What's up guys! I have a question here for all you using the Ammonyx Lo. What kind of shelf life or tank life are you getting with your Apple Cider/Apple Cider Sauce when using Ammonyx Lo?
I have been down and out for about a week, got my knee cleaned out and in the honor of the forum I will post before and after pics because we men love a good battle wound. Anyway I have had a mix sitting in the tank for about a week. Any thoughts? Will it still work, I am so excited to find out on Monday but I dont want to get to the job and have to dump a mix. Obviously I would just add some fresh SH but I'm a bit weary about the 64 oz of alcohol in there. It was a 50 Gallon mix. And I buy very fresh SH, so fresh I pick it up at the chemical plant where it is made, thats how I roll.
Hope everyone is having a good RC season, enjoy the knee pics. P.S. I know some other people are going to show their most recent injuries, at least I hope so, but for goodness sake Chris don't post your pics from the Chemburnt hemmroids you spoke about. LOL!

Smell it. Typically bad SH that has been degraded by an incompatible "additive" will have an unmistakable smell. Just doesn't smell like SH anymore. Just to take to big whiff. But yea,...test spot either way.
Smell? That is something I used to be able to do a long time ago... I also look at the color of it. Fresh SH is a bright yellow and old SH that turns back to salt water is a brackesh dark color. Also fresh SH has a slippery feel.
I had a batch of 40 gl SH, and 60 gl water, 24 oz ammoxy-lo that had only 30 gallons used. Went a week not doing any roofs because I was out of town, used it and cleaned just fine. I do not use anything else in my mix. It has lasted a long time for me but I also use the same roof cleaning mix to down stream with my chemical injector for house washing, works good.
Well it worked boys! I guess the billybob held her strong! I did add 1 gallon or so to the mix and I threw in a 32oz of alkerhal, she did pretty well though. better than I expected.
Survey says: Roof Clean and knee is holding strong!
I hope everyone else is enjoying their spring!

The shelf life of the SH with the Am Lo will be almost the exact same as SH and water w/o it. Actually, there is some degradation, but it is measured at a small fraction of a percentage, and we will never notice it, in the real world. And only after 21 days was any difference at all noted by the scientists doing the measuring
It cleaned pretty darn good. And I had IPA in the mix along with a dash of TSP. I barely had any SH odor today which is weird because it had some hot love going on up there. It was held in a 100 gallon tank and it was about a dead even 50 gal mix.
Also the green apple still held well, although I am not too crazy about it. I mean I love the smell and stuff but it just doesn't mask like apple sauce cleans. But it definitely was masked today. I wonder if the sit time had anything to do with it? Or maybe all the mixing going on while I was driving this morning.

It's ok. I am pretty pumped to have the right set up, marketing and knowledge base this year but I only cleaned a handful of roofs way back in 2008.
I do a lot of face to face marketing and I think people are really watching what they spend and never going for the extras. Everyone always asks if we can only clean the front of their house for less.
They take their time as well.

Last year I saw that a lot. Instead of cleaning everything they only wanted to clean the dirtiest parts. I still run into that situation this year but not as often.

I love IPA ! (India Pale Ale). Does it work as well as ISO?
People have been fighting about this for so long and it really gets to some of us. I think it's hilarious and even the best guys on here still throw out an IPO or ISP every once in a while.
The facts are that IPO is a stockmarket term, and it would be Isopropyl Ocohal if that were the correct abbrev. If it were ISP it could be confused with TSP or Internet Service Provider. And I actually hear some chemists say the term Iso a lot. Which I dig myself but IPA is it's proper abbrev.
IPA is definitely India pale ale though, and I am a fan. It doesn't always sound good when your talking about IPA in front of the customer, and then you say "Oh don't worry were just talking about alcohol" LOL.

many roof cleaners live here in the south, and some of us bastardize the anglish langage, lol We say Boilt Pnuts sometimes, instead of boiled peanuts and some say Y'all, instead of you all, or you guys, and I say younz guys I remember moving to Tampa from my old home in detroit, and someone asked me "How are Y'all doing" ? I told him I was not pregnant
My favorite IPA is labeled "Hop Stupid" and comes in a 24 oz bottle. After you've had one you forgot where you got it. Haha Any way, I picked up some 91% Isopropyl Alcohol from Walmart today instead of the 70%. And for what it's worth, I've forgotten to add the "alcohol" on some jobs and did not notice any difference in the results.
