Steep Roofs.

Roof Cleaning Katy Texas (281) 392-2304 · Nov 3, 2011

Are you cleaning a tile roof or a compostition roof? Ammox Mo will thicken it and slow the run off when cleaning composition roofs. I have found nothing that slows it down when cleaning tile roofs. When cleaning tile roofs if it is very dirty I have to spray the roof twice. I had to do so on this tile roof because it was dirty & steep. Dirty steep tile roof cleaning When cleaning tile roofs I prefer that they be above 50 degrees.

Start at the top and apply to half the roof. Allow the solution to work then apply to the bottom half as needed. Work the process and take your time. This time of the year roof cleaning takes longer due to the lower temps and the position of the sun. This information i posted is for a shingle roof.

Bourbon? No wonder you and I get along.

Alchohol (rubbing) does nothing for the cleaning process except kill your mix. Waste of money and time.

it does allow for more penetration or so many people say

Guest

where's the proof? and how does it allow for more penetration. Did you do a side by side test comparrision becuase i did and the results where the same.

I used it once and the smell stoped me off gassing like crazy . anyway back on topic what about that np-9 surfactant expensive but when its really steep isn't that the best?

Guest

yes np-9 would be the best but again its not chlorine stable like ammonyx. I would suggest using ammonyx just a tad stronger and treating it as i mentioned in my previous post.

I know we disagree on the alcohol Mike, But i do notice a " quicker " cleaning time with then without. But thats just me.

Ammox-m is the way to go , thicken it up a little and do as Mike says,

I also will use Alcohol if temps are low to help penetrate, but before alcohol I will use TSP, just for the fact AL will kill your mix..

you may try a foam tip. i have found that amonyx lo doesn't do much unless its agitated really well.
