May 2, 2008

In St. Louis roof cleaning is more and more in need for many homes because of the high humidity levels we have here in St. Louis. Roof mold is a common problem leaving a homeowner few choices on how to solve the problem.

Mostly on the northern sides of a typical home, algae begins to feed on the limestone in the shingle. Once this begins, the black stains you see just start getting bigger and bigger, until the whole side of the roof is covered in with roof stains.

Unfortunately, many homeowners with roof stains in Missouri believe they need their roof replaced because of this eyesore. That is simply untrue. Yes, if left to grow and to continue to infest on your roof, the mold and algae can take years off of the shingle life. However, if treated by a professional roof cleaner, not only will your roof look new again, the mold and algae can be killed and there is no need for costly roof replacement.

In conclusion, if you see those nasty streaks on your roof, rest assured they can be safely removed from your roof without the use of a pressure washer. All shingle roofs should be cleaned with low pressure to avoid any damage to the granules in the shingle.


OxyClean For Deck Cleaning

November 15, 2007

Oxyclean is the brand name for a sodium percarbonate based cleaner. This product is well suited for removing stains from fabric and rugs but it lacks certain elements when used as a deck cleaner. While sodium percarbonate is a great cleaner for wooden decks, the amount of the compound in a brand like Oxyclean is not adequate. It is always best to seek deck cleaning products that are manufactured strictly for exterior deck cleaning not multi purpose cleaners made to clean everything under the sun.

Sodium percarbonate has several things that make it outstanding for wood cleaning. The first is that it kills mold. It is categorized as a mildewcide. In the right concentrations, this chemical can be combined with surfactants and other wood friendly ingredients to produce a near perfect deck cleaner that is both landscape friendly and can make your deck look new again.
