The Life Cycle of Your Roof: Maintenance Tips and Tools 🏠🛠️🌈

Roofs are like human beings. They are born, they live, and then they die. Although this might sound slightly dramatic, understanding the life cycle of your roof will help you maintain it, adding years to its life. Need to learn how to do it? Stick with us! With SoftWash UK Ltd, your roof is in good hands. 👐

Understanding the Life Cycle of a Roof 🔄

Just as it goes with organisms, roofs have a life cycle, which consists of three stages: installation (birth), maintenance (life), and replacement (end of life). Let's delve a bit deeper into each stage.

Installation - Birth of Your Roof 👶🏡

When a new roof is installed, it is like a newborn baby—fresh, clean, and problem-free. However, just as it’s essential to take care of a baby, your roof needs regular checks to ensure it’s functioning well.

Maintenance - The Life of Your Roof 🧑🏻‍🤝‍🧑🏾🏡

Regular maintenance keeps your roof healthy. From visual checks for damaged or worn-out shingles to professional inspections and soft washing, this is the stage where your roof’s lifespan is extended. Using a professional service like Soft Wash Equipment from SoftWash UK, you can ensure effective roof maintenance.👍

Replacement - The End of Life 🔄

Eventually, every roof comes to its end. Whether it's because of wear and tear or severe weather conditions, roofs will need to be replaced. But by extending the life phase, you can delay reaching this stage.

Essential Roof Maintenance Tips and Tools 🛠️

Extending your roof's life phase is not hard if you have the right tools and advice. The following tips and tools are essential in maintaining a healthy roof.

Regular Inspections 🕵️‍♀️

Regular inspections can prevent minor issues from becoming massive headaches. So what are the signs to look out for? Missing or cracked shingles, rusting, and moulds could be early indicators of a problem.

Soft Washing 🧽

Soft washing not only cleans your roof but can also help to extend its life span. But what is soft washing? It's the use of low-pressure water and specific cleaning solutions to clean your roof efficiently without causing any damage. SoftWash UK offers a wide range of soft wash chemicals and training courses for those considering DIY. 🔬📚

Conclusion 🎉

Understanding your roof's life cycle is essential in home maintenance. By maintaining and caring for your roof, you can ensure it lives a long and healthy life! And remember, if you need any help along the way, SoftWash UK Ltd is here to help with a wide range of Softwash Chemicals and top-notch cleaning equipment.👌

What are you waiting for? It’s time to become your roof’s health inspector! 🕵️‍♀️🏠

Soft Wash Calculator App

Now you can say I've got an app for that!

    

Available NOW Click Here To Download

Softwashing calculator is an indispensable tool for juggling complicated chemical mixes. It helps reduce wastage and keeps operating costs down by giving accurate proportions

If you are having difficulty getting your head around the maths, trying to work out what percentage of softwash you need, how much chemical, surfactant and water to add, then this is the App for you.

 

 


The Soft Wash Calculator App allows you to work out your soft wash recipe by telling you exactly how much chemical, how much water and how much surfactant to add to get the desired soft wash recipe.
It doesn't stop there!.
- It can also remix your leftover softwash to a new stronger or weaker recipe.
- all controls in one place for see at a glance operation
- ease of input via pre-loaded dials. no more calculator style typing
- instantly responds to changes of complex combinations
- works in both Litres and US Gallons
- tested for Protan and Deutan colourblind users
- links to SoftwashingUK website

Take this scenario
You started with a 1% soft wash recipe of 50 gal (or litres)  for a deck clean and you’re left with 13 gallons.

You get a call from a prospective customer to clean their roof. Past experience tells you a 4% soft wash recipe is needed, but what about your leftover mix at 1%?.

Do you waste time and effort driving back to base to transfer into a standby tank?
You could consider the 13 gal as just water, top up the tank and start again.  
But that’s throwing away the value of the mix and raising your overhead.

Soft Wash Calculator App to the rescue.

You get to the new job and it requires 100 gal / litres.
Switch into remix mode , confirming the 13 gal already in the tank
Move the dials to your new recipe and the app immediately updates the different amounts to add in front of your eyes including the correct amount of extra surfactant.

You now have a 100 gal / litres tank of 4% soft wash recipe ready for your roof clean job!

Not forgetting you’ve saved money too, all without stress and uncertainty . Don’t underestimate what confident calmness has on your customer putting out referrals.

The same applies if you have a 4% recipe left in your tank and you need to dilute it down to 2%. Again the app will tell you how.

Softwashing calculator will also work for any chemical recipe. For instance you can use it for Sodium Hypochlorite, Bleach, Biocide , TFR traffic film remover and degreaser. Even the mathematically-challenged rocket scientist can top up their booster tanks to new fuel mixes after launch delays caused by changing weather conditions.

Using this app you will know exactly what chemical strength to put on any surface giving you the confidence and the knowledge of a professional soft washer and you’ll save money as well.

So if you have little knowledge of how to mix a soft wash recipe then this app is for you.
If you have little knowledge of how to remix a soft wash recipe then this app is for you.
If you want to save money when mixing a soft wash recipe then this app is for you.

This app is also backward compatible to devices running iOS7. We've done this so you can re-purpose an old iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 5  for what could be hazardous work environments. Just toss one in your cleaning van's toolkit.

Once you learn the methods and procedures of how to apply the soft wash to the different surfaces that need cleaning you’ll be unstoppable!

The app also has  a guide to what percentage for what surface. And if you are the lucky owner of a Clever Injector it will remind you the correct setting for the job.
However you should always consider and risk assess what soft wash recipe you need to clean the surface.

** A major iOS code-base change may require a re-purchase. The appiverse at the time will confirm our promise that we won't do so unless the necessity is apparent.
