and from brewing beer

found a pool care forum that advocated bleach, baking soda, and borax (BBB) using liquid bleach instead of other products that can mess up your water. back then extra strength clorox was cheaper than liquid pool chlorine. you can't get the extra strength any longer and they also put other gunk in half their formulas so now, and especially after the pandemic, regular liquid pool chlorine is the cheapest bleach based on % or ppm.

for laundry or cleaning just dilute with water, same as regular bleach.

I'm scared of power washers, hurt myself at a carwash one time, but I bet they are great on sidewalks and getting rid of old paint on wood.
