I tried a generic brand of Lauramine Oxide. It didn't work the same as what everyone has said about Ammonyx Lo. They're both the same chemical but the generic brand was too thin.

I ended up using an additional 90 ounces of dawn on top of the Lauramine Oxide for a 40 gallon mix.

I'm going to order some Ammonyx Lo and try it instead of the generic garbage next time.

Mike, I spoke with Chris last night about the generic. I was going to try the Ammonyx M. It is a little thicker. We are going to try and see if you can use less of the M than the LO. It will save on shipping overall.

How much of the generic did you use for a forty gallon mix? Weird that it would be THAT much worse...

I used about 40 ounces. It's supposed to be twice as thick as dawn.

I can tell just from tilting the gallon jug back and forth it's not.

I knew it was going to be too thin before I even tried it.

The generic stuff is probably mostly water, and not worth it.

Good to know. I'm taking generic off my shopping list. Thanks to Mike for sharing this info!

According to my research Lori, The Myristamine Oxide (Ammonyx LO) will be far better, as a thickening agent.
Can we call it the "Apple Butter" roof cleaning

LOL! I'm looking forward to trying the Apple Butter, thanks Chris.

No, I haven't been on in the last few months,...haven't even been viewing until the last few days. Figured I jumped on board to see what's changed in the forum world. Looks as though there was some inner turmoil that erupted between the leaders. One chief is usually enough, Ha,Ha.

I am interested in using this surfactant in place of Dawn. My first question is does it make nice clinging soap bubbles and does it have cleaning properties, or is it just used for "hangtime"? In the meantime I will dig around here and see if these questions were already answered.

More roof cleaning before and after photographs in Summerfield NC.

We got this job from a customer who saw our yard sign we put out on the previous job posted above.

We had to go over a spot above the garage twice, which is why it still looks wet.

Here is our first roof cleaning job in Ramseur NC.

This job was 31 miles away and took a while to get to, but it was worth it.
They had us clean the roof, driveway and the outside of the gutters.
