FACT: Shingle Manufacturers are using Roof Shampoo® Contractors to provide warranty roof cleanings for their customers.
Our proprietary Roof Shampoo® rinsing system, along with our Roof Shampoo® eco-friendly stain removing products ensures that we clean ALL the algae, lichens and moss under the edge of every shingle. A spray-on leave-on product, or a system that claims to use no pressure simply does not use an efficient rinse system and cannot COMPLETELY remove the algae, etc.. With the Roof Shampoo® roof cleaning system, there is no waiting, no wondering, and no worrying if the stains will really go away. You will see for yourself that the algae, moss, and/or lichens and their stains are completely gone before your Roof Shampoo® contractor leaves your house.
If our process costs more than just splashing bleach on the roof costs, it is because skilled technicians using the NON-bleach Roof Shampoo® roof cleaning method take the time to actually get on your roof, inspect it, and do the job right using high quality, eco-safe products and state-of-the-art equipment which really clean your roof. Roof Shampoo® contractors are professionals who make sure they clean every square inch of your roof without damaging your shingles or your landscaping. PLUS, our Roof Conditioner™ stain prevention program provides you with the option of a lifetime guarantee against roof stains by participating in the Annual Stain Protection Program.
Bleach Roof 
How will I know if a roof cleaning contractor will be using bleach on my property?
If the Contractor DOES NOT tell you up front that they are NOT using bleach, then they are very likely using bleach. Roof cleaning contractors who use bleach often don’t advertise or tell you that they use bleach because they know homeowners don’t want bleach used around their homes. Even when asked directly, some may still deny that they use bleach. Be insistent about your need to know. Here are some clues: If they tell you that they use no pressure and that they follow the shingle manufacturers (ARMA) recommendations, then they are using bleach.
Many contractors who use bleach will use the term “Soft Wash”. Or, if they tell you they are using sodium hypochlorite — you should know that sodium hypochlorite is the chemical name for bleach. They may even tell you they use SH, which is short for sodium hypochlorite – bleach. Some even mix fragrance in with the bleach to mask the smell so you won’t know it’s bleach.
If you’re still not sure, ask the following question just this way: “How will you protect my plants while cleaning my roof?” Any answer other than “We don’t need to protect your plants because our product does not harm plants,” indicates harmful chemicals are being used. If the answer is something like “We wet down your plants before, during, and after our treatment to protect them,” you should suspect that bleach is being used. Other indicators that bleach is being used is the use of a runoff recovery system which attempts to suck up all the toxic runoff during the treatment into a containment vessel. Also, if you are told that your plants will be covered during the roof cleaning process or sprayed with a plant protectant, that is a clear sign that your plants are in danger!
Many roof cleaning contractors who use bleach will mix up their own homemade formulas. They mix high-strength chlorine bleach with an array of varied chemicals such as phosphates, dish and laundry detergents, assorted surfactants, and odor-masking scents to hide the smell of the main ingredient – BLEACH! These haphazard chemical concoctions call into question product reliability, stability, safety and consistency across the board.
‘Splash and Dash’ Method
Some roof cleaning contractors will spray a chemical on your roof and tell you to wait for weeks or months to see the results. Products which do not require rinsing, but depend on the rain to wash away the roof-attacking organisms are designed so that the contractor does not have to get on a wet roof or use special equipment to rinse the roof. These products often take repeated applications to achieve even marginal results. Some roof cleaning businesses actually use this consumer grade product and charge you professional rates for it. We call them ‘Splash and Dash’ operators.
High Pressure Power Washing Method
Some roof cleaning contractors use high pressure power washing methods to attempt to remove roofs stains. They blast away on your roof blowing the protective granules off as they go. Not only is this method damaging to your shingles, but it’s also not an effective way to remove organisms that cause roof stains. The high pressure power washing method leaves root systems behind, so the algae will often return rather quickly.
