Sometimes while cleaning a roof, I will use the roof mix (10% SH, water and gain is what I use for roof mix) to clean the exterior walls of a house while the bushes are covered. I have done this over a hundred time with no problems. Except for this time. In the picture the two walls are two...

I keep getting a letter from google every couple months that offers $150 in advertising when I spend $50. I have been thinking about giving it a try. The only thing that has been holding me back is that I already have decent web presence in my area and I'm not sure how much running a google add...

I mostly do roofs but I'm getting into some residential flatwork. Do you always have to re-sand the joints after cleaning the pavers with a surface cleaner? I know that it is recommended that you do but is it necessary when the pavers are set really close together?

Here is a pic. He first just wanted to clean the first part of the dock where there was a lot of algae. I applied a roof mix and let it set for a min or two and then rinsed with 1200-1400 psi. Turned out good but made the rest of the dock that wasn't that dirty look old .

For some reason when I reply to a PM I get no conformation that it was sent. After some frustration I realized that by default it does not save a copy of the sent message in the sent message folder??? If the default setting was changed to save a copy of the sent message in the sent message...

Looking for some advice on cleaning a wood deck on a lake. One of my customers has a lake house they are putting on the market. He's not looking to have the wood stained and fully restored. He just wants the 2x4 wood planks cleaned to make the property look better for listing purposes. Is there...

I have a local apartment complex that wants their roofs cleaned. Each building is about 10,000 sq ft. All of the buildings total about 160,000 sq ft. They are two story medium to low pitch and about 3/4 of the roof of each building has gutters. About 1/4 of the shingles are really black. The...

I have only used gain so far. Hard to beat $3 for 44oz, easy to find, helps the mix smell less harsh, grips well. What do you guys think of Hang Tite and Roof Snot? Pros, Cons???

I have been wanting to share this for a while. I have found a pair of boots that have an UNBELIEVABLE grip on even the wettest, steepest, and soapiest tile roofs. They use a oil and slip resistant type of tread that you find on shoes that cooks wear in restaurants. They are 12" boots so they...

I will be the first to admit that I am not the best at making a roof cleaning video. I wanted to make something that shows how the roof cleaning solution is applied. Something short and sweet. My next one I make will have mostly all voice instead of music and be more descriptive as far as the...

I don't usually have problems with burnt leaves on plants, but it does happen from time to time. The only times that I have is when the following rain is just light enough to loosen the roof cleaning mix onto the plants leaves. If its a heavy rain then no issues. I was looking into trying Plant...

I am cleaning a roof tomorrow and the customer informed me today that the house has solar panels. I didn't notice them before. I imagine if they are on a roof they are pretty weatherproof so I was planning on just using my normal single roof mix with 30% SH and 70% water with some gain and rinse...

I was cleaning a roof in lakeland, FL and when I was spraying I saw something sticking up out of the roof. I looked down and it was a .40 cal round lodged into the shingle. Must have been from one New years when people shoot up into the air.
