Awesome man!! Nice IBC score!! Years ago we used them to haul scrap.. cut the top off and fill um up.. 6 totes full of junk was a good load 🤘🏼.. was a fun side Hustle😃 I needed to pick up a few new ones.. soon... definitely not cutting the tops off my new ones 😁

Love the videos Joe. You've helped me out so much. Just filed for an LLC and getting my county license to start washing. Just a thought, you should consider getting a go-pro to record your videos. It may look kind of goofy but it's better than falling off a ladder. Safe travels brother

The problem with the GoPro is that it over complicate my process. I then have to download the video off a GoPro onto a computer and upload it into KZbin.

Cool. I was wondering if there is such a thing as too much soap. I had a customer call me after a rain came through and she said there were lots of suds on the roof. Guessing that doesn’t matter. Do you know how fast the SH becomes neutralized after the job? Thank you 💪

[@michaelc7283]

Hi Joe, MERRY CHRISTMAS Hey, I'm thinking of getting a softwash system with a blend manifold (proportioner) for next year. Should i look into the gen 2 or gen 3? Just in case i get some roof clients. Again not much in my area. By the time there's heavy moss clients change there roof shingle. Maybe i can education some clients that have some moss and save them money on roof replacement. My question on this batch mix. You mention in the 60 gallon tank you had 20 gal of (SH) 40 gal of (H2O). Then you mention 180 ounce of surfactant (LA Awesome) plus another 100 ounce of surfactant (Extra brand). That equals to 280 ounces of surfactant. I thought you only needed (1) ounce of surfactant per gallon of (SH). Wouldn't that be only 20 ounce of surfactant? Did i miss something? Just curious. I think the softwash system with the blend manifold is going to be helpful for me next year on roof cleaning or maybe some house wash. I do like the downstream method for house washing. Just seems easier. Thanks Michael C - (WA)

[@powerfulimprovements]

Hi Michael. Merry Christmas to you also. The GEN two is great. It has served me very well. The Gen three has a larger pump. 1 ounce per gallon is for house washing. you need more for roof washing
