Apple Roof Cleaning
Roof Cleaning Instructor
I am Chris of Apple Roof Cleaning Tampa, the founder of the Roof Cleaning Institute. I want to share my discovery with all my fellow Roof Cleaners.
We have been using this everyday, on both tile and shingle roofs, and it rocks! We buy it at Family Dollar Store, they have 44 oz Original scent NON Antibacterial Liquid Gain Dishwashing Soap for 3 dollars a bottle! One of these per 100 gallons of mix seems about right.
It is also strongly scented. It appears to be totally chlorine compatable (after all, it has Ammonyx IN it) combined with Sodium Laurel Sulfate, that is also totally compatable with a roof cleaning mix!
You can use more (or less) then 44 ounces per 100 gallons of mix. Just for kicks, we threw 3 of the 44 ounce bottles of it in 125 gallons of roof cleaning mix on an 8/12 pitch shingle roof, and it stuck like glue!
Then, we put 4 of the 44 ounce bottles in 100 gallons of mixed chlorine and water on a Friday afternoon, and took the weekend off. On Monday, we cleaned a couple shingle roofs with THAT mix. It was still real soapy, and cleaned great. We noticed NO weakening of the mix at all!
I feel very confident about suggesting it. Theoretically, it should have worked, because all it's ingredients are compatable with Chlorine, unlike any other liquid dishwashing soap. But, we never rely on Theory, w/o actual on the roof testing. Original Scent Green Liquid Gain Dishwashing Soap works, it works very well, and will not eat your mix up. Plus, it is cheap, and readily availiable, when you need it!
