Life's Dirty. Clean Easy.

Brian Uses Wet & Forget to Clean His Neighbors’ Tile Roof

By Wet & Forget

Brian L., a resident of Apollo Beach, Florida, achieved exceptional results with Wet and Forget Xtreme Reach™ on his and his neighbors’ tile roof. 

Being a resident of a highly restrictive HOA community, Brian was aware of the need for a safe and cost-effective solution to maintain the durability and protection of his concrete tile roof. Upon discovering Wet & Forget, he took proactive measures to address mold, moss, and mildew stains issues on not only his roof but also those of his neighbors.

Maintaining your home in an HOA community can be a daunting task. Brian noticed that many of his neighbors, who are elderly, faced difficulties in cleaning high places such as roofs. Consequently, the HOA would hire expensive vendors to clean roofs. Unfortunately, this often caused more harm than good to their tile roofs. Residents were left with the responsibility of addressing additional home damages caused by the vendors. 

“There are so many elderly people in this neighborhood, it makes me sick to my stomach to see permanent damage caused to their roofs by pressure washing and the application of corrosive chemicals.” -Brian

As retired military personnel, Brian wanted to assist his neighbors in finding a more affordable and long-lasting solution for their roof stains. To accomplish this, he generously offered to spray their concrete tile roofs with Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™ Hose End upon their purchase of the product. He has been spraying his neighbors’ roofs every summer for many years.

To avoid any extra fees from their HOA, residents are required to present proof of roof maintenance every two years. Luckily, Wet & Forget is an authorized cleaning solution approved by their HOA. 

With Wet and Forget, you can effectively eliminate mold, moss, mildew and algae stains from various exterior surfaces. All you have to do is apply the product on the surfaces and let it work its magic by working with the wind and rain to eliminate the green and black stains.

“I just cleaned three of my neighbors’ roofs, and it didn’t even need it because it is still in pristine condition from when I cleaned it two years ago.” -Brian

To satisfy the HOA’s requirements, Brian applied a light layer of Wet & Forget to show as proof. Now, his neighbors can enjoy a spotless roof that is completely free of any unpleasant mold and mildew stains.

“As a former roofer, I am aware that some harsh chemicals, like pool bleach, can be highly corrosive.” -Brian

Several companies use harsh chemicals to clean roofs which yield immediate results but can cause permanent damage. Some chemicals can cause discoloration to windows and are highly corrosive to individuals’ homes.

Residents with concrete roofs often face difficulties due to the porosity of the material, which allows mold to infiltrate and spread throughout the roof. With Wet & Forget Outdoor, the product effectively cleans the surface. Its long-lasting effects vary depending on the environment, with some users reporting reapplication periods ranging from 12 months to 2 years.

“With Wet & Forget, you literally wet it and forget it. Unlike other products that require rinsing, your solution requires nothing.” -Brian

Brian advises his neighbors that the product will work gradually over time with the help of the wind and rain. Additionally, he advises them to refrain from using a surface pressure washer on their roofs as it can void the lifetime warranty on the tiles.

When it comes to black stains on a tile roof, results may take anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. However, green stains can be eliminated within 3-4 weeks. In the case of heavy moss, it may take between 4-5 weeks after saturating the area and with the help of rainfall.

“I can guarantee that this product works as long as you apply it properly. You want to do it early in the morning and on a cool day. The roof has to be dry and have a clear forecast.” -Brian

Encouraged by the success of Brian’s concrete tile roof from Wet & Forget Xtreme Reach™, he tried it on his deck. The deck was immaculate after just one application and a few months. Now, he recommends this product to all of his neighbors, as Wet & Forget not only removes green and black stains but also saves them hundreds of dollars. It’s a great solution for their cleaning needs.

To use Wet and Forget Xtreme Reach™, simply connect your hose to the bottle, select the tip you’d like to use, and turn the nozzle to ‘ON.’ The sprayer can spray up to 30 feet high. This makes it ideal for accessing difficult-to-reach areas. This bottle includes two tips: a jet tip and a fan tip. The jet tip propels the product to a greater distance, while the fan tip disperses it over a wider area.

For more precise applications, we recommend using Wet & Forget Concentrate. Mix 5 parts water to 1 part Wet & Forget into a pump sprayer. This particular application is more suitable for areas such as sidewalks, retaining walls, and similar surfaces.
