A concentrated cleaning composition for cleaning outdoor vinyl surfaces. The concentrated cleaning solution includes an aqueous chlorinated bleach solution, a surfactant, a phosphate and a silicate. The concentrated cleaning solution is diluted with water to form a diluted composition which is applied to the surfaces to be cleaned to effect loosening of soil. Thereafter, the loosened soil is removed by the mechanical action of a water spray.

Method for cleaning outdoor surface such as vinyl siding

A double barrel sprayer for applying a diluted product such as a diluted cleaning solution to a surface for cleaning thereof and rinsing the diluted product from the surface by spraying a water-only rinse onto the surface. The sprayer can include a force-fitted orifice plate with a plurality of holes for adjusting the water/product mixing ratio. To provide different spray patterns for the water-rinse or diluted product, the sprayer can include a shroud having suitably shaped exit holes. The sprayer includes separate flow paths for the water-only rinse and the diluted product. The flow path for the diluted product includes a mixing chamber in which concentrated product is siphoned from a container and mixed with water supplied by a garden hose. Prior to mixing with the water, the concentrated product passes through an orifice plate having a plurality of holes to provide a substantially constant water/product ratio over a wide range of water pressures. The sprayer includes a removable cover which includes a pair of outlets suitably sized and shaped to obtain desirable spray patterns for the water-only rinse and the diluted product sprayed from the sprayer. A rotatable valve allows selective application of water or diluted product.

Double barrel sprayer for selective spraying of water or diluted product

A concentrated cleaning composition for cleaning outdoor painted/stained surfaces. The concentrated cleaning solution includes an aqueous chlorinated bleach solution, a surfactant, a phosphate and a silicate. The concentrated cleaning solution is diluted with water to form a diluted composition which is applied to the surfaces to be cleaned to effect loosening of soil. Thereafter, the loosened soil is removed by the mechanical action of a water spray.
