Your Jobs Are Only as Good as Your Chemicals: Here Are the Ones That Stand Out

If your busy season has you running from job to job, you already know this: the equipment you use matters, but the chemicals you pair with it determine the results. Whether you’re working on residential siding, fleet vehicles, concrete, or stubborn “mystery stains,” using the right formulas can be the difference between a fast, impressive result… or fighting the same problem twice.

At PowerWash.com, we stock a full lineup of pro-grade cleaning chemicals designed to help contractors work smarter, clean faster, and deliver consistent results that customers notice. Today, let’s dive into a few standout chemicals, starting with one that contractors swear by.

Fresh Wash: The Boost That Makes Every House Wash Better

When you’re downstreaming or soft washing, Fresh Wash is one of those products that quietly (but dramatically) improves the quality of your results. **Fresh Wash is NOT a chemical; it is a scented soap added to bleach.**

Adds a pleasant lemon scent
Reduces bleach smell for customer comfort
Enhances surfactant cling so your mix hangs on the surface longer
Improves cleaning efficiency, especially on organic grime (algae, mildew, etc.)

Fresh Wash is one of the easiest upgrades you can make to your house washing setup. A little goes a long way, and the difference is noticeable on both vinyl and painted surfaces.

Specialty Cleaners That Make Tough Jobs Easier

Not every job calls for heavy hitters, but when they do, having the right chemical in your kit saves time, labor, and callbacks. Here are a few customer-favorite formulas that belong in any contractor’s arsenal:

Citrus Cleaners & Degreasers

Perfect for fleet washing, dumpster pads, commercial concrete, and equipment cleaning. These cut through grease quickly without harsh fumes.

Rust & Stain Removers

If you’re constantly dealing with irrigation stains, battery rust, orange streaks, or metal bleed, a dedicated rust remover cuts your work in half. No more scrubbing or pressure-overcompensation that risks damage.

Vehicle & Fleet Wash Solutions

For mobile fleet washers or shops offering wash-bay services, pH-balanced vehicle soaps help you work faster while protecting paint and metals from over-aggressive detergents.
