Moss, algae, and lichen are common problems for roofs in Ireland, leading to unsightly stains and even long-term damage if left untreated. At RM Roof & Exterior Power Washing, we specialise in professional roof cleaning and softwashing, using Actiwash as our trusted solution for safe, effective, and long-lasting results. Here’s why Actiwash is the best choice for your roof.
What is Actiwash?
Actiwash is a professional-grade, bleach-free biocidal cleaner designed to remove moss, algae, and organic staining from roofs and exterior surfaces. Its gentle yet powerful formula makes it ideal for softwashing—thoroughly cleaning your roof without the risk of damage from high-pressure washing.
Key Benefits of Actiwash for Roof Cleaning and Softwashing
1. Deep Cleaning Without DamageOur softwashing method, combined with Actiwash, gently removes moss and algae without harming your roof tiles or slates. This approach preserves the structural integrity and appearance of your roof.
2. Long-Lasting ProtectionActiwash not only eliminates existing moss and algae but also inhibits their regrowth. Your roof stays cleaner for longer, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.
3. Safe for All Roof TypesActiwash’s nearly neutral pH means it’s safe for all roof materials—slate, tile, concrete, and more. It won’t cause corrosion, fading, or surface damage.
4. Fast, Visible Results
Green moss and algae stains start to disappear within days.
Red stains fade in 1–2 weeks.
Black and stubborn stains lighten over several weeks, with full improvement often seen within a season.
5. Eco-Friendly and BiodegradableActiwash contains no bleach or harsh acids. It’s biodegradable and safe for your garden and the environment.
6. Prevents Future Moss GrowthAfter treatment, Actiwash leaves a protective barrier that helps keep moss and algae at bay for months—sometimes up to three years, depending on local conditions.
How Our Roof Cleaning and Softwashing Works
Inspection: We assess your roof’s condition and identify areas affected by moss and algae.
Application: Actiwash is applied using low-pressure equipment, ensuring even coverage and deep penetration.
Natural Cleaning: Over the following weeks, rain and weather naturally wash away dead moss and stains, revealing a cleaner, brighter roof.
Long-Term Care: The residual effect of Actiwash helps protect your roof from future organic growth.
