Damn so it does have to be applied and brushed… I’ll give it a try here
Going to try both… Also going to try down streaming for the purpose of science… Should I try mixing it with surfactant?

I don’t think you need a surfactant for either.
Okay I’ll let you know how it goes stand by
Please do!
Very educational for me. I missed the prior thread. I hadn’t heard of fallout. Thanks very much everyone.

Let me know how it goes. I’d absolutely try the degreaser and a brush before I escalate though.
What foamer are you using?
I’d honestly just apply it with the brush or small pump up.

It’s very real. Lol best to point it out on white houses and mention the only way to get it off costs more.
Your best bet is that they say no thanks so you get on to the next house.

It looks to me like your mix is too weak. Go for a straight up pump and spray, no dillution. You can always dilute on the next project
This is a great point. I think a lot of this business is learning to identify issues, have solutions and a price for each. You should be able to tell if a house can be fully cleaned with SH or will need extra chems and work, and have a price ready for the extra work. Tiger striping on eaves is a great example.

There’s a different chemical for everything, hard to have all of them on hand. Maybe one day when I have my own shop and can store them all.
So I downstreamed both the degreaser and the clr
Both seemed to create streaks but wouldn’t remove it… Simply put it needs to be brushed… But it did come right off! I will just have a laborer for the days when we do house washes and have them do the scrubbing… Lots of houses in Ottawa with fallout then. The three first pieces of vinyl from the roof dowm are always terrible and the main reason people call.
Can anyone recommend a good brush or pad that can go on the end of a pole to agitate these areas with degreaser?
I have admitted defeat and realize that scrubbing is needed on every house in Ottawa due to the fallout that seems to be here… I wonder if The extreme cold and winter has something to do with it.

It’s crazy how some don’t deal with fallout that much… I wonder if this has to do WI u Canada cold climate.
Holy crap that sucks… wouldn’t that turn a 2 hour job into like a 4-5 hour job? If having to do the scrubbing all over the house?
Price accordingly.

This brush works great for applying chemical. It holds quite a bit of gutter grenade when applying to gutters so you don’t have to keep dipping

I haven’t spent half of what you have spent. Get your pressure washer set up with a downstream injector. Nothing fancy at all and just use 5 gallons bleach and one squirt of dawn or eleminator, or nothing at all. Or add a scoop of oxyclean and spray and wait. Garuntee you will be blowing and going. All this stuff like snotminade or eleminator are ok but super expensive. You will be surpised how good dawn and oxyclean work. Cut down on the soap though, i find on vinyls you dont really need it. ******* dawn with bleach****** if the mold is super thick half bleach with water and oxyclean. Its coming off like a prostitutes pantys.
