Church Steeple

Before and After of a Church Steeple I did this week

Wow looking good.

Must have used a manlift on that???

Actually did it with my softwash rig from the roof, no lift needed! It was a fiberglass steeple, so stains were mainly mildew and lichen. Came right off with 7% chlorine and my special sauce ;-)

I can shoot about 30' vertical if the wind is calm.

Looks Great, I just cleaned one. Wind blowing like crazy, 55' spider lift streched to the max and me scared to death. Did your steeple have lot's of oxidation coming off as you cleaned? The one I did was fiberglass. White water everywhere.

Not looking for exact formula or ratios but....
what else do you use to clean fiberglass like that other than bleach in the "sauce". Just trying to learn and storing all this great info away.

Yes, tons of white water, spent more time rinsing the roof then I did washing the steeple!

Just a couple of over the counter detergents (joy & cheap laundry soap) to act as surfactants for this job.

Cool you could reach it from the roof!!

Yea know what you mean about more time rinsing then washing, you'll have that.
