Home made mold armor?

Bleach does that. You can see the mold just fall off. It might actually bleach things though, lol, which doesn't mean that much to me since I like a light yellow house.
So, I do dilute it some for siding. But, I've used it full strength on a particularly moldy deck (in shade all the time).

My father used to use a concoction of bleach, Tri sodium phosphate (TSP) and tide detergent mixed with water in a 5 gallon bucket. I don't know the exact measurements though. Knowing his way of if a little is good than a lot is better it was probably a gallon of bleach, a box of TSP and a large container of tide dumped into the 5 gallon bucket and topped off with water.

I sprayed the bleach with a pump sprayer. Not that I'm bragging or anything...far from it. I'm not sure it did the screws any good.

Usually use about a 20% bleach solution with TSP, seems to work well for us.

For extreme situations, (or if you have a pool) you can use pool shock. This works great on siding and decks. Just don't over-do it.

a 6 pack of bleach at the wholesale club is pretty cheap! Small amounts of other ingredients can't be too costly, I need about 10 gallons of this stuff.

Good to hear, how much tsp per gallon?

Think I usually toss about a cup per a gallon or somewhere around there in. I probably do it different every time, it's been a while, but I'm sure I read the directions then went the "more is better" route and did another 50% over whatever it said. Not that more really is better, sometimes, other times you're just wasting product or killing surrounding vegetation.

Of course, with all the above, EYE PROTECTION.
