If you use Tide, however, it will pull the oils out of composition shingles and cause the granules to drop. This kills the moss but destroys your roof. You can use bleach, but I reccommend zinc sulphate over bleach anyday because it also prevents future moss from growing for at least a year if applied according to directions. Mix for bleach water is 3 qts (1 bottle) of 6% bleach (Sodium Hypochlorite) to 3.75 gallons of water. This yields 4.5 gallons of water, almost a full five gallon bucket. Wet the roof from the bottom up. (So you don't get drip lines as the bleach water bleaches out mildew stains etc. See what happens when you apply bleach too strong. It ruins the shingles. http://www.bradlewis.com/oregon/por ... s/removal/composite_moss_removal.php Brad :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Roof Moss from Asphalt Roof Tiles Post By Bradly Lewis Home Maintenance (Guest Post) (01/01/2007) You want to use zinc sulphate to kill the moss first. Once it is dead, then you brush it off with a steel bristle brush by hand. After doing about 3 rows of shingles, use a blower to clear the area. This makes it safer so you don't lose traction on the loose moss. You can read more information about roof moss removal at http://www.bradlewis.com. If your roof is steep enough and you don't mind looking at the dead moss for a while, you can let it weather off. It will clog up your gutters possibly. It depends on how big the chunks of moss are though. Best wishes Brad :) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Roof Moss from Asphalt Roof Tiles Post By Michael ancouver B.C.

(Guest Post) (03/20/2005) As an owner of a moss removal company there are many remedies for this some of which i agree and disagree with. My method is zinc sulfate but we first remove the moss first with a brush and then apply the zinc. My mission is to find a product that is safer for the enviroment. Even with minimal coverage of zinc in the long run it is not the best for our future.

I have tried it on the North side of the roof of about 500 sq. ft. using a whole box (7 lbs.) and was not satisfied with the results. Plain Tide white powder (no bleach) works well or zinc strips work the best. Bleach can have reactions with the roofing materials.

I just cannot find what the proportions are. The last I knew it was like 1/2 C. bleach to a gallon of water.

As it can damage them and are very costly to replace and then that poses another problem. As to replace them correctly so you have no leaks. I would use the round up as suggested. Keep an eye on your gutters as the rain run off might carry the moss down your gutters and get stuck in the gutters.

Maynbe it'll dry up and blow away if the sun ever shines. Good Luck Laura in BC Report Spam or Abuse
