Roof Cleaning Mixture

One is the guy on the roof spraying cleaning the roof and the other ones job is to spray everything and anything that could get over sprayed with the roof cleaner.

Roof cleaning mixture.

But once in a while it just gets way to hot. I won t reveal my mix ratio but it certainly does not have to be flooded. No matter what method used. Mix the hot water bleach and detergent in the bucket until the soap granules dissolve.

After spraying the roof with the mixture allow it to sit on the surface for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing thoroughly with clean water. The average garden hose puts about 40 80 psi which is all that you need to properly and effectively clean your roof. And proper rinsing is without a doubt of utmost importance. On a standard shingle roof here i can do a 2000 sq ft house with 50 gallons of mix easy.

Clean shingles on a cool humid overcast day to ensure that the cleaner doesn t dry too fast on the roof. 3000 psi is overkill and an unacceptable cleaning method for your roofing system whether it is an asphalt roof tile roof cedar roof or even a metal roof. Folks do not realize that one gallon of chlorine not bleach will kill bacteria in 10 000 gallons of water. If it s something like scratch tile then it will take like 100 gallons for me.

Barrel tiles tend to take more mix also because everything rolls off the tops of the tiles and channels itself in the valleys of the tiles. The secret to roof cleaning is the proper mixture of chemicals. Pour the mixture into the garden sprayer. Ignore your landscape and surrounding areas which can be harmed by the bleach solution.

So you would wet down all plants and then rinse them again once you re done cleaning the roof.
