Not all garden sprayers can handle Jomax and/or bleach (Clorox). These pr oducts are too caustic for the innards of non-compatible sprayers. If you r sprayer is not bleach compatible, you need to wash all the parts thorough ly.



I think for most sprayers that can handle bleach products, the labeling, on the box, states it can be used for spraying bleach. I always clean my spr ayer of the Clorox/Jomax residue, even if it is compatible.



While in NC visiting my sister, I Jomaxed/bleached her house..... (Her sprayer wasn't bleach compatible, so I bought one that was.)



.... and weeded flower beds (including digging up small sprouting trees), m owed & weed-eated grass (bought a pedestal grinder & sharpened mowers' blad es). Pruned some trees. Didn't have time to clean her gutters, though.



Built shelves in her 12X16 shed, for storage.... decluttered the shed.



In all, made 2 truck-load trips to the trash/recycle facility.



We saw the total eclipse, also.



Hilton Head was a week of relaxing and lots of eating out. The sign, at t he pond (near the pool), said not to feed the alligators.... $10K fine. I even went out at night to spot-light them.... they ain't no gators in that pond!! I fed the turtles and bream our leftovers. *Someone said the gat ors are in the ponds along the golf course.

Remember, if you start with bleach - keep going till it is done. The sprayer will be rusting out the springs and such - but not instantly. Next day or two it might be gone.

I keep 2 myself. A plastic one for plant killer of some type. The expensive metal and ceramic covered tank is for plant sprays/oils.

I have had to replace the head in the plastic one once already. The metal one is 15 years old and keeps on going.
