Just got a house with an incredible amount of moss. Spot up to three inches thick. Im having the roof inspected and any repairs done prior to cleaning by a roofer i work with. And this was my biggest concern. Ill be rinsing but not before the solution loses its chemical effectiveness. This way im safe the roof is ensured to be in washable condition and its bright and clean when completed. You just confirmed my process and i thank thee!

The ARMA does recommend rinses the SH off the roof. Most contractors don’t rinse though. Remember too it’s the salt that’s left behind after the evaporation process that can do harm, drying the vegetation out. If you get a light rain it can cause some issues. Thanks again for the great videos!

I think the ARMA recommends rinsing the roof because so many people have videos up where they are using Dawn, Gain or other detergents when they spray their roofs. Detergents like that break down petroleum products and asphalt is a petroleum product. Many people seem to think bleach will damage an asphalt roof and make it brittle, which has been proven to be false. I think what it causing this myth is untrained (and so called) professionals using Dawn or Gain or other degreasing agent that breaks down the asphalt making it brittle, so I think the ARMA added that as a safety measure to cover their butt. AC Lockyer with SoftWash Systems in Florida has companies that have cleaned in excess of 140,000 roofs and as a general rule, almost never rinses a roof and he has had no issues, so I'd say that is a pretty good test to prove rinsing is not required when you are not using faulty products to begin with. On roofs like this AC would probably rinse the lower half of the roof that didn't have gutters, and tell the home owner to water the plants around the house for 15-20 minutes a day for 1-2 weeks. That's OCD overkill, but when you have cleaned as many roofs as his company, it's a good rule to protect the company for those oddball issues, but seldom really required.

Agreed! The problem is so many people who are selling their homes wait until the last minute and want the roof 100% clean instantly, which means those are usually the customers with a lot of moss and lichen that take much longer to come off. They are also the ones that end up paying more money to have me come out for an emergency service instead of waiting in queue. Ill-prepared impatient people always pay more! Unfortunately they are also the ones that do not care about taking good care of their roof so they hire the lowest bid, which sometimes comes with dead plants around the house from companies with lower standards. :-/

@@AllAboutPressureWashing I washed the house of my first paying customer the second time and a guy asked me what I charged. This house was ~$400. Three doors down a guy paid $140 to a guy to pressure wash his house. Pretty much every plant within 10 feet of the house was dead. I can guarantee there was no rinsing before or after, and his mix was far too hot. It was a simple single story house so I'd have charged less than $400, but how much did that guy have to pay for new plants, and how much backbreaking work did he have to do to get new plants in the ground, rooted, and self sustaining without daily watering? It's idiots like that which keep the good ones in business. I wish I'd thought to take photos of that work to add to my "Don't make this mistake" portfolio.

LOL...I posted on a different video you uploaded saying I preferred the 5.5 GPM over the 7.5 GPM pump because it gave me more control of runoff and overall it allowed me to work faster, so it was cool to see that same information on your newer post. I'd only stress to the helper to focus on not walking backwards on the roof. Several times he barely missed stepping on the hose or walking into the raised section of roof over the doorway which could have caused him to fall. Besides that, he did a good job. I'd mention not wearing a body harness, but I don't really wear one either so what room do I have to complain? I know I should... Dilution is the solution to pollution is used by many people. My wife uses that when our daughter eats too much junk food and tells her to drink a lot of water to dilute and flush out all the excess sugar and such. :0) I've used that for the past 9 years and I think I learned it from AC Lockyer in his training classes or on his forums. Great phrase that works in many instances. I'm more OCD detail oriented about managing runoff on roofs like this with no gutters (or partial gutters), but with the amount of runoff you had, I'd worry about killing plants and having issues, but if you're having that much runoff and not having issues, maybe I just need to ease up on some of my OCD and just work faster and not worry as much about the runoff. My SH mix is equal to or less than what you use because I use SoftWash Systems Green Wash which has a bleach catalyst which allows me to use a lower SH concentration and still get the same results, so I just need to get over myself and worry less maybe. On a roof like that I'd probably spray about 4 feet up for rinsing so a heavy dew or light rain wouldn't push salt over the side onto the plants. I also made my own PVC gutter cane and I'll run it on high flow while setting up so the path of the SH coming from the gutters is saturated with water, and when I'm ready to spray and my assistant is ready to start rinsing, I dial back the gutter cane to a trickle and it spreads any runoff over a much larger area. I mainly use it when there may be plants near the downspouts, but otherwise I don't because I have an excellent assistant. I've only had plant damages once and that was my back up assistant. I asked him to rinse a garage roof after we cleaned it (no gutters), and he got sidetracked when his wife called and he didn't rinse, and the dew that night reactivated the bleach/salt and put a thin dead line of brown in the plants below, but the plants were healthy and green on both sides. Ultimately it was my fault for not going back and double checking, but that scarred my perfect record.

SoftWash Systems has a plant wash that is a mixture of water soluble nitrogen heavy fertilizer mixed with a very strong SH neutralizer. Typically the plants look better 1-2 weeks after I finish the roof cleaning than they did before I was there. It's a great way to ensure plants strive if you have worries about SH damage.

Personally, now that I know more about plants than before, I think I'd have added in some water soluble iron into the dry mix, if it's possible. That would give a nice darker green to the treated plants. My soil doesn't accept iron from fertilizers, so I opted to use a spray on foliar application this year and my lawn is much darker green.

Sorry if this was already discussed, but what is your opinion on JoeMax, mixed as directed. I’ve used it and was recommended it by others.

Most of the time, rinsing is an aesthetic act to please your customer. They pay you to make their roof look nice and if you don't rinse, it doesn't when you leave. Add to that that you can't always count on rain when you want it. I do not disagree with you but some customers might. If they insist on rinsing, Ka-ching, charge more for it.
