I was looking for a way to safely clean the metal roof of my house.
Oxygen bleach painted metal roof.

The chalky oxidation can be washed off leaving a clean but dull and unprotected metal roof.
I tried walmart bleach since it was.
Then everbrite clear protective coating is applied to restore and protect the metal.
You can also use oil based alkyd paint but.
This releases the byproducts of oxygen water and soda ash that are non toxic and biodegradable.
The oxygen breaks down organic stains taking your roof back to its original color.
Do this at your own risk.
What bleach does to your roof.
Chemically oxi clean is sodium percarbonate hydrogen peroxide bonded with natural soda ash gets activated by contact with water.
Everbrite will bring out the color and luster of the metal roof.
Follow this by spraying another coat of the oxy bleach onto the darker stains.
Apply one coating of oxygen bleach to the darkest stained areas first then coat the entire shingled surface with the spray.
Spray a generous coating of the oxygen bleach mixture onto the roof immediately.
Wet down the roof with plain water from the garden hose.
When applying the spray to the shingles spray the bleach and water mixture so that it flows down the roof rather than up.
The reason you shouldn t use bleach to remove moss from your roof has to do with the composition of your shingles.
Your shingles are made of a fiberglass mat that is covered with protective oils tar and asphalt.
It is this very oil tar and asphalt which protect your shingles from the elements.
Roof cleaning powered by oxygen release from sodium percarbonate solid hydrogen peroxide often called oxygen bleach although it contains no bleach water activated roof wash ox is hydrogen peroxide based oxygen roof mold and algae cleaner that cleans using the power of oxygen for roof mold stain removal.
I was worried about bleach harming the rubber washers on the screws that hold the roof on.
Ox roof cleaners are color safe user safe environmentally safe and an excellent deodorizer to let your roof be clean and algae free.
Painted metal roofs come with a baked on factory finish and you can re coat these as well as paint bare metal roofing with acrylic latex paint.
