I know many of you use TSP, but if TSP were not available anymore, what would you use in it's place? We are new, and currently use SH, H2O, and Dawn. I choose not to use TSP. Anyone recommend an alternative?
Thanks!
Mark

I have not yet eliminated the tsp but some say that when using amonyx Lo it is not needed.  I just cut it down to 2lbs per 40 gallon batch.  Whey don't you want to use it?

I was told it could clog up the pump. Also, I have no experience with TSP and am a little anxious about etching or damaging surfaces.
Thanks,
Mark

I am going to eliminate it on my next roof.  I'll let you know what happens.  As far as clogging up your pump just mix it up in warm water first and it will dissolve.

If TSP were banned, I would use a TSP analog :D

Seriously, if you research it, there's not quite anything like it.

TSP is hard to beat, especially on the dirty roofs in industrial areas with lots of atmospheric pullutants.
If you use Ammonyx LO, you can cut your TSP way back, sometimes even eliminate it all together.

Bag the gutters and dilute runoff. Any remainder will be so minimal as to be unimportant.

It was the total sum of all runoff when every cleaning product in the world (overemphasis mine) contained it; the total sum all aggregating through storm drains and then collecting in dams or dam like holding lakes that got phosphates banned.

Not a little residual runoff.

Use Ammonyx and you don't need TSP.

roof cleaningThats my man! Exactly right drop your wand and go fishing. Thats what roof cleaning is all about anyway isn't it? Make as much money as you can so you can go fishing as much as you can!
I will be trying the Ammonyx Lo. but in my area these people like a good rinse.

Update here:

Tried the Ammonyx Lo and it is the BOMB! Love it! Still tweaking the mix but its awesome!
As for the fishing, haven't gone once yet due to the newborn baby. So I guess THAT is what roof cleaning is all about!
