Thanks guys! I used apple cider sauce. Did not rinse. It totally made sense. I can really see that when the next rain comes you almost get a bonus wash. The only thing is we had alight rain this morning and some strong love came out of my gutter. There was not enough rain to really get it down the driveway. Any thoughts?

Don't confuse soap suds coming out of the downspouts with "strong love". The suds may continue for several rains depending on how much you used and the amount of rain. Most of the SH will be inactive after 8-12 hours and should not be a problem. Rinse with your water hose if there's any doubt.

it's my understanding that it's the light rain you really need to be concerned with because it's just enough to create problems with the vegetaion intead of a soaking rain wetting everything down.

Most of the SH will be inactive after 8-12 hours? Where else can i find that info? I would like to be able to tell a customer that. The mix that came out of my gutter still had a strong bleach oder.

I have seen where it has lost it's ability to kill mold within 1minute of hitting a 160 deg Tile or Shingle Roof surface. Typically on an average temp day the strength and potency of the sh will only last up to an hour or 2 in say 65-70 deg Roof Surface temp. After this it begins to break down to just a salt ( sodium) and is harmless.

congrats Mr. R beautifull job!
i'm sure there's more busines to come your way.
more power to your company!
