Every home is prone to mold, mildew, slime, lichen, moss, or algae invasion and these organisms are harmful not only to our health but also to our property. Mold spores can fly quickly to your roofing, and when they find favorable conditions, they thrive in it. In the long run, your roofing will fade and probably start leaking. This will cause massive destruction to your property and the structure itself. For this reason, we suggest that you should altogether remove all mold from your roofing using the following strategies. 

Getting rid of mold

  • Mix water and bleach in the ratio of 1:1, let it sit for one hour, then rinse it. However, you can use Oxygen bleach cleaners: to use against mold in your roofing, especially if you care too much about your garden. Water runoff from harmful chemicals can pollute your environment; for this very reason, we recommend using Oxygen bleach cleaners other than laundry bleach. 
  • If you need to improve the mound removal power of your water/bleach solution, then we suggest adding trisodium phosphate to it. The measurement should be ½ cup per gallon of water/bleach solution we prepared.  
  • When it comes to spraying the mold-infested roof, we recommend using a hose with a wand or nozzle because water pressure can easily break your roof, and you’ll have to deal with roof replacement which might be too costly. When you do it right, your roof will be free from mold. 
  • However, it would help if you understood what causes mold in your roofing which in most cases is always organic matter on the roof as that forms part of their food. Eliminating these organic matters from your roof helps ensure mold cannot grow or spread.
