Personally I use hang tite. Don't need much, just enough to help with run off, which will be determined by the pitch. To much soap will leave a film.

Start out simple. Don't get caught up with all the high end equipment starting out. Lori at PWP, from the advice of the pro's on here, set me up with the basic's for about $600.00. You can start out with a couple 55 gallon chem barrels. A small trailer. I started out from the back of my pick up.

Like yourself, our season is about over. I am focusing on next spring.

Work on finding a good SH supplier. I went through a few companys until I found a good pool supply company that offers 15% SH fresh and their prices were cheaper. One company I used watered down their SH. It will be a trail and error process.

There will be an education process starting out. Most people don't realize their roof can be cleaned. Make sure to take alot of pictures before and after. Get a good camera.

All the answers are on this forum. Use the search button and do your home work and then ask your questions.

Starting out use K.I.S.S. "keep it simple stupid".

Welcome and good luck.

I agree that the most important thing is to find a good sh supplier Bruce.  So far no luck yet, but still looking.  I want to find somebody close enough to drive and pick it up.  Yeah, kiss is a good accronym to start out with.  Looking at some of the rigs on this forum makes my head spin.  Lots of roofs to be cleaned here in southern illinois and im looking forward to it.

I use to live there for a little while. I worked at Golden Correl as a cook for about 6 months.

I have a brother in Robinson, who cleans roofs as well. I lived in Palestine for a LONG time.

My last roof I used Ajax, I ended up using much more, but in a pinch it works fine.
