Metal Roof Washing! Love That Green Stuff!

[@randyvaughn4046]

Hukks come in handy for metal roofs. Metal roofs have become a familiar job for me. A bit of a learning curve. Stabilizer for your ladder is a must. No way that first side got rinsed from the ground, just not possible. After putting my hot mix on with my 12v I use a wand with my m5 and go over every inch rinsing A LOT after I cleaned it. That whole roof was walkable. I would have only gone up once and come down when I’m done. I’ve learned much great info from you Fresh. You are one of the first that got me going. Nothing about this job is easy. You Rock Bro

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@randyvaughn4046 Thank you my friend. I appreciate you. You rock as well!

[@kylemercure2918]

Thanks for the videos Mike! I always pre wet metal to ensure you don’t flash the color, also, keep misting it while it’s dwelling to keep it cool. Not saying it didn’t turn out great, cuz it did just mentioning it. We clean A LOT of metal roofs in Hawaii. Have a great weekend brotha.

[@TheFreshRinse]

I’ll take that advice. Thank you!

I'm glade you picked up that leaf. I would have been up all night thinking of it. 😮🤣🤣🤣. Nice job good buddy. I'm sure glad the gentleman was not hurt with that fall from the roof.

[@HouseWashingRick]

Hey Rick, I have a question for you. My name is Rick also. On my soft wash system when I spray water, sh and apple wash through it every thing works fine. But if I lay my wand down for a few minutes the apple wash goes back into the tank I have it in and the sh and water stays in the hose but the apple wash takes a few minutes to come back out of the hose. No matter what surfactant I use it always does that

[@TheFreshRinse]

You and me both!

[@robertgraham3800]

What’s your method and chemicals for unpainted galvalume roofs.

[@TheFreshRinse]

Great question Rob. Without being a jerk, I would politely pass. I’ve never attempted to wash galvalume, but I’ve never heard anything positive. If you must, my suggestion would be to have the homeowner sign a waiver.

[@mikeanglin5045]

I have done one and dish soap a long painter pole and a soft brush have watch many videos and all gave said no SH

“Gotta get that leaf off of there” 6:38 Throws lead back onto roof 😂 Just messing with you. Great video as usual. Thank you for putting out content we can all learn from!

Thank you brother. !!!

Outstanding job,Sir.

Much appreciated!!!

Mike, what is the gun you use? I've been using just a ball valve wand and it's not super efficient having to control it with both hands.

Nice vids . Keep em coming .

[@TheFreshRinse]

Thank you. Will do!

[@zfish]

mike is ur channel monetized and do you make anything off it?

[@TheFreshRinse]

It is. I do. Very little, but not enough for the hassle. If I didn’t enjoy being so stupid in public, it would be a waste of time. LOL

[@zfish]

@@TheFreshRinse nope not if you keep uploading. It’ll start adding up eventually you’ll be sick of washing and just wanting to make vids.

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@zfish I really do enjoy making the videos. Thank you for watching

[@freedomandmind]

Do you not need a mask for SH mix? Or is it fine ?

[@TheFreshRinse]

I do not use a mask. Some do

[@tonybersano2428]

Great video as usual, I just had a question, if no one rarely ever goes over 6% then why does everyone use 12.5% SH, wouldn't 10% work as well it seems easier to find sometimes.....

[@TheFreshRinse]

Great question. 10% is just fine for most projects. My distributor pours 12.5% fresh, right into my tank. And cheaper than I can buy 10% at the pool store

[@alejandroortizflores1246]

What chemical do you use to eliminate the rust ?

[@TheFreshRinse]

Rust Aid from Lowes

[@johnwitt586]

Are there certain metal roofs that will be a problem if they are sprayed with SH?

[@vin-techservicesexteriorcl8558]

Galvalume is a no go! Turns dark. No fix. Btdt

[@TheFreshRinse]

Galvalume for sure!

[@johnwitt586]

How would you know the metal roof is Galvalume?

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@johnwitt586 You might want to Google that one. There’s a lot out there on that.

[@rabbitskinner]

I do ten metal roofs per week you did a good job

[@TheFreshRinse]

I really appreciate that. Thank you.

Metal roofs my fav!

[@TheFreshRinse]

I’m not a fan.

[@XteriorxpertsFL]

@@TheFreshRinse I use to hate them but I’ve been cleaning some 40k + sqft low pitch state building in my area and they pay very well. Did 144k sqft of metal roofs in Feb. best month so far.

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@XteriorxpertsFL That’s awesome. Maybe I should learn to like them. LOL

[@saltpro5603]

I've always been told, and in turn scared to do so, that to hit a mix will flash the metal or cause rust. I'd be scared to hit it with 6%! Thanks for the knowledge

[@TheFreshRinse]

I understand. This was just soooo bad.

[@saltpro5603]

@@TheFreshRinsehave you ever had issues with hitting metal roofs with such a strong mix?

[@briannichols4091]

About how much sh did u use while doing this job

[@softwashscience]

This is when I would have thought the AR 45 would have been perfect for.

[@TheFreshRinse]

Yes, exactly!!!!!

[@GrantzFAM]

Is the AR 45 down for maintenance? Did I miss something? Great job brother!

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@GrantzFAM i mentioned it in the previous roof cleaning video

[@softwashscience]

@@TheFreshRinse I missed that, hope you get it running again soon!

[@TheFreshRinse]

@@softwashscience Yeah. Should be an easy fix

[@johnwiechel]

How much sh did it take to do this roof?

[@TheFreshRinse]

I honestly don’t know. I wish I could be specific

[@every_thing_wood1251]

Hey Mike, love your content and your personality. I noticed your first ladder was placed in a way that it could have slipped out from under you. I've heard of it happening far too often! Maybe I'm wrong, but thats how it looked in the video. We don't want The Fresh to get hurt!

[@TheFreshRinse]

I actually explained that in the video, but I hit the off button instead of the on button. Why? Because I’m a dufus!

[@vin-techservicesexteriorcl8558]

👍💯🙏✌️

[@pressurewashingandhoodcleaning]

do you use the same line you spray your sh with to rinse off?

[@TheFreshRinse]

Yes sir. I switch from SH to water with a flow pro

[@jayslo914]
