FAQs
Can I use this on a metal roof?
The formula is specifically optimized for roof tiles, including clay. We recommend testing a small area if applying to non-tile materials.
Do I need to scrub the roof?
No, the intense formula is designed to work chemically. Scrubbing is generally not required.
How long does the biocide prevent regrowth?
The duration of protection depends on environmental factors, but the integrated biocide is designed to provide long-lasting inhibition compared to cleaners without this additive.
Is it safe for plants near the gutter downspouts?
While the product is intended for roof surfaces, we recommend rinsing the area well and diluting any runoff that enters garden beds.
Can I use this in a pressure washer?
This product is designed to be applied without the use of a pressure washer to avoid damaging tiles; application by sprayer is recommended.
Troubleshooting
The product did not remove all black spots.
Heavy or long-standing staining may require a second application or a slightly longer dwell time if the surface is particularly porous.
White streaks appearing after rinsing.
This is likely residual product that was not rinsed sufficiently. Perform a secondary rinse with clean water to remove remaining active ingredients.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before starting, ensure the weather conditions are dry to avoid the product being diluted by rain. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure surface compatibility.
- Preparation: Clear large debris such as leaves or twigs from the roof surface.
- Application: Apply the 5-litre solution using a pump sprayer, ensuring complete coverage of the affected tiles.
- Dwell Time: Allow the formula to sit for exactly 60 minutes. Do not allow the product to dry completely on the tile.
- Rinsing: Rinse the roof thoroughly with clean water, working from the top down to ensure all residue is washed into the guttering system.
Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and keep out of reach of children and pets when not in use.
