How To Clean And Prevent A Mossy Roof

Resources:

When working on a roof, safety is very important. Tom added a roof anchor to the rafters, wore a harness, and used a safety line. These can be purchased at home centers or hardware stores. Tom used a push broom to gently remove the loose pieces of moss. He then installed a roll of zinc strip moss preventer, which can be purchased online or at specialty retailers. Finally, he sprayed down the roof using a solution of water and bleach. He started at the bottom of the roof and worked up so that he wouldn’t step on wet areas and slip.
