Just was reading on the net and came across some recipes wanted to see if they sound legit to you guys. If so I'm going to keep this for a reference.  Ty

Tile Roof Washes:
 
In a 100 gallon container, thoroughly mix the following:
50 gallons of 10-12% FRESH Sodium Hypochlorite
49 gallons of cool water (NEVER hot water)
1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of Hang Tite
 
Shingle or Composite Roofs:
 
In a 100 gallon container, thoroughly mix the following:
30 gallons of 10-12% FRESH Sodium Hypochlorite
69 gallons of cool water (NEVER hot water)
1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of Hang Tite 
 
Metal Roofs:
 
In a 100 gallon container, thoroughly mix the following:
20 gallons of 10-12% FRESH Sodium Hypochlorite
79 gallons of cool water (NEVER hot water)
1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of Hang Tite 
Rinse QUICKLY and hit it with a water based wax or water based tire dressing for a wet look
 
House-washing including Vinyl Siding, Brick, Hardie Plank or Siding and Stucco:
 
Use a watered down version of the roof wash by adding more water and using your soft wash system 
 
OR your downstream chemical injector or X-Jet on your pressure washer.  (Downstream injector:  Extend the length of your 1/4" injector pickup hose to allow you to drop it into your roof wash vat.  Most downstream injectors will pick-up a solution that will be up to 20% of your roof wash mix.  Use your 0030, 0040 or 0050 to apply soapy mixtures under eaves many stories up without needing a ladder or yellow noodle extension wand.  X-Jet:  Place roof wash mix in your container and allow the X-Jet to a diluted ratio of your mix to the house.)
 
If you need to remove a large number of spider webs or eggs that usually require brushing, use a more concentrated version of the House-wash Mix to DISSOLVE the spider webs and eggs.
 
Irrigation Rust:
(Not for Rust from Metal Rust, Like Chairs or Tables or Rust Stains from Vehicle Radiators)
 
Oxalic Acid Powder or Granules 99%(Purchased locally in a 50 pound bag, white powder;  Active ingredient in Rust-Aid)
 
Mix 8 ounces up to 1 pound of Oxalic Acid per 1 gallon of  WARM or HOT Water
Add Hang Tite or Dawn dish soap to use as a wetting agent even for horizontal surfaces
Mix Thoroughly
Use a pump up sprayer to apply to irrigation rust.  When it hits the rust, it should bubble up (similar to using hydrogen peroxide on a flesh wound)
Rinse THOROUGHLY
Let DRY completely between coats for best results
DO NOT MIX WITH ROOF WASH, SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE, SODIUM PERCARBONATE OR A HIGH PH SOAP.
 
Cedar Shingles, Wood Siding, etc. (2 STEPS)
 
DO NOT USE Sodium Hypochlorite or Bleach.  Sodium Hypochlorite or Bleach will permanently damage the wood breaking down the cellulose or structure of the wood and remove the natural colors and tones.
 
1.  FIRST STEP~CLEAN
     6 ounces of Sodium Percarbonate per gallon (Sodium Percarbonate purchased locally in a 50 pound bag, white powder)
     1 ounce of Caustic Soda or Sodium Hydroxide (Purchased locally in a 50 pound bag, white powder, granules or flakes)
     Hang Tite
     Mix THOROUGHLY
     Rinse THOROUGHLY
2.  SECOND STEP~NEUTRALIZE
     DO NOT USE SAME SPRAYER FOR BOTH STEPS.  Combination of two chemicals in first and second steps will cause combustion to occur.
     6 ounces of Oxalic Acid Powder or Granules 99% per 1 gallon of  WARM or HOT Water  (Purchased locally in a 50 pound bag, white powder;  Active ingredient in Rust-Aid)
     Hang Tite
     Mix THOROUGHLY
     Rinse THOROUGHLY
 
Gutter Cleaning:  Streak Lightening
 
Use PWP's Streak Lightening, available in 5 gallon buckets and larger, per Label Recommendations 
Streak Lightening is available in 5 gallon buckets, 10 gal, 15 gal, 20 gal, 25 gal, 30 gal and 55 gallon containers.
 
 
CAUTION:  TriSodiumPhosphate or TSP is a white powder often used to etch the layer of gloss on painted or shiny surfaces and frequently used as a cleaning and degreasing agent in paint preparation.
 
Avoid adding TSP to your soft-wash mixes for two primary reasons:
1.  If left to accidentally dry on glossy surfaces such as windows or shiny gutter or garage doors, TSP will cause permanent damage to the shiny surfaces and 'degloss' paint or glass and stain metal and cement surfaces.
2.  Use of TSP will give the possibility of violating the Clean Water Act or CWA.   If evidence of pollution by TSP or other pollutant by your company's services cause a fish kill, waterway plant death, eutrophication of nearby bodies of fresh or salt water, you may be held liable.  It is rare but can cost thousands in fines as warnings are almost never heard of.   Many states only allow the sale of a TSP substitute.  (We strongly disagree with scaring our customers....we believe in educating them.)

 No. You can draw plenty of value from this.
