Has anyone ever cleaned a vinyl roof. It is not a rubber roof. It is white vinyl. Our local 84 lumber is a dome type roof and is vinyl. Any thoughts. I did a large nursing home last year and there were small areas around the air conditioning units that were this same material and they came clean. Just don't want to harm the vinyl.

They clean right up with a weak shingle strength mix, some surfactant and plenty of alcohol!

Yes, I said Rubbing Alcohol ! You use Alcohol to clean vinyl phonograph records

Also make stunning before and after pics!

I have used sodium percarbonate on a Duro last roof on a hospital and it came out looking like new. I think they come clean pretty easily.

I worked for a roofing company that sold a ton on pvc membrane roofing, white in color and now I see a green slime starting to grow on them, I can't wait to start signing them up for a cleaning. A light mix should work just fine on the pvc roofs.

One of the major products of chlorine chemistry is polyvinyl
chloride, known as PVC or vinyl. Invented in the United States in
the early 1920s, it was first used for
insulated wire, raincoats and shower
curtains. As vinyl’s versatility and
flame-resistant properties became
more widely known, dozens of new,
innovative uses were developed and
manufacturing plants established.
Today, vinyl is the second largest
selling plastic in the world.
Vinyl products – such as wire and
cable, siding, windows and doors –
are a staple of the construction
industry because they are easy to
maintain, long lasting, attractive
and economical. In fact, vinyl is the material of choice for
European window frames because of low maintenance. In North
America, vinyl is the material of choice for siding, decking, railings
and house trim because it neither rots nor requires painting. Vinyl
piping transports water to thousands of homes and industries
because it is resistant to corrosion, microbial growth and leakage.

Kim, I had no idea that PVC is a product of chlorine chemistry. You're always such a wealth of knowledge! I saved your chlorine pdf. I might use it as a source to quote what the World Health Organization says about chlorine's health benefits.

What are phonograph records?

They are what Elvis Pressley used to record on. Records, like in a juke bok

We used to refer to records as "vinyls". Gosh, vinyl records seem ancient. Does that make me ancient? My teenagers sure think I am.

Your welcome Dave, I have many research articles, some I have put on the forum and the rest are in reserve for future references.
There is many things manufactured by chlorine products, more than many realize. It is a great website to learn all about SH and gives the edge when discussing with clients, you know SH and that shows responsibility in using it.
