hours and used long extension poles to reach the high spots. I just bought my first surface cleaner. I still work out of my van, I don't have a water tank so I have to stay away from the bigger jobs without a water supply but that's OK. all in time. Stay here and do a lot of reading, trust me it will help you. Offer your tips and ask questions, subscribe to youtube videos. Learn learn learn. Don't get offended if you stick your foot in your mouth and are corrected by senior members.

I have a 2.3gpm 2700psi. It works good I have done a couple of driveways with it and of course cleaned everything around my house that I could. Just from reading I would be better off with more GPM but I will have to wait and upgrade in the future.
