You don't rinse period, you let the rain do it over time. but you wet all the vegetation down and that you do rinse off.

spend alot of time reading it's all here over and over again.

Clyde,
I got the customer to understand the need to not rinse. I am working on the LOVE mix now to make sure I have the right amount. I posted it a few posts back.
Take a look and tell me what you think.

Dwayne if you use S.H. and Ammonyx your not going to etch nothing, it won't harm glass either. you only have to be concerned with using TSP, for it will etch things and could cause serious problems if it were to dry on windows.

The most important thing to do is keep all the vegetation wet. Again the most imortant thing to do is keep the vegetaion wet at all cost.

with that being said you should always have a helper with you so that he or she can do just that. Its very difficult for a solo worker to do that.

If you kill someones plants you will be sorry.

Ok....I spoke to my customer again and explained more in detail about the NO RINSE and they understood. But now since this is my first mix job as well I need YOUR advice. Here is what I thought. Remember to look at the picture. I will have a ground guy and will be covering delicate plants and covering shrubs.

2100 sq ft 4-1 pitch

30 gallons of-10% sodium hypochlorite (all I can my Hands on right now)
25 gallons hot water
1 lbs. TSP (Tri-sodium phosphate)
64 ounces of isopropol alcohol
1/4 bottle of Amox Lo.

Mix TSP night before in hot water.
SH in tank, will add H20 to SH then add TSP and then surfacant then the alcohol......

Hope I am right...

You're a little heavy on the SH. Your mix shows to be 5.45% sodium hypochlorite.

1 pound of TSP is not going to help much. 6 lbs of TSP would work much better allowing you to cut back on the SH a little. Etching will not be a problem when your ground man keeps everything rinsed.

I'd keep it 5% or below if you are using fresh 10% for a roof this nasty.

Wait 15-20 minutes before applying a second coat where necessary.

25 gallons SH

25 gallons hot water

6 lbs. TSP

64 oz 91% ISA, or 80 oz 70% ISA

plus Ammonyx Lo

Additional question, I read somewhere on here about bagging the gutters. Can anyone explain a buit more about that?

Washed-up · guest

Think of it like this.....

It rains and the rain water runs off into the gutters and onto the ground to be soaked up by the roots of plants, flowers, shrubs and grass.

Now Joe Shmo goes out to your house to wash your roof with his solution and it follows the same path as the rain water.....SH is not a food for plants
