I’ve had three customers in two days tell me they want to apply wet it and forget it to they’re home as a post treatment to make the cleaning last longer. They must be marketing this stuff heavily. I told all of them we don’t offer it but if we did it would be an up charge. I’m tempted to just go buy the stuff and use it as an add on.
Is there a commercial version of this stuff that I can buy in bulk?
Is it worth it/will it even work remotely. My only concern is getting called back the next year by an unhappy customer because it didn’t prevent it.
Maybe I’ll just do it for customers that inquire about it with a warning of not really sure if this stuff works.
I’ve used it on my house couple years ago seemed to work well. I always get asked about it. Nowhere near the results on a roof though. (My experience)
It kills the green but it takes a few good rains for the siding to look good imo.
My neighbor uses it on his cedar wood siding and it looks good. Like to know more about it, but SH is still king.
It’s an EPA registered pesticide. My favorite part is where it says right on the label not to allow it to go into waterways or storm drains! It kills a LOT of stuff and is poison to wildlife and fish.
They are all similar. Wet and forget, spray and forget…the formula is pretty much on the epa master label. You can’t buy an epa registered quat unless you plan to put it in an epa registered product, but they will sell anyone a slightly modified version that is still a deadly quat. You just can’t make any claims about it killing mold or stopping mold. It’s still over $3 a POUND! But it doesn’t take much in the bottle to get the same effects.
Frankly I think it’s a bad plan and I’d inform the customers what the label actually says. Go and look at a bottle and take a picture of the warnings. Be the guy who educates rather than going with the market. Don’t be the doctor who said cigarettes were “safe”.
With that said, it will likely be the plan going forward. However, does it make any sense at all to clean a house with SH and then immediately apply quats? Would it extend the cleaning staying clean?
Customers likely don’t care about what the label says but if I could tell them it makes no sense and is useless. Legitimately useless, the educating would be much easier.
At this point it’s moslt out of curiosity. A total of three customers won’t dictate services offered.
Wait. Are you trying to say that cigarettes aren’t safe? They changed all the cigarettes to fire safe so I can smoke in bed without any worries. You’re just living in the past! Get with the times!
Here in Louisiana no warranty on house Washing lol. I have several that get washed twice a year. They’re basically clean and mostly just washing the north side but a warranty here wouldn’t be a good idea. Roofs should be good for 3yrs but I don’t really know as I’m in my 2nd season. Doing 2yr atm. Maybe I’ll adjust it down the road.
