Remove moss from a shingled roof
If left to grow freely, moss will gradually break down the structure of an asphalt shingle. To clean shingles, use a deck cleaning product applied with a soft-bristle brush. Brush gently until the moss is gone.
There are two methods to keep the moss away:
1. Sprinkle the affected areas with a laundry detergent containing bleach granules.
2. Buy a roll of 10-cm (4 in.) zinc. Measure the roof ridge and cut a strip to match. Insert the strip under the ridge shingles on both sides so that 8 cm (3 in.) is showing. The oxidizing process of the zinc will continually coat the roof below and prevent moss from growing.
