I been doing a bit of soft washing today

Disconnected di bottles poured 5L of hd degreaser into tank and run hose from tank to connectors, and up on to roof, worked a treat !

No need for big investment if u already have wfp set up.

Just have to give tank a good rinse afterwards

Only really starting to learn about soft washing now....I know about hypo but what does the biocidal wash do differently?

This vid best explains the difference blackwash (hypo) and biocidal wash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3n3QqTMDxc

Can Blackwash be used on UPVC or PVC?
Soft washing is the easiest way to clean plastics & painted surfaces on buildings.

Watching the link posts above I saw this video at the side.....

They "spent a considerable time developing that chemical"  do they mean the considerable time it took to drive to the farmers merchant and buy some hypo which it is ::)roll ::)roll

I bet they sell it at a massive mark up to people who don't know any better

Ur prob right there mike, tbh I buy my hypo at £16 per 20L barrell but I say to customers that's it's £50 a barrell but I can split it into 3 coz it high strength so it's worth aving, ..... That being av gave them the choice.

If I know am on a job  for the day I will include 1 barrell free tho, but always remember to take the suppliers sticker of the barrell 😁

I love jobs like this,  they just slow sometimes due to access, what am doing ere will run on for another few weeks, but that's another 2 roofs with this one finished Friday evening, but am off to London tomora to get meself organised for another big one for wen this project ends.
Once all roofs done it's a full external clean, all internal & external cladding and ends with pressure washing.
