The rumor that bleach can cause shingles to dry out and crack has been spread by companies to sell their " green products". When confronted with this rumor I state that shingles have moisture "on" them that the salt in SH does dry out. Therefore removing the moisture that the alg...

am trying to find out more info but the roof cleaning forum is down. What i was wanting to know was how many oz of isp and ajax or Dawn to use per 50 gal of Water & SH? I am going to be doing a test house when the rain quits

First off I would like to apologize to Chris and others for not heeding to so many warnings about the ground flooding . The house in question was covered in lichen and was a very steep roof .We sprayed the roof last tuesday , with the plan of letting the solution set for a week to kill as much as possib...

Hey, WHATEVER it takes? Vinyl IS resistant to many chemical...

When I'm reading posts I always try to follow members links. I was just wondering if we all follow members links if this will bring their websites up in the rankings since it is more hits on their websites?

If you want to really make it sound like you know what you are doing tell the home owner that the main ingredient in your chemical mix is Dihydrogen Monoxide. You will not be lying as that is the scientific name for WATER! 65 gallons Dihydrogen Monoxide 35 gallons Sodium Hypochlorite 1 Gallon rubbing al...

Just sitting around here in Arkansas listening to the radio and taking in some roof cleaning info. and then led zeppelins "whole lotta love" comes on so the question is what is it gonna take to one of yall old pros and computer geeks to make us a music video to this. I can see it now.... pumps run...

I haven't seen this covered previously, so here goes. WE (emphasis mine) add our surfactant BEFORE we leave for a job, with the tank filled. The slight agitation from driving does enough to mix it without causing it to over-suds. Back in the early days, we used to add it on the job site, then spray th...

I just got off the phone with a small screen printer locally here and I am going to go talk to him on Monday to see what all he has the ability to do for me/us. I mentioned to him about the group but did not give a name and I am going to discuss with him the possibility of giving RCIA members discounts. Maybe espe...

Just wondered if any one here has tried radio ads and what they thought of it? I am considering it but I've always thought that the image of a before and after was the best way to catch the customer's attention, at least in Ohio where most people have not heard of roof cleaning. Thoughts?

Hello All, Great forum. I'm just getting started in this line of work. I found a website that might be of interest - www.tankdepot.com. They have plants in: NY, IL, CA, FL, PA, HI, and TN. I'm not sure if I want to dedicate a vechicle or a 6x10 trailer to this venture. $ is everything. Bill and Chris,...

I know facebook and myspace are hugely popular and are great tools for businesses, but does anyone have any experience with using facebook ads? They seem to use two kinds of pricing: For any available ad inventory, Facebook selects the best ad to run based on the cost per click or impression and ad per...

Since the search is down right now it is a good time for newbies (like myself) and those needing to refresh their memories to go back and reread the articles. Its raining here again so I decided to read all over again to make sure I haven't forgotten anything. I keep copies of writings on my computer to kee...

???? As a confessed former bottom dweller, I now pull from the top. Who else pulls from the top of their tank. Tucker told me to do this and once I started, I was amazed. the flow is so much better and more consistent.
