tile roofs

[alvaro]

Hi everyone,
How do you guys clean tile roofs? What are the steps to take and what should I be careful about? (Details, please)

 

[Tim Smith]

I've only done a couple.

I mix in a 5 gal bucket: two gallons of chlorine, cup of soap, & 1-2 ounces of TSP, fill rest of bucket with water.

Spay on roof, let set for 15-20 minutes and go to town. I spot spay the heavy (bad) spots and then spray entire roof with xjet.


Its like walking on ice, once its wet.


Wet down all surrounding vegetation-very good and expecially aroung the downspouts.

Tim, please apologise, mi English’s not to god.

two gallons of chlorine

Chlorine it’s what you use in pools, isn’t?

1-2 ounces of TSP

What’s TSP?
Do you also rinse roof with xjet?

 

[Tim Smith]

Yes, Chlorine is what you use in pools - be careful, it can harm you and vegetation if not use properly.

You can get Chlorine and TSP at Lowes, Home Depot, Wal Mart.

Its hard to rinse with the xjet - depends on the mold build-up.
