No New Posts Chlorine Mixures

I am looking for something good to mix with my chlorine. To thicken it so it doesnt dry out so fast and will stay active for a longer period of time. I understand that "Dawn soap" is good up to 48 hrs. Than after that it will start to weaken the solution down to water. I also understand that th...

No New Posts Vinyl Windows Turning Orange (Preview)
Every once in a blue I run into vinyl windows that turn a rustic color from SH.  Even happens with house wash mix which is far weaker than roof mix.  I can fade it out a bit with Gutter Grenade but not 100%.  I dont know what causes this or how to detect which vinyl windows it will happen to.

We have done a few roofs over the past week or so , we have been waiting for rain to come but it's only sprinkled alittle no heavy rain or even a nice steady rain. Will the roof come clean once it rains say 2 weeks from now or should we rinse?? What would be a good rule of thumb ?

OK, I had about 35 gallons of 2 week old love in the tank.  This stuff had Dawn and IPA in it so after 2 weeks it was pretty much just salt water.  In fact, it wasn't even yellow any more so I figured it was probably inert and safe to dump. Last week we had a huge downpour of rain so I went out in the rain and I parked...

Does anyone have a creative way to transport these bags.  We currently have a 55 gallon drum on the back of our truck which we place the bags in.  I think it looks tacky.  When we arrive back at the shop we have to unload out of the drum which can be kinda of messy.  Would love to hear how all you guys transport...
