Here is a roof I did. The after pics were after two coats, no rinse. I have to wait till it rains to get some good after photos. The temp was in the low 50's when I did this -- Edited by Kleen Roof and Exterior Cleaning on Tuesday 4th of December 2012 08:43:47 PM

Has anyone done testing on their mixes they use on roofs. Tests for PH, free chlorine,dissolved solids ? I am starting to keep track of what my mix is before I use it, but am looking for a bench mark to go by. And what test would be the most important for how strong the mix is. I'm not sure if testing for diss...

What do you guys and ladies think about this chemical strainer. It is about a little over six inches long, composed of nylon and 50 mesh? OK. Guys and Ladies, I just got off the phone with the KING of ROOF CLEANING experience, Chris Tucker from Apple Roof Cleaning in Tampa Bay. This filter should be u...

Mike wrote this below, does anyone have a picture of the coupler used to set up a 3 way nozzle on a garden sprayer? My pressuretek spray wand broke and I dont want to buy another (they are lousy) I would rather use a run of the mill home depot sprayer, but just need to know what adapter or coupler is used to go...

It seems that many non-pressure roof cleaners also do "pressure washing". I've read about using "our LOVE" on other things around the house. I also realize (I think) that this chemical cleaning is referred to as "soft washing". I do NOT do power/pressure wa...

It didn't seem to have any holes or cracks anywhere so I wasn't real worried about mix dripping down from random spots on the gutter. What I was not ready for was the fact that there...
