Don’t waste your money Walt, roof snot is less expensive and for us is the best Multi function surfactant for roofs.
You can get it from WindowCleaningResource.com or PowerWash.com
It works great for cleaning roofs. I use it in conjunction with Roof Snot for roofs. Roof Snot has better cling compared to Fresh Wash, but Roof Snot alone does not allow me to go as low with the 12.5%. Using Fresh Wash really helps cut down the 12.5% which helps reduce the smell and the potential risk to plants.
For the record, the smell of bleach isn’t a bad thing. I don’t use Fresh Wash to “mask” the smell of bleach. In fact, I want the customer to smell bleach. But, I also want them to smell lemons. The Fresh Wash adds a lemon smell to the air, which is just nice. People associate the smell of lemons with clean. If the SEE clean, and SMELL clean, it makes a huge impact.
I don’t understand the big deal with cutting bleach ratios, bleach costs are negligible so why not just keep it simple. Fresh wash, green wash, blue wash, plant wash…it’s all BS wash if you ask me…LOL!
Everyone around here relates to the smell of bleach as clean, never had a complaint that I can remember.
To each his own. You can only carry so much 12.5%. So if you can stretch it out farther you’re better off. I pick my bleach up, too. So if I can cut my bleach use in half, I don’t have to pick up drums of bleach as often. It also has to be a lot kinder on equipment, not to mention clothing.
You can live without Fresh Wash, but it sure is nice having it.
Since fresh wash ( which I love using for a house wash ) cuts down your need for SH, how many gall of SH do you end up saving on a roof wash? I typically use 8 gall of SH for a roof clean.
We are at 15-20 gallons per 60 gallon mix. Thats with 1 quart roof snot and 45 oz fresh wash.
I have been able to go as low as about 10 gallons of fresh 12.5, 40 gallons of water, 35oz of FW and 1qt of RS. I did have to do a second application on some small areas, but nothing more then usual.
