Q: Can I paint, stain or seal a surface after using Spray & Forget on it? If so, how long do I have to wait
before painting/staining the surface? Do I need to rinse the surface first?
A: Yes, you can paint/stain surfaces after applying Spray & Forget on them. If you are in a hurry, simply pressure
wash the surface after applying the Spray & Forget to get it clean. There will be a small residual of Spray &
Forget left behind that will continue to remove and prevent any stains caused by biological growth that can not be
seen by the naked eye. You can then paint/stain/seal the surface after it dries. With that said, you do not have to
pressure wash or rinse the surface. You can wait until the stains are removed with subsequent rainfall over time
and then paint/stain/seal the surface when it is clean.
Q: How long will Spray & Forget last?
A: This is one of the unique advantages of Spray & Forget. Spray & Forget has a residual effect and actually
adheres to the applied surface. In addition, Spray & Forget, unlike other cleaning methods such as pressure
washing, will continue to clean long after the stains can not be seen by the naked eye. That means that the stains
will be completely removed. For these reasons, we guarantee that roof stains will not reappear for at least two
years and that stains on all other surfaces will remain clean for at least 12 months. Try getting that kind of result
from pressure washing!
Q: How often should Spray & Forget be applied? Can it be used as a preventative?
A: Spray & Forget is an excellent preventative! After the initial cleaning, use a mixture of 9 gallons of water to 1
gallon of Spray & Forget every 24-36 months on roofs and every 12-18 months on all other exterior surfaces. This
will keep the stains from returning!
Q: What should I use to apply Spray & Forget my first time?
A: Use a garden pump sprayer from your local hardware store to apply Spray & Forget unless you cannot get to
the surface using this type of device. In that case, you can purchase our super concentrated product that has a
built in hose end sprayer that shoots up to 20 Feet or our empty custom hose end sprayer that also shoots up to 20
Feet can be used with our other products. You cannot use any other hose end sprayer as they will not provide the
correct mix ratios for use with Spray & Forget. Contact us if neither device will work for your given application.
For roofs, always apply from the gutter edge to the rooftop as the surface will become slippery. If rinsing the roof,
rinse from the rooftop to the gutter edge. Some pressure is required for rinsing (~100-500 PS)I. DO NOT USE
HIGH PRESSURE!
Q: Can you use an Ortho Hose End Sprayer or similar like the one at my local hardware store or garden
center to apply Spray & Forget?
A: Unfortunately, you cannot use the hose end sprayer from your local hardware store. Those sprayers were not
designed for Spray & Forget and do not draw at the right mix ratios for our product. They simply will not work.
We recommend using a garden pump sprayer or our custom designed hose end sprayer with dial in mix ratios.
Q: Can I use your empty Hose End Sprayer (SF Sprayer) for other cleaning and/or insecticide products?
A: Sure! Our sprayer can be used with most other products since the mix ratio can be varied. However, always
make sure to rinse the sprayer thoroughly before any application and consult with the chemical manufacturer of
the product to be used before applying. Some pre dilution with water may be needed before using other chemical
products. Consult the product manufacturer for instructions.
Q: Will Spray & Forget work on rust stains?
A: Unfortunately, Spray & Forget will not work on rust stains. You might try a product called wood bleach that
contains Oxalic Acid and a small brush. Always consult with you local hardware store first and test on a small
area.
Q: Will Spray & Forget work on cedar shake, tile, metal and rubber RV roofs?
A: Yes! Spray & Forget will work on all of these surfaces. Spray & Forget does not contain any harmful
bleaching agents like chlorine or bleach and is not caustic like Sodium Hydroxide. However, you should always
