Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 Report post Posted October 30, 2017 The roof cleaning chemicals will still clean in colder weather, just not as fast. The colder the temperature, the longer it will take for the roof to come clean. The Sun effects the cleaning solution too, so a sunny cold day, is better then a cold, cloudy day. 1 Roof Cleaning Jacksonville FL 904-304-0810 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome! The biggest mistake many make when it is cold outside, is not waiting long enough for the mix to clean. I discovered this 27 years ago, it was a 38 degree morning here in Tampa, and I had a large grey shingle roof that "refused" to clean. I ran myself out of chemical, drove to get more, and when I returned an hour and a half later, the roof was clean! LOL, I thought someone was playing a joke, and cleaned the roof for me, until I figured out what was going wrong. Back then, there was no roof cleaning forum, and no one to ask questions of. I had to figure out this stuff for myself. 1 1 Ultimate Roof Cleaning & Pressure Washing and Roof Cleaning Jacksonville FL 904-304-0810 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 Report post Posted November 2, 2017 It is amazing how much the Sunlight effects the cleaning mix. On a cold day, you can really see this. The roof cleaning chemicals will always clean faster on a cold sunny day, vs a cold cloudy/overcast day. 1 Roof Cleaning Jacksonville FL 904-304-0810 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roof Cleaning Jacksonville FL 904-304-0810 Report post Posted November 4, 2017 Knowing that we are oxidizing the algae, I can see how the sun plays a big role. I think we all notice. I know if we can get a quick flash off reaction with heat and sunlight, and just enough mix to damp the area but dry quickly, the algae will disappear super fast. If there are shadows and cool weather, this process takes a while. The sun is an oxidizer too and a heater that evaporates the solution. That quick oxidation and evaporation cleans almost instantly.

He was ok with it Trying to finish one tomorrow that I couldn't get on Friday. Took forever just to do a couple sides because there was zero sun and cool and windy. That one seriously frustrated me! Also it's glazed tile, so not being porous it won't absorb the SH. I'm having to kill layer by layer and it's super dirty. 1 Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apple Roof Cleaning (813) 655-8777 Report post Posted November 27, 2017 For cold weather roof cleaning, some have found it useful to add some of this stuff to the roof cleaning mix, but beware! This stuff will burn your mix up, and make it useless in 2 to 3 hours! 2 to 4 ounces of it, to every 50 gallons of mix, and more is not better. It contains an oxidizer called Potassium Permonosulfate 1 Roof Cleaning Jacksonville FL 904-304-0810 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
