Why avoid chlorine cleaners?

Why should you avoid chlorine cleaners? Most Soft Wash cleaners use SH, which is Sodium Hypochlorite. This chlorine cleaner does effectively clean service mold and algae, but needs to be rinsed off the surface, i.e. roof, within minutes. Therefore it does not fully penetrate into the surface to fully eliminate mold and algae. That is why mold and algae will quickly grow back after cleaning.

Further damage is often done to the metal fasteners used to anchor the roofing tiles, shingles, and metal roofing products and vents. If not completely removed, the chlorine can remain on the roof and continue to corrode and weaken the roof system.

So Flo Eco Wash uses Lazer Mold and Algae Remover cleaner which does not corrode substrates and penetrates deep into the surfaces where applied to eliminate mold and algae at the root. The cleaner keeps working after application for up to 1-year, and offers protection to the surface.

When used as part of the exterior maintenance program, we guarantee the surfaces remain free of mold and algae for the duration of the agreement.
