Your almost FREE House Wash Solution

Your almost FREE Roof Treatment Solution

🛠️ Tools & Materials You'll Need:

• Garden sprayer or pump-up sprayer (5L–8L)

• Garden hose with spray nozzle or trigger attachment

• Soft brush or long-handled scrub brush (for stubborn areas)

• Protective gear: gloves, goggles, old clothes

• Ladder (if you're reaching higher spots)

• Tarps or plastic sheeting (to cover plants or outdoor furniture)

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING:

If you're using dishwashing liquid as a surfactant, make sure it does not contain ammonia or acidic additives.
Never mix bleach with ammonia or acidic products, as this can create toxic gases. Most common dish soaps like Sunlight, Palmolive, or Dawn are safe — always check the label.

🧪 Homemade Soft Wash Solution:

In a garden sprayer, mix:

• 2 litres household bleach (5–6%)

• 4 litres water

• 1/2 cup dishwashing liquid (non-ammonia, bleach-safe)

This solution is effective against mold, mildew, and algae on most house exteriors.

🧹 Step 1: Prep the Area

• Move outdoor furniture out of the way.

• Cover nearby plants with plastic sheeting or water them heavily before and after application.

• Close windows and doors tightly.

🚿 Step 2: Rinse the Surface First

Use a garden hose to wet down the walls and surroundings. This helps protect surfaces and prevents the solution from soaking in too aggressively.

🧴 Step 3: Apply the Soft Wash Solution

• Using your pump sprayer, apply the mix from bottom to top (to prevent streaking).

• Let the solution dwell for 5–10 minutes, but don’t let it dry — reapply if needed to keep it wet.

🧼 Step 4: Scrub (Optional)

If there are stubborn spots (like lichen or heavy grime), use a soft brush or broom to gently scrub them.

🚿 Step 5: Rinse Off Thoroughly

Rinse all treated surfaces top to bottom with clean water. Rinse nearby plants and paths again to neutralize any runoff.

🔁 Step 6: Repeat if Needed

Reapply to any areas where mold or staining remains. Repeat the process as needed.

✅ Extra Tips:

• Work on a cool, overcast day or in the late afternoon to avoid quick drying.

• Store leftover solution safely and away from kids/pets.

• Never use high pressure on delicate surfaces like weatherboard or painted wood.

🧼 Step-by-Step DIY Soft Washing Guide

🛠️ Tools & Materials You'll Need:

• Pump-up garden sprayer (8L or larger)

• Ladder (ensure it's safe and stable)

• Protective gear: gloves, goggles, mask (to avoid breathing in spores)

• Hose with spray nozzle (optional for rinsing)

• Tarps or plastic sheeting (to protect gardens or gutters)

• Soft broom or brush (for dry sweeping, optional)

⚠️ SAFETY WARNING:

If using dishwashing liquid or any surfactant with bleach, make sure it does not contain ammonia or acids.
Never mix bleach with ammonia or acidic products — this creates toxic gases. Most common dish soaps like Sunlight, Palmolive, or Dawn are bleach-safe — read the label before use.

🧪 Homemade Roof Treatment Mix:

In your sprayer, mix:

• 2 litres household bleach (5–6%)

• 4 litres water

• 1/2 cup dishwashing liquid (non-ammonia, bleach-safe)

This mix kills moss, mould, algae, and lichen over time by penetrating and drying out the growth.

🧹 Step 1: Dry Sweep Loose Moss (Optional)

• On a dry day, use a soft broom to sweep off loose, dry moss. Be gentle to avoid damaging roofing material.

• Only do this if it’s safe — skip this step if the roof is steep or slippery.

🔒 Step 2: Safety First

• Make sure you're wearing non-slip shoes and have someone nearby if using a ladder.

• Avoid working on wet roofs or windy days.

• Keep pets and kids clear of the area.

🧴 Step 3: Apply the Treatment

• Apply the mixture generously to affected areas using your garden sprayer.

• Soak the moss and lichen well. Focus on ridges, shaded areas, and damp patches where growth is worst.

• Apply from top to bottom to prevent slipping hazards and ensure full coverage.

⏳ Step 4: Let It Sit – Do Not Rinse

• Allow the solution to stay on the roof and work over time.

• Moss and mould will start dying off in a few days; lichen takes 2–8 weeks to fully die and detach.

• Rain will gradually wash away the dead material.

✅ Extra Tips:

• For tile roofs: Be extra gentle; they’re prone to cracking under weight or pressure.

• For metal roofs: Avoid leaving bleach solutions on longer than necessary; rinse gutters if overflow occurs.

• For steep or dangerous roofs: Consider using a long-reach spray wand or hiring a professional.

🌿 Step-by-Step DIY Roof Treatment for Moss, Mould & Lichen

🧹 Step 1: Prep the Area

• Let someone know you're working on the roof or gutters.

• Remove outdoor furniture or cover plants below the gutters if you're dropping debris.

• Put on gloves and eyewear to protect from sharp debris and bacteria.

🧺 Step 2: Remove Debris from Gutters

• Use a scoop, trowel, or your gloved hands to remove leaves, twigs, and gunk from the gutter.

• Place debris into a bucket or drop it onto a tarp or garden bag for cleanup later.

🚿 Step 3: Flush with a Hose

• Use a garden hose with a spray nozzle to flush the gutter toward the downpipe.

• Start at the far end and work toward the downspout.

🌀 Step 4: Check the Downpipes

• If water isn't flowing freely, the downpipe may be clogged.

• Use a hose on full pressure, a plumber’s snake, or a straightened coat hanger to clear the blockage from the top or bottom of the downpipe.

• Once water flows freely, you’re good to go.

♻️ Step 5: Rinse & Tidy Up

• Give the gutters and downpipes one last rinse to ensure they’re clean.

• Remove any leftover debris from the ground or tarp.

🧰 Optional: Install Gutter Guards or Strainers

• Consider adding gutter mesh or downpipe strainers to prevent future blockages.

• These reduce maintenance needs and help keep leaves out.

✅ Extra Tips:

• Clean your gutters twice a year — in autumn (after leaves fall) and late spring.

• If you live near pine trees, you may need to do it more often.

• Wet debris is heavier — if it recently rained, consider waiting a day or two for things to dry.
