I have an outside shed that has one side covered with moss. Any suggestions about removing the moss without damaging the shingles?

Here's a tip I've submitted: (I don't think it's been posted on ThriftyFun yet)

Remove moss and algae without scrubbing: This product is amazing! You spray it anywhere you want to remove algae & moss, or to stop it from to growing. Just put it into a garden sprayer & spray it on once a year, then every time it rains, it binds with the rain & starts working. It's amazing stuff with no scrubbing required! It's called "Spray & Forget". You can buy it at Home Depot. I use it on my mobile home, my garage siding & on our camper. I used to have quite the moss & algae problem. but no more! It also removes mildew, fungus, and lichen stains from roofs, siding, decks, brick, stucco, and other exterior surfaces with no scrubbing required!

  • Request: Removing Moss From Roof (05/11/2009)
    The problem I have, is that the roof I've got is huge. I bit off more than I can chew in buying this property, and it's getting quite a lot of moss growth. I know I must remove and prevent.

Request: Removing Moss From Roof

Archived on 05/11/2009

I know that using bleach to kill, and zinc to prevent is OK. The problem I have, is that the roof I've got is huge. I bit off more than I can chew in buying this property, and it's getting quite a lot of moss growth. I know I must remove and prevent.

The problem is that I do not know what jet system to use to mix the bleach and water. Also, I can only do this from a ladder.

The zinc will have to wait.

Thanks in advance.

Mike

RE: Removing Moss From Roof

I have the same problem with my roof, so I contacted the manufacturer of my roofing shingles and they recommended a product called "Shingle Shield". I read that bleach can damage your roof, so even though it may be initially cheaper to treat, in the end if you have to replace your roof, it will be much more costly.

You can check out "Shingle Shield" at http://www.rainhandler.com. They also have a question and answer section that may be very helpful to you regarding application, equipment necessary, prevention, etc. The phone number is 1-800-942-3004 (06/10/2005)

I have used the same company for over 20 years, and there is nothing they can't fix. Totally trust worthy and reliable, prompt and professional. Apex Edinburgh 01314787175 (10/02/2008)
