has anyone used Ammonyx LO house wash

apple said:
I plan to try it on roofs for no other reason than to slow the runoff and get a better cling. And if ive got it for roofs we mine as well use it washing houses.

I know Pressure Washer Products has it but does anyone have any suggestions as to where to look for it locally?

Unfortunately that company must have gone out of business. I went back to make some changes ant the link is dead.

I used amonyx last week on a tile roof. Filthy black. It worked so well I had to climb down and get my camera. I did not notice a significant diff in the amount of runnoff though, but i probably could have gotten away with applying less ane even a weaker mix.
 
I've used it on a bunch of House Washing and Roof Cleaning jobs that we have done lately and it worked fantastic. I actually gave a bottle of Dawn away to someone yesterday. LOL...One of the best things I love about it is that it doesn't leave a film on windows. It rinses clean. This had always been a problem in the past. I also feel a lot more comfortable leaving my leftover mix in my tank for however long is needed as it doesn't break down the SH while sitting.
 
How much of the stuff are you adding to a 50 gallon mix of roof cleaning solution?

What about a 5 gallon bucket of house wash mix?

I would like to order some of that stuff and try it out.

Thanks.
 
Here it is in action on a Shingle Roof Cleaning we did a couple days ago on a small Villa in Palm Harbor. It is a much better sticking agent than any other surfactant I've used and it allows the SH to go to work immediately.

It works even better on extremely filthy roofs with just a little TSP added.
The Ammonyx LO reallly cuts down on the amount of TSP needed.
1/4 to 1/2 Cup of TSP per gallon maximum is plenty enough when using Ammonyx LO.
We clean a considerable number of filthy bare concrete tile roofs.
I still like some added TSP for them.

On a shingle roof, IF your customer can wait for a good rain, an "excess" amount of Ammonyx LO will dry to a film/haze.
But once a good rain comes, it re activates, and makes a stunning looking roof.
We found this out the hard way, using Ammonyx LO for the first week.
We had a really steep roof to clean, with tons of plants/shrubs all around the house, and no guttters.
Our men put an excess amount in the mix, to thicken it up.
It stuck well, and cleaned good.
It left a haze/film on the roof that was darn near impossible to rinse.
They ran out of daylight, and left.
it rained hard that night.
We came back early the next day, and were confronted with an absolutely showpiece roof!

I was telling Larry the other day, that the Condo Complex we are currently cleaning had customers actually complaining that "enough suds were not coming off of their roofs"
The first Condos we did were truly filthy, and we used a little more Ammonyx LO for them.
The second group of Condos were not a dirty, thus we used less Ammonyx LO for them

The second group customers complained that they were "short changed" because not as much Suds/Dirt were coming off their roofs :nono:

So, to make them happy, we filled one of our tanks with a water and Ammonyx LO ONLY mix, and re sprayed them :(

Got to make your customers happy I guess ?
 
We have had fantastic feedback from almost every guy that has used it. They say that it goes a long way. Thanks for the feedback Chris T, Larry and Chris Francis. Larry says that he does not use our Stampede as much in the mix!

Hey Lori, what quantities do you sell it in? How much? How much would you add to a 100gal mix?:wave2:

Thank you Larry for all that great info may I ask how much did you add to house wash mix.

Chris, I don't measure anything. I've said that before. I'm more of a glob glob glob kinda guy. But,,, if I was to guess I would say aprox 18-24 oz to 35-40gals of SH.

Nick, about a 1/2-3/4 of a gallon in a 100gal mix seems to be plenty. It's tough for me to say cause I pull straight SH from my 125 and keep making more as needed into my 50 gal which is where we are pulling from.
