No New Posts Spray nozzles

Hey guys, just had my soft wash system installed by delux. I like the set up, and have it figured out. But the spray nozzles only spray in a fan, it's fine if I get on the roof or spray a house. What are my options for spray nozzles, I would like the best option for spraying from the ground or the roof line. I'...

Here's before and after phots of my first attempt.  It's my dad-in-law's house.  He's 96 and living with us now, so there's nobody there and the roof is probably ten years past its useful life.  The shingles are curled up and badly stained after probably thirty five or forty years.  This is the ultimat...

No New Posts Deluxe Injection system. Do they actually sell these? I did a Google search and found nothing?
 
(Preview)
I was just wondering? I don't know if the Injection system Deluxe supposedly had is still available, or if it ever even worked properly? I like to try everything that comes along though and I was wondering if this item actually exists and can be purchased? I think for many thousands of $$$ it comes with a...

I know people have the right to ask questions. But how many phone calls will you take from the same customer before you get that gut feeling to bail? If i dont lock the job by the third call i start getting that feeling.

For me it would be a toss up between TSP for tile roof cleaning and Ammonyx Lo for tile & shingle. Just a post to create a bit of activity here! Chuck

No New Posts How to handle this customer complaint? Deck Clean turned to Deck Strip! A bump I have to take in order to learn?

I cleaned a roof and house the other day and the customer was so happy that they wanted us to come back and clean the deck. I informed the customer that the sealer was looking rough in certain areas, but they said they just want the mold cleaned off and the deck cleaned, etc. Fair enough, I was a little uncer...

No New Posts How to clean around a dormer

I searched the forum and didn't really find much on how to clean around a dormer. Take a look at this photo. Let's say the the wood siding on the sides of the dormer has been stained with an oil based stain. How should you spray the solution on the roof without getting it on the dormer? If overspray gets...

There is some minor mold present in some areas on the home.  I was thinking maybe a mix of 5 gal SH and 50gal H2O with a...

No New Posts Do you think this will come clean with a regular house wash mix?

Sorry, I know this is a roof cleaning forum, but a lot of guys softwash here, too. I got a call to clean an apartment complex and it's obvious that it hasn't been cleaned in quite a while. My first assumption was that it would come clean with a regular house wash mix, then a worker came out and told me they scr...

I thought it was time for us to have an open discussion on the guest vs premium members. There are valid points from both sides but mainly, we have to find a way to not send someone new packing before they make the second post. As long as EVERYTHING is there, search-able, then there is nothing to hide. As lo...
