I have a soft wash business in Guatemala and did a job like this but with tile almost completely black covered in 70 years of nastiness. Had to pump spray straight 12% SH with some surfactant more than once.

Cliff great video on that roof cleaning. man, that thang is clean looks like a new roof my friend what percent of sh did you use on it and did you use any soap with your mix was you using a J rod raise tip to apply the mix
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash
6 ай бұрын
I used my jrod that's meant for a 1wv pump not my jrod for my pressure washer. 6% mix and yes I always use soap on roof washes to make the sh stick to the roof.
I get what you mean on the tile design! We had a roof wash customer with three separate roof tile colors. Night and day difference with before and after photos as well. BUT! The customer was convinced their roof wasn’t clean since we didn’t “pressure wash” and due to the darker tiles that were cleaned but dark. Kept comparing to their neighbors freshly cleaned ALL RED tile roof.

On that roof I used about 40 gallons of SH. That thing had never been cleaned before.
Is it really worth the liability of walking on the cusomer roof for softwashing with all the broken tiles? I would think it better to document with a drone and spray from a ladder using a long wand extension. Dunno. I've dealt with some very unscrupulous lawyer homeowners that the HOA maintenance guys told me to stay away - that they were shysters. Another great video! Love your awning education. Keep it up!
@PinkFlamingoPowerWash
4 күн бұрын
Yes it's worth it to me. Others may try a different approach for their business. Video footage is really helpful to capture the inital walkaround before cleaning ans making the customer aware of any broken tiles. Pictures also help if Video isn't available. Not everyone has a drone as well. You're not spraying every section of that roof from a ladder it has too many angles. But it all boils down on what you're willing to do and not do. I don't stain wooden fences but I will gladly clean them. I don't install gutter guards but I'll clean some gutters.
I often wonder how many tiles are broken while installing and just left for next guy.. good work Mr Cliff
