i used to be a gain/dish soap guy...but same would happen to me, works good on siding and flat work, but on roofs would just run off like pure water. I would even go as far as adding close to half a gallon if not more and it would work some what better but still more run off than I liked.
Then the next day I would have to amp the bleach up because average dish soap deterates the mix. There were even times I could see it not working as well at the end of the day and would have to boost it a lil bit to perform as it was earlier in the day.
then I bought a gallon of roof snot to try, and after the first use I was sold!! Clings like crazy and foams twice as good for siding and flat work, as well as takes less product to achieve the results. I instantly came home and ordered 2 5ers.
I make 200 gallons of mix everyday, and unlike before I never have to boost the product because snot doesnot deterate my mix. Works just as good 2-3 days later.
Before i I would go to several stores and straight buy them out of the soap I liked, sometimes making 3 trips a week, now I make an order when I get down to about 2-3 gallons. At my door step in 3 days, just the time and effort I save from running around after work to restock the truck is well worth it.
So for all that have not tried it, order a gallon or quart to try...you will never by dish soap or another foaming additive again
