  1. Absolutely not! No way can a customer understand me using an 8gpm pump with the right chemicals or a big surface cleaner vs a "beer money" kid with a cheap homeowner machine and no chemical. I quote by the job and 100% satisfaction.
  2. Tapatalk not working on my phone.

    Yeah I'm on my phones browser now. So it is not setup for Tapatalk though?
  3. Tapatalk not working on my phone.

    Since the forum Redo I can't log in with Tapatalk. Anyone else having same problem? What do I need to do? I only get on my laptop a few times a week for business entries and hate fooling with it then.
  4. I would think a longer hose on the intake with a short hose for your small container and this should be a great drum pump for bleach. http://lifehacker.com/build-a-powerful-hand-pump-from-scratch-with-pvc-pipe-1186786117
  5. Could not get it clean.....

    Can you reach it with a brush on a longarm pole? How high is it? F8 would work great on it brushed on and rinsed off. When you are brushing it wear ppe. Don't want acid in your eyes or on your face or skin.
  6. Could not get it clean.....

    Rust stains. Bleach won't touch it. You'll need some acid. F8 oxalic or F9.
  7. black streaks on gutters! what do you use to clean them with?

    Well I went back and did find ingredients in the msds Weight % Ingredient & Exposure Limit 0.01 to 2.5 0.5 to 4.0 Orange Oil Blend(CAS# 8008-57-9) & (CAS#111-76-2)) Ethoxylated Alcohol (CAS# 9036 19 5) 0.5 to 1.5 Disodium Salt (CAS# 6834-92-0) Tetra Sodium EDTA (CAS# 64-02-8) 0.5 to 1.5 0.5 to 0.8 Hydroxy Sodium (CAS
  8. black streaks on gutters! what do you use to clean them with?

    I can't seem to figure out the active ingredient. ..msds doesn't show anything. Do be sure to dilute it 4 or 5 to 1. I did read where someone stripped paint with a stiff brush and I think they said a 1 to 1 dilution. I use a soft brush.
  9. black streaks on gutters! what do you use to clean them with?

    Actually I started using LA's Simply Awesome this year and have had fantastic results. I put 1/2 gallon in 2 or 2-1/2 gallons of water and apply with a soft brush. I always first spray my downstream wash mix and then my tech falls in behind me brushing the gutters. So far this year it has not let me down. It had been very effective. I finally got around to taking some b/a pics today. I've got to start doing more of these pictures. [ATTACH]20432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]20433[/ATTACH]
  10. Concrete mix...soap or not

    Caustic soda beads aka sodium hydroxide. It's used in making bleach. It is common at any chemical supplier. I get mine from Univar. Don't make it too strong it strips stain from decks and can strip paint in string solutions.
  11. Cleaning wood ceiling

    I agree too. Sod percarb is very weak at killing mildew. I would think the top of the boards might need cleaned too.
  12. sodium percarbonate

    Yes please confirm so we can help SH could be either sodium hypochlorite (bleach) or sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) . No clue what SB is.
  13. Concrete mix...soap or not

    Typically I only use tsp on painted siding when prepping for repaint. Too strong a mix can mess up glass im told but I've never had a problem. Tsp etches the paint microscopically to help the new paint hold better.
  14. Concrete mix...soap or not

    I downstream using an 8gpm machine so I am told I should draw about 1 gallon soap for every 16 gallons water. I have never tested it but I believe I'm drawing a good bit stronger. Wheather I'm using 12.5% or just store bought bleach I still get good results filling a bucket half water and half bleach. Depending on what im washing I add two or three cups simple cherry or sodium metasilicate or tsp. If I'm using just household bleach I add a cup of caustic soda to help kick up the cleaning power. I can easily clean the nastiest houses with this mix.
  15. sodium percarbonate

    It is not very effective for roof cleaning. You still have to come back and pressure wash the roof afterwards is my understanding. Sodium hypo is the way to go. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 2
