I have been using Simple Cherry in my mix since I started. I remember a few folks trying out Elemonator when it came out and liking it. I like that it is a liquid. I run cold water only and sometimes I have issues getting all of the SC to dissolve. I am about out of SC and was going to see what the current choice was among the pros before I ordered anything.
I’ve tried Fresh wash Lemon, eLemonator and Cherry bomb with roof snot as the surfactant and if they are mixed properly as stated on the directions they all work great.
I think I like the Cherry bomb the best for scent but my customers seem to prefer a lemon scent so I may order the Lemon-Aid from Russ next. The eLemonator seems to mask slightly better than the fresh wash does and seems to be able to “eliminate” the chlorine smell leaving a slight lemon scent after, it wasn’t over powering so that’s nice. I found that the Cherry B and Elemonator both rinse really easy leaving the windows nice and clean where the Roof snot and Cherry bomb took a bit more time to rinse the suds away.
Elemonator or ammonyx lo/ lauramine oxide…same thing from what I understand just no scent. I wouldn’t use simple cherry bc it is not bleach stable as in it will kill your mix. A pretty smell is not worth product down the drain.
Simple Cherry was a staple among most people who dealt with Bob before ELEM. came out. I used it exclusively and never had an issue with it hurting the strength of my mix.
Elemonator all the way. I started mixing in roof snot for added suds and cling(on house washes ). Also started adding rinsing agent, to help with windows. But I’ll never give up the Elemonator, it’s simply awesome! It enhances SH power and smells good too.
Not sure where that’s coming from Lee, we used Simple Cherry for 5 years and it never killed our mix. Once we had a batch that was like 3 days old and was still good to go.
My mix since I started has been 3 gallons SH, 2 gallons H2O, two scoops of Simple Cherry and a shot of green apple Dawn. I plan on just replacing the Simple Cherry with 5 oz. of Elemonator.
