I've picked up a job to clean a customers external walls for a decent price. I've been told that sodium hypochlorite is the thing to use. Unsure of how much to use, mix it with water and how to apply. I'm guessing it's pretty potent too!
Does anyone have any experience in using it?
Cheers. :)

Sorry, no experience myself, but there have been a couple of interesting topics recently relating to it.

When i said no experience, I meant with hypo.
The Kings comment above is exactly why I have not tried it. ( not questioning it just the h&s of it where I work would be a concern as I could not guarantee the safety of pets, cats etc. )
I have though, used a general outdoor cleaner diluted in my backpack to wash down a customers walls prior to estate agent viewings with sufficient success ( painted walls with algae stains ). I used swarfega outside general cleaner from toolstation ( about a tenner for 5 liters ) and after applying and scrubbing just rinsed with clean water ( even outside tap ) after 10 mins - numark fan jets are good for this.

Sodium Percarbonate is a lot safer to use. Plants and pets will be fine and so will your throat

That is exactly why it's called YEHAA! because of cowboys using it like that. Spraying 10% red label hypo will kill everying in it's paths for sure including pets if ingested (trying to clean their painful paws).
Spraying neat 14-15% yehaa will make a quicker job of it too....YEHAA! ;D
