Going green is wonderful. I fully agree that today's world is toxic and we as humans and a society need , no we must change, Our food alone is bad enough. GMO everything.
I have 2 sons with autism, You do not need to tell me how food effects them. I give Matthew Fast food and he is Bouncing off the walls. Natural, organic is something our family strives for. Organic, green or any other phrase is also a huge money maker. This is where it gets interesting.
Why do some roof cleaners advertise that they do not use bleach?
They are falling for the same pitch they were sold. They say things like bleach has fumes, It kills your plants, It dries out your shingle roof.
As a certified roof cleaner I can say that Yes it has fumes, when the liquid hits the roof and the sun evaporates the water, ( we do not use bleach at full strength) and causes vapors to go in the air, It evaporates about 2 feet up from the roof.
Can the bleach kill your plants around the house?
Absolutely. It is a chemical. The algae on the roof is a plant, we want that dead dont we? People do not like to use that word. Chemical. It sounds abrasive. But here is the truth. a chemical is a form of matter that has constant Chemical composition. It can be solid, liquid or gas.
A common example of a chemical substance is pure water; it has the same properties and the same ratio of hydrogen to oxygen.
Did you know that adding water to bleach reduces its strength. You do not pour bleach onto your whites in the laundry, you wait until it goes to the proper cycle and the tub is full of water. Dilution is the solution to pollution!
plus to top it all off The ARMA (Asphalt Roof Manufacturers Association) recommends bleach to clean your roofs. http://www.asphaltroofing.org/algae-discoloration-roofs
The bottom line is that roof cleaning in many areas is competitive, Especially in areas Sanford Florida, Lake Mary, Heathrow and all of Seminole County. Contractors will tell you what you want to hear to get the job.
I use Bleach for my roof washes. I am the one who is Certified by UAMCC.org and by the Roof cleaning institute of America.
Knowledge is power. Do not be fooled by claims of non bleach roof cleaning. Use the links provided and research for yourself what method is best, We go by ARMA and so should you.
