Stick with the cider mix Rich,...seems to work better on these Pa roofs in my experience. But they do sell TSP at Univar. Also sold in hardware stores but not as cost effective as bulk distributors.
I put my apple cider sauce on just like youj say to but if I dont rince it off it leaves a white film on the roof. so I rince mine. We have very little rain fall here, so waiting for the rain to wash it of would be like waiting for peanut butter to run off your spoon.

Hi Drew, That white film happened to me once , it is the salt I believe. Maybe if you lighten your mix, it will not happen??? Just a thought. Your SH may be stronger than you think it is, so you may be able to save $$ by using less. If it comes clean thats all the SH you need.
Any Pool Supply Store that will sell to you in 5 gallon containers or some place that will actually sell it to you in 55 gal drums. Check the pool supply stores first. Shop around. You do not have to take the first one. Find the best price for your volume!

Drew - try cutting the dish soap you add in 1/2 if not rinsing when using the Apple Cider ?
Man James,...that roof was bad!! Just wondering with that pitch over the garage,.. what mix you used and how many applications did it take? Also what was the temperature?

Drew it would be to your benefit to fillout your signature to people know how to find you and also link to your web site. Look at the signatures in this thread and get some ideas.
I can`t seem to get a roof clean the 1st time. I`m using a 1/2 of bottle of Dawn to 35 gals. but it`s a 24oz bottle should it be 40 oz bottle? Thanks Kipp
