hello to everyone,this is my first post.I've been cleaning roofs for 5-6 yrs now and after finding this site, and talking to Chris T. IThink I'm missing the boat. I have been using sodium hydrxide and the power washer to clean. I am really interrested in mixing some apple cider sauce but dont know of a good source for sodium hypochlorite(I live in Springfield, Ohio--Shingle shine roof cleaners). Also Would like some tips on equipment-pumps, hose, tanks, and what you need to do as far as protecting any landscaping / gardens.
Thanks to anyone who would be willing to share what they know and help me to get restarted

Hello Tim,
Welcome to the RCIA
Please take the time to fill out your signature page and avatar so we can know you better. Add your website and links like others on the board.
Please read and use the "search function" and your questions and knowledge will increase.
Stick around and keep an open mind and more shall be revealed,
Not sure of the size of your town. Look in the yellow pages under pressure washing and or Chemical suppliers. Do some calling around and follow a few of the links such as univar as mentioned by our man from St. Louis. My supplier is about 10 miles from my house and delivers 55 gallon drums for$137 each. It is recommended that you only keep enough SH on hand to last 3 to 4 weeks and to keep it covered as it will start to breakdown/weaken. Enjoyed talking to you over the phone earlier today. Call any time if I can ever help.
Please utilize the search feature on the tool bar at the top of the page...the info you seek is already here and has been provided by the certified Instructors as well as experiences by newbies like me.... Good luck and enjoy the BEST WAY TO CLEAN A ROOF !!! Brought to you by the proud, the few, the Roof Cleaning Institute of America !!!

Where is Springfield? The best start to find SH is to follow the link to Univar above and go from there. As far as equipment it depends on what you want. The Fatboy from pressure Tek in Cleveland is a great pump to start with, or to continue using which I do ( I love it).
