Cleaning The Roof With Oxygen Based Cleaning Products
 |
Finding your roof dirty and discolored? Does it contain some moths, lichens and many other kinds of fungus that is still continuously destroying your roof? Blue algae that is commonly known as fungus, found on sloppy roofs that are not exposed to sun. Do you want to replace it? Just wait. You can do something else. You can timely clean your roof before it destroys your roof any further.
Sodium hydroxide is the chemical that is most often used for the removal of strong streaks and preventing the growth of moss and lichens. This method of roof cleaning is not very effective, instead very harmful for the planet as these release harmful fumes when inhaled by plants, animals and human, lead to death.
While power washers can make it easier to clean inaccessible and/or pitched areas on roofs or decks care must be taken when using them. The high pressure often erodes the roofing materials like shingles and decks. Pressure washers tend to over dilute the cleaning solution during use.
The only solution to free the roofs from microbial growth without harming the environment is to use the oxygen based bleaching products.
Sodium per carbonate and hydrogen peroxide bonded with natural soda ash forms the basic constituents of this product. Water brings the cleanser into action and thus, releases oxygen and removes stains.
Oxygen bleach is color safe, fabric safe, user safe, environmentally safe, and it is an excellent deodorizer. It attacks and breaks down organic stains to totally remove them from the surface. Moreover, it is non-toxic, performs in hard or soft water, and produces no harmful by-products upon decomposition.
One can maintain the roofs with the oxygen bleach by the following steps. To start with, clear away all the dirt and grin from the area. Dampen it with water. Prepare the cleansing solution by mixing 8 ounce of the oxygen bleach per gallon hot water. Allow 5 minutes for cleaner to dissolve and become “cleaning active”. Apply solution with a mop or roller. A pump sprayer or a positive displacement applicator is good for applying solution.
Also, scrub the affected area using a hard bristled brush. This will take out the stains more properly. Let the solution sit on the roof surface for at least half an hour. At last, rinse the surface with water. Oxygen cleaning products not only remove the mildew, moth and fungus, but also prevent them to grow any further.
