How much do you have left and how much are you using per mix?

Jesse Bracken · Junior Member

I have 100 oz it feels like maybe just under.

Ill go with 64oz per 100 gallon this time i guess.

I only have a one batch system so i cant do injection

Jesse,

You can augment with Terra Wash, but not until after you are done with the roof. Terra Wash has a degreaser in it that will break down petroleum products such as asphalt. Terra Wash also does great with breaking down spider webs on house washes. I use 50/50 GW/TW for house cleaning.

Try only using 16 Oz per 50 gallons. I find that's all I need to complete my work.

Thanks guys. House came out great. I'll post up some before and after pics shortly.

My pleasure AC! My first couple of house washes were using nothing but GW. Adding Terra Wash to the mix makes rinsing those spider webs and nests worth the investment in TW for rinsing spider webs alone. I had a single story house this past week on well water with such low PSI I was agitating and then I was personally rinsing the peaks at the ridge caps because I was the tallest and we needed every inch we could get to rinse a single story peak, but the webs and nests still washed away with that trivial water pressure. Because the flow was so bad I ran the plant wash through my bleach tank and seeing the vast difference between rinsing with water pressure and rinsing through my pump, I sold my wife on the investment for adding a smaller version of your bulk rinse tank.

Another advantage of augmenting green wash with terra wash is TW is about 25% cheaper that GW, so a 50/50 mix of GW/TW is a win/win all the way around.

Thanks for all the help guys. I have been blending tw and gw for a while. I was in a panic and wasnt thinking clearly. I ended up having more gw than I thought. This house was scheduled for a photo shoot, its going on the market, the day after I had scheduled the cleaning. So all I could picture was not getting the job done in time.

Mike,

Unless there is some detriment to using a 50/50 TW/GW mix, I'd still go with the 50/50. All things being equal, it is cheaper to use TW than GW ounce for ounce. GW is $133.75/5 gallons before shipping, TW is $102.50/5 gallons. Or maybe I misunderstood you and you are saying 16 Oz of GW and 16 Oz of TW per 50 gallons?
