I am trying to get the mold of my roof after about 14 years of installation.
I have used bleach, I have used magic wands "grease eater" with the hydroforce and t.m. Still looks black, was light brown when new.
Gets a little lighter each time, but still looks bad.

Whats is your suggestion. Have any of you cleaned your roof recently?

I have no experience with them, but have you tried any products sold for removing mold/stais from roofs??

also, do over hanging trees block sun light from that section of roof?

if so, it will be a recurring issue.

i did a quick google search on "roof mold removal" and found some info.
Maybe you'll find it useful

..L.T.A.

I cleaned my roof this summer its a brown roof (was then black in areas) aprox 17 years old. I pre sprayed it with purple power from advance auto (out of a pump sprayer) let dwell and agitated with a push broom then just pressure washed from the top down very slowly and it came out great.

A friend who has a roof cleaning business uses a diluted bleach solution (1 to 10) with detergent and surfactant added. Low pressure spray application. Dwell time. Rinse.

Be sure to protect plants from effects of bleach.

Bleach and a high alkaline prespray. Pressure wash between 1200 to 2000 psi depending on tolerance of roof. TECHNIQUE IS CRITICAL. Easy to damage. Simply spraying on and rinsing off rarely provides good results. Good luck, be careful. I almost died on a metal roof once. A safety line would be a good idea. Roof pitch can be deceiving from the ground.
