Slate Roof Cleaning
Quote from Guest on August 26, 2024, 7:45 pmSlate roof on home in RI - c. 1933. What is the correct way to clean the roof of moderate build-up of lichens, mildew etc. A cleaning contractor proposes a "soft-wash" of chemicals (compositions unknown) that are sprayed on roof and not rinsed after application.
I understand that power-washing is not advised.
Are there specific brands of cleaners that are safe to use?
Thanks for your help!
