Roof Cleaning Agent Dangers

We have all done it at one point or another, right? We have mixed household cleaning chemicals together thinking it would clean better and faster? We have been overwhelmed by the fumes or gotten burned and some may have even ended up in the hospital.

Now for cleaning your roof the dangers are the same only on a much greater scale because of the amount of cleaning solution needed, such as this article about an explosion in Tampa

Tampa Roof Cleaning Explosion

or this one about a pressure cleaner that was injured

Pressure Cleaner Injured In Chemical Explosion

Both of these happened out of careless habits and/or no knowledge of the cleaning agents they were mixing.

Roof Cleaning is a serious business and the risks are real. Not just falling off a ladder but the handling of the cleaning agents can pose a danger if done improperly.

An Alert and concientious roof cleaner is what you need working on your home. An A-R-C-A Certified Roof Cleaner is taught the proper methods of handling and applying the ARMA(Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association) recommended cleaning agents. Rest assured, your A-R-C-A Certified roof Cleaner pays attention to what they are doing.
