Moss removal before softwash
« on: October 15, 2017, 07:20:04 am »
Is any softwash people spraying the roof and letting nature remove the larger clumps rather than scraping first

The problem with that is regrowth.
 If the moss ball is not completely saturated there is a chance it will grow. Also on roofs that are covered in Moss it will block gutters and make a mess on the floor as it falls off.

Just cleaned a gutter today, I was told roofers had done a "chemical clean" before the summer. Front West facing has moss all along the bottom of the tiles and clumps here and there with some green growth visible. Side North West facing has less moss but still loads and algae is visible. The North East facing rear has moss and algae growing with clumps of semi dead moss stuck to the tiles.
Two or three of them could have removed the moss in two hours (including two tea breaks) and then applied the chems. Instead it looks crap and needs more chems to kill off the remaining moss and algae.

Softwashing has its merits but it is not the answer to clean all surfaces we come across .
If my customer wants this roof cleaned today then that is what we provide  . Instant result and a better clean
