I’m impressed with the before and after. I heard past discussions of having the shingle grit removed from using too much force. This is proof of how to do it right (the first time).
+Niki Baylor thank you
Thank you so much for your content. I’m here in the south as well and it’s good to pick up tips from someone with the same climate and issues in roofs.
+keith wilson Keith, glad to help. Whereabouts are you located?
Love the advise and actual research and explanation as to the sh becoming inert after time sitting on the roof, you set me free to not rinsing roofs!
Thanks for watching!
Hands-down the best description for roof cleaning I’ve seen out there I’ve been doing this for a while now And you were dead on keep up the hustle 👍🏼
+Eric Thomas Bland thanks ETB, I’ve watched some of your stuff, Scott Jarrard told me about you, good stuff. I have Cameo Silhouette and love playing around with vinyl- I do all my own stuff for trucks and signs.

+Fischer Anderson thank you
Just got a house with an incredible amount of moss. Spot up to three inches thick. Im having the roof inspected and any repairs done prior to cleaning by a roofer i work with. And this was my biggest concern. Ill be rinsing but not before the solution loses its chemical effectiveness. This way im safe the roof is ensured to be in washable condition and its bright and clean when completed. You just confirmed my process and i thank thee!

Hey if I'm using S.H. on wood for a stable do I need to rinse the chemical after for the horse's safety or is it ok?
Good example and good information
Always great info brothaaaaaa
Thanks Scott!
@@AllAboutPressureWashing @ScottCleansIt mentioned you in a video regarding this very subject, so here I am now. I just bought a bunch of very good pressure washing and soft wash equipment, but looking at what’s all involved in doing roofs, I feel like maybe returning all of that stuff before I start, or just staying away from roofs unless there’s no vegetation around the bottom, as I would like to stay a single guy on the job for a while. LOL!
Wow that looks great!
+Kevin R thanks Kevin!
Great information, what a difference
+Rick Washek thanks Rick.
Very informative!! Appreciate the video
+Elijah S. Thanks
Thanks for sharing
Great video !
In my area it doesn’t really rain that much, would you recommend to still not rinse? Would it also smell from the sun hitting the chemicals (sh)? Great video overall! Thank you so much for the info!
Great work my friend!
+Al Bianco thanks Al!
Amazing job thank you for the tips
You got it
The ARMA does recommend rinses the SH off the roof. Most contractors don’t rinse though. Remember too it’s the salt that’s left behind after the evaporation process that can do harm, drying the vegetation out. If you get a light rain it can cause some issues. Thanks again for the great videos!
Thanks for watching and sharing
I think the ARMA recommends rinsing the roof because so many people have videos up where they are using Dawn, Gain or other detergents when they spray their roofs. Detergents like that break down petroleum products and asphalt is a petroleum product. Many people seem to think bleach will damage an asphalt roof and make it brittle, which has been proven to be false. I think what it causing this myth is untrained (and so called) professionals using Dawn or Gain or other degreasing agent that breaks down the asphalt making it brittle, so I think the ARMA added that as a safety measure to cover their butt. AC Lockyer with SoftWash Systems in Florida has companies that have cleaned in excess of 140,000 roofs and as a general rule, almost never rinses a roof and he has had no issues, so I'd say that is a pretty good test to prove rinsing is not required when you are not using faulty products to begin with. On roofs like this AC would probably rinse the lower half of the roof that didn't have gutters, and tell the home owner to water the plants around the house for 15-20 minutes a day for 1-2 weeks. That's OCD overkill, but when you have cleaned as many roofs as his company, it's a good rule to protect the company for those oddball issues, but seldom really required.

I used oxygen bleach on my cedar shake roof which was very dirty etc. I was wondering if I should have rinsed or not. Any thoughts?
Is there any roof type that you would have to rinse? Im in Australia and we have mainly tin and tile roofs here.
What about some kind of like sealant in between washes you could charge for but would make the wash last longer
Does the 5 % mix kill lichen? I’ve found that Lichen is very tough to get rid of on roofs and siding. Input please. Ty
💚💚💚 Very in-depth info, thanks for sharing 💚💚💚
Thank you sir!
That’s awesome do u guys pressure wash after?? Or just leave it ??
Sorry if this was already discussed, but what is your opinion on JoeMax, mixed as directed. I’ve used it and was recommended it by others.
Thank you for such an instructive video. Will the sodium hyperchloride you use damage newly stained decking? I've used a semi-transparent stain and don't want any damage. In this situation, does a soft wash on the roof make sense?
A strong mix will bleach and discolor, do everything you can to mitigate that by having somebody rinse the deck the entire time with freshwater before, during and after
I like that saying about if it’s brown it’s coming down, if it’s black you’re getting called back
+StreetPreacher717 I stole that from Coty at Southeast soft wash
Is it acceptable to use the customers water source for rinsing plants and roof? Or best practice to use your own?
I plan to treat my roof with a backpack fogger. Would this work. My plan would be 1GAL 12.5% SH to 2GAL H20 + 4 OZ dawn (surfactant). Is the backpack fogger okay to use? thank you!
Totally different ballgame over here in the Uk. We deal in 90% stone tile roofs and we have to wash down. We even use turbo nozzles to break up the heavy moss!

+Pressure Washing Reviews 👊🏻
I just did my roof and it almost turned black after spraying it, any ideas. Dark grey roof, downstream injector with sh from the feed hose hose to the bottle and a little red surfactant . I was forced to do a high pressure rinse
Can I do this with a pump sprayer ? Or a x jet ?
When should i rinse and when shouldn’t i rinse?
Would u rinse a roof if it isn’t suppose to rain in like 2 weeks?
What gpm and psi pump are you running. Would you share the pump brand and Model?
bloody good video mate! from new zealand
+jamie .jamie thanks brother
can I use a ball valve to turn my ground based pressure washer into a 'soft washer?'
Great video what was price and sq footage if you don’t mind thank you.
I couldn't tell in the video. Did you use a ball-valve wand to apply the sh/surfactant? Or, what did you use so you wouldn't cause back pressure to the pump by applying it with such low pressure. Very well explained video. Especially about the time line of the sh and how the potency deteriorates after a short time. Last question.... do you feel if you don't wash the roof with no gutters would it be helpful to apply Agent Halt mixture to the plants/
Thanks,
Thank you, I am not familiar with agent halt, but I'm assuming it is some sort of SH neutralizer. I can never hurt.
I like Agent Halt as it offers very easy mixing proportion explanations for 12v, roof use, DS, and open orfice x jett.
The solution is dilution!
Preach Coty!
Fantastic job as always, gents. Greetings from Filthy Force
That connection has a different handle that comes with a power washer. New to this.
Two questions:
1) Can you provide some background and reference on your statement of the mix becoming "NON-TOXIC" after spraying.
2) What about aluminum gutters, lead coated copper, and plane copper flashing; should I be concerned about corrosion?
Why
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Because you're making a bold claim thats in opposition to everything I have learned otherwise about SH toxicity. If you have some evidence to support that statement I'd like to know what it is and its source? #2 is also pretty clear. SH is corrosive to metals, especially copper, so I'm interested to know how you mitigate the risk of rotting gutters and flashing when doing this work?
How do you manage roofs that have solar panels installed?
🔥
+JDoesitAll thanks for watching!👊🏻
LOL...I posted on a different video you uploaded saying I preferred the 5.5 GPM over the 7.5 GPM pump because it gave me more control of runoff and overall it allowed me to work faster, so it was cool to see that same information on your newer post. I'd only stress to the helper to focus on not walking backwards on the roof. Several times he barely missed stepping on the hose or walking into the raised section of roof over the doorway which could have caused him to fall. Besides that, he did a good job. I'd mention not wearing a body harness, but I don't really wear one either so what room do I have to complain? I know I should...
Dilution is the solution to pollution is used by many people. My wife uses that when our daughter eats too much junk food and tells her to drink a lot of water to dilute and flush out all the excess sugar and such. :0) I've used that for the past 9 years and I think I learned it from AC Lockyer in his training classes or on his forums. Great phrase that works in many instances.
I'm more OCD detail oriented about managing runoff on roofs like this with no gutters (or partial gutters), but with the amount of runoff you had, I'd worry about killing plants and having issues, but if you're having that much runoff and not having issues, maybe I just need to ease up on some of my OCD and just work faster and not worry as much about the runoff. My SH mix is equal to or less than what you use because I use SoftWash Systems Green Wash which has a bleach catalyst which allows me to use a lower SH concentration and still get the same results, so I just need to get over myself and worry less maybe. On a roof like that I'd probably spray about 4 feet up for rinsing so a heavy dew or light rain wouldn't push salt over the side onto the plants. I also made my own PVC gutter cane and I'll run it on high flow while setting up so the path of the SH coming from the gutters is saturated with water, and when I'm ready to spray and my assistant is ready to start rinsing, I dial back the gutter cane to a trickle and it spreads any runoff over a much larger area. I mainly use it when there may be plants near the downspouts, but otherwise I don't because I have an excellent assistant. I've only had plant damages once and that was my back up assistant. I asked him to rinse a garage roof after we cleaned it (no gutters), and he got sidetracked when his wife called and he didn't rinse, and the dew that night reactivated the bleach/salt and put a thin dead line of brown in the plants below, but the plants were healthy and green on both sides. Ultimately it was my fault for not going back and double checking, but that scarred my perfect record.
Tons of great insight
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Thanks...one update. My wife says I'm wearing a full safety harness this year LOL...
I try to make professionals lives easier. I am very OCD and I sit and think and think about various aspects of the job and what could make it better, easier, faster, or more cost effective without taking anything away from the top notch quality I demand of myself. Most nights I end up with a headache, but now and then I make a breakthrough. :0)
Can you make a video on doing this with beginner equipment
Is there somewhere a sheet with the chemicals and mixture ratio’s for different pollutions and on different materials( wood, rooftiles and bricks)?
We provide all of that on the How To Wash Course
You're the best 👍🏼👍🏼
I have a 20 gallon tank so if I'm batch mixing and using 10.5%bleach well thats what it's labeled as but the guy says it delivered as 12.5. Anyways how many gallons of bleach to how many gallons of water should I use to get 5% also I live in florida and doesn't rain here much so I tried to do my roof already because it had a lot of black on it so I did 2.5 gallons of 10.5 bleach with 17 gallons of water also some dawn soap. It took black off but now it's brown in a lot of areas ,also I rinced the roof since wasn't going to rain for weeks,I waited 1hr . Any help would be appreciated. If I don't need to rinse that would be better because I don't have gutters on y place so all run off goes in grass and I have to rinse a ton .
4:44 Can you tell me where did you find the article that explain about this information? I tried to find it but no success. Thanks in advance! Really valuable and well explained content.
@@HowToWash1 Oh thanks, I will do it instead asking your wife
Really Looks new!! Looked ready to sell!
+Brian Keenan yes sir! Thanks for watching
Agreed! The problem is so many people who are selling their homes wait until the last minute and want the roof 100% clean instantly, which means those are usually the customers with a lot of moss and lichen that take much longer to come off. They are also the ones that end up paying more money to have me come out for an emergency service instead of waiting in queue. Ill-prepared impatient people always pay more! Unfortunately they are also the ones that do not care about taking good care of their roof so they hire the lowest bid, which sometimes comes with dead plants around the house from companies with lower standards. :-/
Truth
@@AllAboutPressureWashing I washed the house of my first paying customer the second time and a guy asked me what I charged. This house was ~$400. Three doors down a guy paid $140 to a guy to pressure wash his house. Pretty much every plant within 10 feet of the house was dead. I can guarantee there was no rinsing before or after, and his mix was far too hot. It was a simple single story house so I'd have charged less than $400, but how much did that guy have to pay for new plants, and how much backbreaking work did he have to do to get new plants in the ground, rooted, and self sustaining without daily watering? It's idiots like that which keep the good ones in business. I wish I'd thought to take photos of that work to add to my "Don't make this mistake" portfolio.
What chem hose are you using in conjunction with the 5.5 GPM ? diameter/length

Good vid. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Hello quick question do you spray metered SH and surfactant only, or with metered water, SH and surfactant?
Water
Also if you’d like you could always foam on agent halt on the roof and foam it on the plants and landscaping below then do a light rinse without the fear of killing everything and a ton of soggy grass.
+Elite Exterior Cleaning good idea- we use a bleach Neutralizer if needed when dealing very delicate landscaping.
SoftWash Systems has a plant wash that is a mixture of water soluble nitrogen heavy fertilizer mixed with a very strong SH neutralizer. Typically the plants look better 1-2 weeks after I finish the roof cleaning than they did before I was there. It's a great way to ensure plants strive if you have worries about SH damage.
Is this AC Locklear? 😝
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Yep...sorry, missed this 3 years ago somehow. Personally, now that I know more about plants than before, I think I'd have added in some water soluble iron into the dry mix, if it's possible. That would give a nice darker green to the treated plants. My soil doesn't accept iron from fertilizers, so I opted to use a spray on foliar application this year and my lawn is much darker green.
Can you leave the sh on tile roof or you must rinse it off?
What size of house we should be use on 5 .5 gom water bump soft wash?
+Cleber Cardoso not sure the question
Can the method of chemicals be used on a tile roof?
In Oregon all houses have gutters, I'd there any difference in the process
Thanks for that info. I have question, if I'm washing a house or building that has windows on the upper floors and after I apply my solution to the building I rinse the over spray off of the windows but the runoff from rinsing the windows also rinses my solution from the building not allowing the proper dwell time in that area. What's the best technique for handling that? Thanks.
+Mr. Smith great question. The way we typically work when it is not a super hot and sunny day, we apply our house wash mix to the entire building starting on one side, working our way around the entire structure back to where we started. Then we begin rinsing, I’d rather have the chem do its job and rinse the windows a little longer
Also, you'll see the stains dissolve away, and once you do, it is safe to rinse. I use a product/surfactant designed to washing roofs and houses and it contains a rinse aid, so rinsing the windows even after the mixture dries on them is a breeze. I recently did a house that probably had the thickest algae growth I've seen and it took 4 coats to get it clean, plus some agitation with a soft brush...almost unheard of. Usually I am able to get everything with a single application, and maybe a single follow up. Anyway, here is a video of mine I recorded while cleaning my friends house for free on the side a few years ago. I'm allergic to cats and they have 3 indoor cats so I didn't visit often, but when I saw how bad his house looked, I made it a priority. Watch the heavy algae by the 2nd story window and do not take your eyes off that spot, and since this is a time-lapse video, you'll see the algae die and break down before your eyes, and the surfactant lifts it away from the siding for very easy rinsing. If I was in the same area as All About Pressure Washing, I'd not post the link, but since we're too far apart to compete against each other, hopefully he won't mind the link. If he wants, I'll remove the link.
ua-cam.com/video/M6rzHdaagvc/v-deo.html - I could have sprayed all the way around the house and had my assistant follow up 5-10 minutes later following and rinsing, but since I was working for free, I did it all myself. Rinsing is where an 8 gallon per minute pressure washer is great for a fast high volume, low pressure rinse! You don't really use any pressure on vinyl.
Great video you posted
I start with 12.5% SH and work it down as needed and pre-wet the roof, dampen only, before solution application
+jjohnnystipes That is really strong, most roofs we can are good starting around 5.
If this roof had an abundance of moss, would you have brushed majority, off then spray solution? Or spray and leave moss on then come back in a couple of weeks to rinse and remove the green? Thanks guys for the video.
+FPPL Softwash & Pressure Washing Hey man, we do not have Moss on roofs here. But I have seen where folks do you have to brush it off. Where are you located?

Love the video and detail completely explaining everything. I'm currently getting ready to buy a trailer and start my own business. Can anyone help me answer one question that I can't seem to get anyone to answer. My question is if I buy a soft wash machine and do house washes with it is the machine also practical for rinsing the house after I apply the s.h and surfactant? Or is it better to use a pressure washer turned down or garden hose.
You can do it with a Softwash machine but a pressure washer will expedite the process

house washes don't need a lot of surfactant so go light on the soap so in will rinse better you'll be just fine
