RE: Liquid Gain Dishwashing Soap is THE Best Store Bought Surfactant For Roof Cleaning
Permalink  
 


On Friday I decided to do an independent surfactant test (I like testing things myself to be sure) I bought a few products I had been meaning to try.
Among them was liquid Gain laundry soap which I had thought Chris was suggesting. Gain dishwashing detergent was there so I grabbed some to
test for kicks. My independent conclusion was that the dishwashing soap was much better than the laundry soap (even though I thought the laundry
soap was Chris' suggested surfactant) and just as good as ammonyx. Chris gave me my certification test on saturday night, we had a laugh about it
when we got to the subject of surfactants.

Thanks Roger.
I'm doing my salt test now Chris.


 Washing Not Baking Soda may work too as a thickener, and if so, has some advantages.

The thickeners used must be friendly with chlorine, this is why we do not use corn starch, etc.

 We have equal amounts of both, with a mix of different styles such as gambrels, capes, ranches of all different roof materials. Never a boring day! Lol

 On steep roofs, do not be scared to add more Gain! Or, mix it with some Ammonyx LO either.

 You can thicken it up by adding some salt to it Chuck, if you want. Try 1/4 cup salt to a large bottle, and stir, watch that chit thicken right up!

 Just saw that you said the mix amount. I asked before I saw this. Thanks Chris!
