No we dont soft wash we live in the uk, we also achieve instant results and don't continue to block gutters for the next 6 mths after treatment  ;D

After a fungicidal wash we can use which is 'inert' once dry must state simliar on data sheet. This will be applied once the roof has been 'hard' washed and is purely to eliminate any remaining moss spores, To be honest I believe most are but we need this covered via manu data sheet - for one particular client !

No Muppet  ;D - I need a product which will kill spores but once dry leave no 'trace / residue' which may effect pets ie cats, clients pedigree cats are ninjas and gain access to the roof   ::)roll

Chris thks for email - Must say really fed up with the stuff i read ref Mossgo ! HS compliant my a*** how they get away with it is beyond me  :o All the photos I see contradict all working at heights regs. Why have they not been reported  ???

Funny enough I spoke to a client today a friends roof was 'treated' using Mossgo, drift has killed nearby plants in a neighbors flower bed plus part of the lawn, currently trying to find out which contractor was responsible.

The product "will meet your requirements"ie biodegradable ,non toxic etc..... application methods are down to the specific contractor.
It does not kill plants or grass at the correct dilution rates big droplets not a fine mist! ...sometime they(grass,plants) go a bit yellow but they do recover.

er what  ??? ???- non toxic its key incredient is DIDECYLDIMETHYLAMMONIUM CHLORIDE  ??? Same as numerous fungicidal washes .... This is slightly toxic lol will kill any aquatic life even via drift - I also dont want to explain to my customers 'Sorry your plants have gone a bit yellow but they will recover'  ;D

The mossgo site clearly shows operatives not following numerous working height regs as we have discussed, plus reading data sht operative should use breathing ap and prevent chem from entering drains, So how do you do that  ???

In ref to Algoclear if their 'Guide' has a clause ref to customer complaints surely that tells you something  ::)roll

EEC labeling regs! You would not even contemplate using petrol if you saw the data sheet for that! :o
Just use it according to the guidelines you,ll be fine....southern softies.  If its going into the gutters (in any quantity) your applying too much.
