Hi guys, What product can I use to reduce the smell of SHC? Do any of your customers get concerned with the smell? Thank, Dan

any concerns about the green apple smelling so good that a dog would want to take a sip? I keep thinking about how dogs like the taste of antifreeze. Maybe I'm being over paranoid.

Clyde. is right most of the home owners answer...

smells.... clean!

I wouldn't worry too much about the customer, worry about you smelling SH every day!

We Cleaned a whole Town Home Association today. Shingle Roofs, all the buildings and all the Concrete. We used the Green Apple scent in the mix from Lori and the Homeowners thought it smelled great. They couldn't even smell the SH at all and we went though 140gals of fresh SH. I gotta say the stuff is pretty darn awesome.

In 16 years I have never had a complaint about the smell.  For warn your customers that it will have a chlorine smell and you will not have to add expensive not needed extra ingredients.

I always tell people to shut any open windows,...as the smell can be intense if it is trapped in a small area. Outside though, there is only a clean fresh smell that no one seems to mind.
The Ammonyx Lo is a lot friendlier where the smell is concerned. Didn't realize how bad Dawn and SH smelled together until I used the Ammonyx Lo. The Dawn and SH are incompatible and the smell of it is evident to me now. Will be using the Ammonyx Lo from now on.

I actually have used Vanilla Extract in my house wash mixture and my customers love the smell. So try that for something that is cheap and readily available.

I also have used Simple Cherry from Pressuretex in my mixtures also. Maybe overkill because Simple Cherry is a detergent but smells great.

Jeff, Thanks for the information. If I can get Lori to call me back I'll order the
Ammonyx Lo.
Is Raystown Lake a major distraction for you? In a fishing sence. wink

That is a very good point. When I do roof cleaning or house washing I will take the dog and cat bowls out to the yard and turn them over so nothing gets in them. Before putting them back I will still rinse them out to clean them some and then put fresh water in them so the animals can get a drink.


I have had some people question me about the bleach smell before cleaning and I explain to them that the bleach is what helps kill the mold, mildew, algae and fungus. Some had asked if other things could be used and I explain that nothing works as good, will take longer to clean and will cost a lot more but I do have some chemical masks I can add to the job if the SH smell will break the deal.

I had one lady tell me on the phone that she is allergic to chlorine and the painters were going to use that to clean the house before they paint it and just wanted my opinion. I told her that using the SH is a good idea because it will kill the mold, mildew, algae and fungus that is on the surface of the house and if it is not killed before painting it will come through the paint and ruin the paint job, I have seen it happen a lot here.

I have not tried the apple fragrance that Lori sells yet, I want to as soon as I can, I read all kinds of good things about it here and on the other bbs's out there.

i love the green apple...expensive, but worth it in some scenarios.

I would say out of 300 roofs, I've had 5 real complaints on the smell, and 15 inquiriies on when the smell would go away.
