I could not IMAGINE not cleaning tile roofs ?

They Pay a LOT more

Yes Chris. Tile roof cleaning DOES pay ALOT more than shingles. One mistake I see some people making is charging the same price for shingles and Tiles.

Below is a recent Houston, TX Tile roof cleaning we did.

This one Paid very well.

Hi Charlie, Bleach is too strong for cedar. Sodium precarbonate and oxalic acid are the key. Mike Sullivan has written alot about this somewere on the thread. Just search for his Cedar roof info.

BINGO Again Bill!

Sodium Hypochlorite will turn a CEDAR ROOF black in a heartbeat.

The roof cleaning chemicals you specify ARE the CORRECT methods from my experience with SAFELY Cleaning WOOD SHINGLES, especially CEDAR.

Also, be careful not to BLEACH the Wood Roof by leaving it on too long.

Much more can be found on this topic on other boards like our friends at the GRIME SCENE in their CEDAR and WOOD Cleaning Threads and also on PWI (the Pressure Washers Institute)

(LOADED) Question:

What OTHER ways can a Wood roof or other wood surfaces be cleaned SAFELY?

BTW,
This THREAD SHOULD be continued on the WOOD and METAL ROOF section of the board if possible, for the search engine's sake?

Ok anyone not familiar needs to realize that when these guys say sodium percarbonate and oxalic, they are referring to a two step process, NOT MIXED TOGETHER. Percarbonate first and then oxalic to neutralize.
