That is exactly how we do it as well.

We don't remove oxidation, we clean it. It's still there, it's just clean.
There are any number of products that have been touted and tested over the years with varying levels of success and longevity. I tell my customers that it's wear and tear from the sun and environment and that I have not found a compound that I'm comfortable selling them. But I sure will be happy to wash it for you.

I'm sure greg has a great product. But, I've been doing just fine for years getting rid of rust and other stains with other products and the same products. It's weird seeing all the hype about getting rid of rust !

 
Have you found any independent group of people that have any long term success using a known non-successful product? It's okay with me if you wish to go and discover a new way to clean roofs. It's okay with me if you are the one to finally make it successful. It's fine with me if you first post that discovery right here.
 
What is not okay with me is for you to come on a national forum, a place of learning, and begin to denigrate the very successful use of a completely safe product, Sodium Hypochlorite. A product that, when used as recommended by individuals trained in the proper use of it, is completely safe and effective. It's in your drinking water, It's what cleans your babies diapers and it is absolutely safe to use. Go share your dislike for it somewhere else.
 
"The industry guidelines seem to have everyone backing away from SH. States are starting to get very aggressive from cleaning chemicals that are not green to our environment" are your words and they are in error.
 
Do not allow your refusal to get trained and educated in a product as an excuse to bad mouth its use by others.
 
This is not a drill. This is a rebuttal of mis-information.
. 

Just wondering out loud Mr. Dirt Buster. Please don't take this personal and it certainly is not intended as any form of an attack but It seems like you are talking down about a product that is successfully used daily to cleans hundreds if not thousands of roofs.  
 
From my vantage point, it looks like you need to educate yourself on why one of the only chemicals purchased in bulk by most every water purification plant in this country is all of a sudden bad for you and "everyone" is seen backing away from it.
 
Perhaps if you spent a little more time learning why the successful roof cleaning contractors wisely use use sodium hypochlorite as their go to cleaner, you would be less swayed by people that want to sell you something that doesn't work near as well.
 
I love trees and the environment almost as much as the next guy but you are going to have a hard time convincing me that the stuff that sanitizes diapers and makes our drinking water safe is all of a sudden a menace to the earth.
 
It's electrified salt water for crying out loud.
 
Bleach can hurt you so do wear ppe but don't fear it, seek to understand it.

 
That would be very nice of you Steven. Right after the deck is cleaned and the bill is paid. 

However, it's also important to realize that just because you're doing something for the publicity does not mean you're going to get the publicity. Smart business owners and association representatives make friends with their local or industry media rather than enemies.

That is exactly how we do it as well.

As far as gutter whitening, I would like to see product comparisons. Gutter Grenade, Gutter zap, super clean..etc etc. Maybe in different temps too.
 
With clean outs, I would like to see how people are doing the job. I use the old fashioned bucket and rubber glove method. Then I run a hose down the downspouts. Works every time.
 
I've heard of people using vacuum systems on them. I would like to see the effectiveness of that.

Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind to everyone, but when someone is unkind to me, weak is not what you are going to remember about me.

I like the way TGS shines.
 
Thanks Beth and Rod!
