Why Clean Your Roof If You Don’t Have To?

With so much misinformation being spread across the web about roof cleaning, many people are rightfully confused about the best and/or safest way to clean a roof. But many that have taken the time to learn about the various options are also starting to realize an obvious choice - Prevention!


While almost every Roofing Professional familiar with roof cleaning, especially here in Florida, will tell you that high-strength solutions of chlorine bleach will cause irreversible damage to the roof fixtures and underlayment, they will also tell you that repeated use of ANY cleaning method is subjecting the roof to unnecessary wear and tear that the roof structure is really not designed to handle. PREVENTING the stains and eliminating the need for cleaning is much safer for the roof.


Roof-A-Cide customers that choose our Proactive Approach to Roof Maintenance don’t have to worry about choosing between methods that have the potential to damage the roof or are toxic to the environment. We PREVENT roof stains safely and thereby eliminate the need for cleaning.

Professional Roof Cleaning for Communities

Protect Your Property by learning about your choices in different cleaning methods.

Most Roof Cleaning contractors here in Florida are using high-strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) because it is cheap, fast, and easy – but there are much safer and more effective ways to maintain your roof. 

Extremely High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions usually will not do noticeable damage to actual asphalt roof shingles or concrete roof tiles, but they will do irreversible damage to almost everything else that comprises a roof system – fixtures, flashings, fasteners, gutters, and most importantly the underlayment that covers the roof and serves as the actual waterproofing. This damage usually goes unnoticed for years before the problem is discovered.

This is why you do not see reputable Roofing Professionals using or advocating this dangerous method – but you will find them using other methods that are safer for the roof, safer for the environment, and APPROVED by Roofing Manufacturers.
  • FACT: Both Bleach and TSP will corrode metal (even in weak concentrations) and High-Strength Chlorine Bleach (Pool Chlorine) will accelerate the damage – especially when the roof is not rinsed properly.
  • FACT: Not One Roofing Manufacturer in the US recommends the High-Strength Chlorine Bleach solutions that are being used all over Florida and increasingly throughout the US.
  • FACT: Roofing Manufacturers have approved safer alternatives to Chlorine Bleach for cleaning roofs.
Protect yourself and your property by learning why knowledgeable Roofing Professionals, Property Maintenance Professionals, and Community Management Professionals choose Roof-A-Cide to eliminate the need for Roof Cleaning.
