Hey yalz, new member here. 4th year dabbling in the exterior cleaning scene and have ran across this site a few times. figured id introduce myself with a little helpful tip that many of you may already know but maybe not. As we all know, cotton shirts and 50/50 blends bleach out fairly easily and I ordered some long sleeve t’s last year that I have really been hard on and they will not bleach!!! they have had sh12.5 roof mix over spray on them multiple times and no spotting what so ever. hope this is helpful to some of the members here. If you all are anything like me you hate to let customers see your bleached out shirts. It always gets a bleach conversation going that customers seem to dislike. NOT WITH THESE. they are a sport tek brand and are 100% polyester. very thin and very cool in my opinion. Dr said I need to cover up as I was getting sun spots on my arms face so long sleeve it is
I like them but they stink so badly after a hot day. At least mine do. I just bought 10
dozen 50/50 blend again. Insurance deduction for safety orange.
so those are 50/50 blend. do you have problems with bleaching with those?? the 50/50 blend I had bleached pretty badly. I luckily do not sweat to much so I wouldn’t know on the stinking. don’t get me wrong, I smell like dirty feet every day. not my feet either. dealing with sh just makes ya stink!! LOL
This is my first batch of orange. I usually get heather grey in 50/50 from Queensboro shirt company. No idea if the orange will fade or not. They came in with the ice on Saturday lol.
I bought several grey under armour dry fit shirts in both long sleeve and short sleeve. All of my pants and my caps have bleached spots from SH but my shirts aren’t.
This is another question related to SH. Do you guys that have been doing this for years wear any repository protection? I’ve thought about it but figured it might freak customers out to see a respirator.
roof cleaning ABSOLUTELY!!! I do not soft washing a house though. not saying its a bad idea but I feel like you. you are gonna freak ppl out.
I need to start wearing one when doing roofs, I know breathing that much SH has to have some serious long term damage.
I always wear a respirator when spraying SH. If your clients are put off by you being safe then maybe they’re the wrong clients. That being said I have never had any issue from any clients because I am wearing a mask. They know I clean with SH and just because it is a relatively safe chemical does not mean that you want to breath it in. It’s just common sense IMO.
