Mixed in Amine Oxide with hypo today and it worked great.

Clung on verticals excellently, rid blackspots fast, spreads around great which means more coverage and the main factor no vapours to get a bad chest.

Can't wait to try on a roof.

Whats amine oxide? 

is it like a thickener? Does it help with the cleaning? How does it cling to the walls?

It's a surfactant mate. Lauryldimethylamine oxide its full name.

It does thicken it but you don't lose the strength.

You can buy thick bleach which is about 6% I think. With this you can create a stronger mix for tougher stains.

I find it good on black spots as you're gaining more coverage from its foaming where as just hypo and water you'll either use much more or not spread it as good. This is based on spreading around by brush.

For roofs I'll spray it on.
