Besides sodium hypochlorite, there are some other roof cleaning chemicals I have wanted to play with more. I have employees on commission who work for me and clean roofs. They resent it when I take their trucks to experiment! But 2 possible roof cleaning chemicals are Calcium Hypochlorite and Lithium Hypochlorite. Calcium Hypochlorite has been tried, and it has the problem of leaving a scale behind that is hard to remove. It is also not very water soluble. But Lithium Hypochlorite is very water soluble, and will not leave a residue I was told. I have always planned to play with it, just never did. SH is cheap here in Tampa, and we are a busy roof cleaning company. Hydrogen Peroxide is another chemical that I once thought would clean roofs. However, Hydrogen Peroxide strong enough to clean with is also a BOMB, and can blow up. It also smells terrible! Anyone interested in this subject of alternative roof cleaning chemicals ? -

What I have gathered is for Painted surfaces, vinyl, aluminum, screen & windows, playgrounds. 1% solution which is for 100 gal use 10 gal SH 64 oz gain- ammonyx Lo 90 water wood deck,light stained shake roof, epoxy deck use 2% solution 20 gal SH 64 oz gain- ammonyx Lo 80 water Med stained shingles, heavy stained wood, heavy stained vinyl 3% Infested roofs, paving, concrete 4% I consider this medium stained or 3% roof. What say ye Does this sound correct? Is there any updated info?

In Kingwood Texas, living in the Livable Forest can be a luxury not many communities have. The beautiful tree's and surrounding forest's that were saved when developing the area, provide for much needed shade, as well helps to persevere the beauty of the area. This shade along with the humidity and rain fall we get make for a beautiful breeding ground for the algae stains that grow on roofs. Often referred to as ugly black stains, or streaks, they can take over a roof in matter of a short time. They not only cause the shingles to deteriorate faster than normal, the roof stains also will prevent the UV protection built in to the asphalt shingles from reflecting the sun back off the roof. These stains must be treated with a chemical application consisting of bleach, water, and a specially made soap. A pressure washer should never be used, even at low pressure, as pressure washing a roof will cause the granules to come loose. The only solution that will actually kill the algae is a bleached based solution. If this is to used then the algae returns in a relatively short period of time. Call or text Clean and Green Solutions at 2818838470 and we will be happy to provide you with a free estimate. Our Kingwood Texas Roof Cleaning service will return your roof back to it's natural color with our Soft Wash Low Pressure service.

Here is a beautiful home that we cleaned the roof and house. This home is located in The Woodlands Texas area near Spring Texas. The Woodlands is beautiful area with lots of trees and Woods. We clean quite a few roofs in this area, because the black algae stains build up and and cause a roof to lose it's natural color under all the ugly black stains. Fortunately, for the homeowner's in The Woodlands, we never use a pressure washer to clean a roof. Pressure Washing a roof, even if it's using low pressure ratings, can and will damage the shingles. Call or Text us at 2818838470 for more information on our cleaning method that will return your roof back to it's natural color the sane day we clean it. No waiting for rain, no pressure washing your roof. It doesn't get any safer than that.

The many benefits of Roof Cleaning start with protecting your investment. A roof left untouched, but growing algae, lichen, and moss is drastically eating away at your investment in your roof, leading to premature wear, degranulization, and eventually a leaking roof. Many homeowner insurance companies are threatening to cancel policies due these types of damage. An infested roof, even if only appearing as black streaking on the surface, can raise your heating/cooling bills substantially. These streaks, as well as other forms of algae or moss hold moisture and retain heat. This causes heat build up in your attic spaces causing your climate systems to run more often. Maintaining your roof saves you from replacement, saving thousands of dollars and protecting the environment by keeping materials out of local landfills. On average a certified roof cleaner can clean your roof for about 10% the cost of replacing your roof. Many roofs that are maintained properly far out live there expected life span given by the manufacturer. Perhaps the biggest benefit in a homeowner's eyes is curb appeal. An ugly,infested roof is an eyesore. Let's face it, nobody wants to own the ugly house in the neighborhood. Now imagine trying to sell that house. If potential buyers don't like the outside of the house, they're not even going to look at the inside. In the buyer's eyes, if the exterior isn't maintained the entire interior is put into question. A home maintained with good curb appeal will sell much faster with fewer issues in the sales process then a home with bad curb appeal. Do yourself and your neighborhood a favor and call Sussex County Roof Cleaning to maintain the exterior of your home. We offer many services to maintain your home including roof cleaning, house washing, deck washing, gutter cleaning, gutter whitening, and skylight cleaning.

Do you wonder who made those black oily streaks and dark stains on your roof? It could be space aliens or maybe from racoons skidding their bottoms across the roof, tar baby tracks, jet fuel (From alien craft), tree sap, acid rain or really black dirt. Believe it or not, it is caused by Gloeocapsa Magma an algae. As this space mutant algae eats and multiplies, the colonies become larger and more dense. The dense area of the algae colonies are evident by the ugly black poop streaks which algae excrete as a protective sheathing that stain the roof. Along with the stain Gloeocapsa Magma eat the limestone filler in the shingle, they turn nitrogen into ammonia which acts as a fertilizer source for moss, algae and lichens causing them to grow and flourish. This air born algae is more prevalent as you travel west of the Cascade mountains. Besides the damage they do by eating the calcium carbonate, limestone layer, they also promote the colonization and growth of other destructive organisms. The effects of the algae are not only unsightly but very costly if not treated. If your roof is infected by algae, space aliens, or other mutant organisms such as Northwest mega mutant moss or lichen, have the best certified roof cleaner (non-pressure spray system) inspect it as soon as possible.

Palm Harbor FL Roof Cleaning
Pinellas Roof Cleaning 727-919-1591 posted a blog entry in Palm Harbor FL Roof Washing
We were out again doing some roof cleaning , this was one of the smaller but dirtiest ones we did today. This was a 1200 sq ft tile roof that was covered in mold and was a white painted surface under all that mildew. This is a rental property in an older section of Palm Harbor FL. We have done quite a few of this customers properties and he was hoping to get the roof looking better than it was, he was not expecting miracles. So we did a softwash on this tile roof and got it looking pretty good considering the original condition. He was thrilled with the job, we also did a paint prep for him so he can get it all painted up for new tenants. Anyone in the Palm Harbor area in need of roof cleaning, please cal 727-919-1591 -

Out washing roofs today in New Port Richey FL. We were in a beautiful gated subdivision called Waters Edge which is mostly high end homes and it is on Moon Lake. This was a referral once again from a neighbor across the street. We do a lot of work in this subdivision and most of the homes are large 2 story homes. This homeowner received a letter from the HOA to get his Tile Roof cleaned. When we showed up he started to tell me that he didn't think the roof really needed to be cleaned. But he said that he didn't want to be harassed by the HOA, so go ahead and clean it. I told him it was plenty dirty and that he will realize it when were done. We also gave him a house wash, because the soffits and trim were all covered in mold & Mildew as well. So as you can see from the pictures the dramatic difference it made when we applied our softwash mix to the roof. It brought all the original color back to the Tile, and also will enhance the life of the roof as well. anyone in the New Port Richey area in need of roof cleaning, please call 727-919-1591 -

We use the industry's only cleaning method approved by the ARMA (American Roofing Manufacturers Association) which are the asphalt shingle manufacturers of North America.

Hey Chris, just wanted to say thanks. Got a call from a Henderson Texas, customer to clean this Decra Stone Coated Tile Roof. He lives about 3 hours from our Houston Texas bas, and had a hard time finding someone that knew how to clean it. He called the Decra Manufacture and they referred him here to RCIA, and he found my listing. Nice thing about this roof was, it was not real dirty. The customer did the right thing by getting it cleaned early before it was totally over taken by the mold and mildew.
