Oxegen Bleach?

Liberty SoftWash · Apr 4, 2012

I did an estimate for a guy and got this respnse. Anyone ever use oxegen bleach? Will it clean like SH?

Eric,
Thanks for the proposal. Although I initially was going to contract with A & E, I had reservations about your use of a chlorine based bleach (S H which is basically a swimming pool sanitizer - HTH). I have personally observed shrubbery damage a few months after chlorine bleach was used by another reputable contractor.

Therefore, I have decided to use another contractor using oxygen bleach, which appears to be the recommended method if shrubbery is near by. If my results turn out to by unsatisfactory, I may contact you next year. I sincerely appreciate your efforts and still may contact you about house painting.

If it is per-carbonate oxygen granules it takes a long time for it to work. They will probably power wash it like the pooer...

You can buy a roof cleaning course online. They say to use s. percarb., let it sit for a half hour and then rinse off with a power washer. "So I heard."

I love when the customer knows better than you.

Ace is right, I bought an E-book when I first started looking into roof cleaning and it's focus is using OxyClean and then rinse off with a "roof gitter", same thing as a pitch witch, that you can purchase through the same guy who sold the E-book.

So customers are being improperly educated. Eric I would call him back, thank him for the response, but you can ensure him that you used the RCIA and ARMA recommended soft-wash. Also tell him your current track record for plants. 4 years and no plant deaths, is quite impressive. And of course if, there was any plant damage that you would put new ones in yourself.

Thanks for the input guys! I did call him back and wrote him an email warning him on the "evils" of pressure washing a roof!

Eric did the homeowners decisionhave anything to do with price! i lost a job the other day to a PW that gave homeowner a price that was 1/2 of mine!! I didn't find out what the PW company was using but the homeowner didn't care about the possible damage with a PW and cared only about the price.

I'm not sure. He did say, when we first spoke that the price I gave him was close to what he had in his head. Who knows, everyone is looking to save a buck these days but, the $$'s he saved may end up costing more in the long run!

You could spray dish soap on a roof and pressure wash it to "look" clean - or use a pitch witch or surface cleaner.

Eric how close was this job to state college? If it is I may have a round about way to knowing who it was.
