What's the cheapest way to Softwash chemical wise?

I would say the cheapest way is to use just enough and not too much. There is no magic chemical that has gone undiscovered by everyone on this board that will save you money or for that matter work any better.

Search for the best most efficient way. The cheapest way would be go to Dollar General. That would cost you time and energy on the job trying to produce professional results

Personally, I'd prefer 'more profitable' over cheap.  Speed and efficiency is where one reaps the biggest financial gain once the job is sold.  And that speed and efficiency comes with knowledge and expertise.  The latter comes with time and lots of self study and research.

Anyone know about the SoftWash Systems Green Wash.  They say you can use a lot less SH Example:

100 gal tank would take

20 gal SH / 80 gal H2O / 64 oz Green wash / 100 oz Calcium Hpoclorite

Has anyone tried this ?  They say it helps reduce plan kill.

Calcium Hypochlorite can leave an awful hard to remove white scale over everything.

Just forget about Calcium Hypochlorite.
