Sodium metasilicate

I seen the topic of Simple Cherry being used,...isn't that the main ingredient in Simple Cherry?

No, Simple Cherry is similar to Emulsifier plus.� For house washing.

Sodium tripolyphosphate. STPP
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_tripolyphosphate

Not quite as strong as TSP, and is gentler on screens, windows, painted surfaces.

Power house from Sunbrite, is a very strong degreaser. For house washing, gutter cleaning.

It contains sodium metasilicate, sodium hydroxide, butyl, etc.

Break it DOWN ??
Ok, "Hammer Time"

If you read the article, you will see that UP to PH 13, formation of the Hyperchlorite Ion�INCREASES
This does NOT mean Mike Sullivan is wrong either.

Because at REAL high Ph, there is almost NONE of the Hyperchlorus Acid that KILLS the Algae spores�present on the roof�!!!

At PH 11, the ratio of Hyperchlorus Acid that Kills and the Hyperchlorite Ion the CLEANS is 70/30

That is 70 percent cleaning/30 percent killing power

At PH 13, it is 90/10 !!

So, higher PH's DO clean better, but the cleanings last LESS Long, unless you treat the roof afterwards.

Perhaps THIS explains why Apple Sauce is so long lasting ??

The Borax buffers the solution�down to PH 9 to 10, and there is still plenty of killing power.

Chris, do you still have the picture of the guy who used Hydroxide and turned the roof completely black? Sure makes for an impressive B&A Picture!

This Pdf white paper on Soduim Hypochlorite is an excellent reference source.

I didn't have this one on file.

I do now!

I read it and understand most of it which is suprising biggrin

Thanks for posting this Chris!
