Just got a house with an incredible amount of moss. Spot up to three inches thick. Im having the roof inspected and any repairs done prior to cleaning by a roofer i work with. And this was my biggest concern. Ill be rinsing but not before the solution loses its chemical effectiveness. This way im safe the roof is ensured to be in washable condition and its bright and clean when completed. You just confirmed my process and i thank thee!
I’m impressed with the before and after. I heard past discussions of having the shingle grit removed from using too much force. This is proof of how to do it right (the first time).
Thank you so much for your content. I’m here in the south as well and it’s good to pick up tips from someone with the same climate and issues in roofs.
+Eric Thomas Bland thanks ETB, I’ve watched some of your stuff, Scott Jarrard told me about you, good stuff. I have Cameo Silhouette and love playing around with vinyl- I do all my own stuff for trucks and signs.
wanna say thank you for all the free knowledge you've put out here! I designed a softwash system with proportioner from your guidance and always click on the videos yall post when im researching something. Thanks again from beachside pressure washing!
@@AllAboutPressureWashing @ScottCleansIt mentioned you in a video regarding this very subject, so here I am now. I just bought a bunch of very good pressure washing and soft wash equipment, but looking at what’s all involved in doing roofs, I feel like maybe returning all of that stuff before I start, or just staying away from roofs unless there’s no vegetation around the bottom, as I would like to stay a single guy on the job for a while. LOL!
The ARMA does recommend rinses the SH off the roof. Most contractors don’t rinse though. Remember too it’s the salt that’s left behind after the evaporation process that can do harm, drying the vegetation out. If you get a light rain it can cause some issues. Thanks again for the great videos!
I think the ARMA recommends rinsing the roof because so many people have videos up where they are using Dawn, Gain or other detergents when they spray their roofs. Detergents like that break down petroleum products and asphalt is a petroleum product. Many people seem to think bleach will damage an asphalt roof and make it brittle, which has been proven to be false. I think what it causing this myth is untrained (and so called) professionals using Dawn or Gain or other degreasing agent that breaks down the asphalt making it brittle, so I think the ARMA added that as a safety measure to cover their butt. AC Lockyer with SoftWash Systems in Florida has companies that have cleaned in excess of 140,000 roofs and as a general rule, almost never rinses a roof and he has had no issues, so I'd say that is a pretty good test to prove rinsing is not required when you are not using faulty products to begin with. On roofs like this AC would probably rinse the lower half of the roof that didn't have gutters, and tell the home owner to water the plants around the house for 15-20 minutes a day for 1-2 weeks. That's OCD overkill, but when you have cleaned as many roofs as his company, it's a good rule to protect the company for those oddball issues, but seldom really required.
Thanks for that info. I have question, if I'm washing a house or building that has windows on the upper floors and after I apply my solution to the building I rinse the over spray off of the windows but the runoff from rinsing the windows also rinses my solution from the building not allowing the proper dwell time in that area. What's the best technique for handling that? Thanks.
+Mr. Smith great question. The way we typically work when it is not a super hot and sunny day, we apply our house wash mix to the entire building starting on one side, working our way around the entire structure back to where we started. Then we begin rinsing, I’d rather have the chem do its job and rinse the windows a little longer
Also, you'll see the stains dissolve away, and once you do, it is safe to rinse. I use a product/surfactant designed to washing roofs and houses and it contains a rinse aid, so rinsing the windows even after the mixture dries on them is a breeze. I recently did a house that probably had the thickest algae growth I've seen and it took 4 coats to get it clean, plus some agitation with a soft brush...almost unheard of. Usually I am able to get everything with a single application, and maybe a single follow up. Anyway, here is a video of mine I recorded while cleaning my friends house for free on the side a few years ago. I'm allergic to cats and they have 3 indoor cats so I didn't visit often, but when I saw how bad his house looked, I made it a priority. Watch the heavy algae by the 2nd story window and do not take your eyes off that spot, and since this is a time-lapse video, you'll see the algae die and break down before your eyes, and the surfactant lifts it away from the siding for very easy rinsing. If I was in the same area as All About Pressure Washing, I'd not post the link, but since we're too far apart to compete against each other, hopefully he won't mind the link. If he wants, I'll remove the link. ua-cam.com/video/M6rzHdaagvc/v-deo.html - I could have sprayed all the way around the house and had my assistant follow up 5-10 minutes later following and rinsing, but since I was working for free, I did it all myself. Rinsing is where an 8 gallon per minute pressure washer is great for a fast high volume, low pressure rinse! You don't really use any pressure on vinyl.
Totally different ballgame over here in the Uk. We deal in 90% stone tile roofs and we have to wash down. We even use turbo nozzles to break up the heavy moss!
Thanks, guess I am rinsing mine looks pretty bad. I have a swimming pool, pool shock is 10 percent when Chlorox is 8 percent. Shock is cheaper now. You said you ran it at 5 percent strength. I'll give it a try, thanks. 😊
Agreed! The problem is so many people who are selling their homes wait until the last minute and want the roof 100% clean instantly, which means those are usually the customers with a lot of moss and lichen that take much longer to come off. They are also the ones that end up paying more money to have me come out for an emergency service instead of waiting in queue. Ill-prepared impatient people always pay more! Unfortunately they are also the ones that do not care about taking good care of their roof so they hire the lowest bid, which sometimes comes with dead plants around the house from companies with lower standards. :-/
@@AllAboutPressureWashing I washed the house of my first paying customer the second time and a guy asked me what I charged. This house was ~$400. Three doors down a guy paid $140 to a guy to pressure wash his house. Pretty much every plant within 10 feet of the house was dead. I can guarantee there was no rinsing before or after, and his mix was far too hot. It was a simple single story house so I'd have charged less than $400, but how much did that guy have to pay for new plants, and how much backbreaking work did he have to do to get new plants in the ground, rooted, and self sustaining without daily watering? It's idiots like that which keep the good ones in business. I wish I'd thought to take photos of that work to add to my "Don't make this mistake" portfolio.
4:44 Can you tell me where did you find the article that explain about this information? I tried to find it but no success. Thanks in advance! Really valuable and well explained content.
I just did my roof and it almost turned black after spraying it, any ideas. Dark grey roof, downstream injector with sh from the feed hose hose to the bottle and a little red surfactant . I was forced to do a high pressure rinse
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Good deal...my first chemical hose was 5/8" ID. It doesn't seem like much difference, but carrying around that extra weight and extra liquid inside that much hose makes a difference at the end of a long, hot day. :0)
Two questions: 1) Can you provide some background and reference on your statement of the mix becoming "NON-TOXIC" after spraying. 2) What about aluminum gutters, lead coated copper, and plane copper flashing; should I be concerned about corrosion?
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Because you're making a bold claim thats in opposition to everything I have learned otherwise about SH toxicity. If you have some evidence to support that statement I'd like to know what it is and its source? #2 is also pretty clear. SH is corrosive to metals, especially copper, so I'm interested to know how you mitigate the risk of rotting gutters and flashing when doing this work?
Love the video and detail completely explaining everything. I'm currently getting ready to buy a trailer and start my own business. Can anyone help me answer one question that I can't seem to get anyone to answer. My question is if I buy a soft wash machine and do house washes with it is the machine also practical for rinsing the house after I apply the s.h and surfactant? Or is it better to use a pressure washer turned down or garden hose.
+Jayson - There are some metals that will be damaged by sodium hypochlorite. I would definitely do your research before tackling any job, especially non-standard building materials
Also if you’d like you could always foam on agent halt on the roof and foam it on the plants and landscaping below then do a light rinse without the fear of killing everything and a ton of soggy grass.
SoftWash Systems has a plant wash that is a mixture of water soluble nitrogen heavy fertilizer mixed with a very strong SH neutralizer. Typically the plants look better 1-2 weeks after I finish the roof cleaning than they did before I was there. It's a great way to ensure plants strive if you have worries about SH damage.
@@AllAboutPressureWashing Yep...sorry, missed this 3 years ago somehow. Personally, now that I know more about plants than before, I think I'd have added in some water soluble iron into the dry mix, if it's possible. That would give a nice darker green to the treated plants. My soil doesn't accept iron from fertilizers, so I opted to use a spray on foliar application this year and my lawn is much darker green.
I plan to treat my roof with a backpack fogger. Would this work. My plan would be 1GAL 12.5% SH to 2GAL H20 + 4 OZ dawn (surfactant). Is the backpack fogger okay to use? thank you!
In my area it doesn’t really rain that much, would you recommend to still not rinse? Would it also smell from the sun hitting the chemicals (sh)? Great video overall! Thank you so much for the info!
+Robert Ratliff the key is to not put too much on the roof And always water during the process, gutters make it a lot easier - just throw a hose down at the Downspouts and let em flow

Hi AC
@@simplycleanpressurewashing758 Exactly. Even the insurance companies tell you that you must rinse the roof.
@Troy-Echo you do understand that leaving SH on a roof turns into salt and salt removes or dries out the oil in the shingles.
Is there any roof type that you would have to rinse? Im in Australia and we have mainly tin and tile roofs here.
