As we take a long hard look at the roof cleaning market, we can notice that there are two kinds of products when it comes to keeping the top of your house cleaned. The ones that are biodegradable and the ones that are not. Even though we prefer the biodegradable ones, we also understand that there are some situations where it’s more profitable to have the non-bio degradable ones as they indeed have a reliable power of cleaning and they can usually clean everything down to the last microbe.
The TruCleanEX Deck and Roof Cleaner is one such chemical and believe us when we tell you we have not seen a more potent compound that can clean anything it touches. However, you might want to keep it away from falling into your garden as it is not biodegradable and therefore it can damage your plants and also keep in mind how you dispose of it as you don’t want your pets sniffing it or licking it from the ground.
Why you should use TruCleanEX Deck and Roof Cleaner
When it comes to cleaning power, we highly recommend you try this product as it has absolutely exceeded our expectations. We have tried and tested many products, and we can say with certainty that this is one of the top three products when it comes to raw power.
You can use it on log cabins, patios, fences, tiles and grouts, gutters, shingles, glazed tiles and also terracotta roof tiles. Basically, you can use this on everything but, since it is a potent chemical, make sure to always test it on the surface but somewhere far from sight before you apply it to the whole thing. We also used it on wood, and it has restored the natural look of the wood like it was brand new.
It also works well on concrete which makes it perfect for not just cleaning roofs, but other outside areas of the home as well. It comes in several different packaging sizes which makes it perfect for both people that want to take a lot for their business and for people that want to clean their roof once. The packaging comes in three sizes:
- 4×1 gallon
- 1×5 gallons
- 1×55 gallons
How to Use TruCleanEX Deck and Roof Cleaner
The TruCleanEX is a concentrate that dilutes 9:1 so it’s pretty strong but easy to mix. Since you can use it on different surfaces, there are many ways you can use it. The general application methods are:
- Give it a good shake before mixing with water
- Once mixed apply a generous coat to the surface you want to clean
- Wait 10-15 minutes, and pressure wash it down with all the dirt and grime it has cleaned.
- Rinse again, so you don’t miss any dried-up spots
– Use the mix as a spray and wait 10 minutes maximum before you start to wash it down. That will give your wood the “looks like new” shine.
One more thing to keep in mind is that painted surfaces should be protected from the TrueClean as they can damage the paint on some materials. For further details check the back of the packaging.
Outside of the painted surfaces, this product can be used on almost all surfaces outside the house, including:
- Pool Decks
- Fencing
- RVs
- Roofs
- Garages
- Patios
- Playground equipment
- Pots
- Driveways
- Siding and more…
Verdict
When everything is said and done, everyone that is serious about removing every spec of dirt from their canopy will get this product. We highly recommend it to businesses that want to leave a lasting impression when they go to perform a roof cleaning job as every customer will be amazed at the sheer quality of work you will be able to complete using this product. Another reason why we would recommend this product is that it’s straightforward to use and that it does not require any additional use of other chemicals.
The TrueCleanEX Deck and Roof Cleaner is a potent concentrate that is designed to fight pollen, mildew, algae, stains from weathering, grease, grime, and can be used on virtually any outside part of the house. With so many products that we have reviewed, we rarely find a product that stands out from the rest, but we can safely say that this product belongs in that bin. The reports also say that over 80% of American homes have at one point used this product and that a huge chunk of that 80% still uses it for their roof cleaning and deck cleaning needs. If you want an easy-to-use product that can be applied every few years and still gets the job done better than half the other products on the market than look no further.
Don’t forget that if you have pets or a garden, you need to take extra measures to protect them during the time that you are cleaning your roof. Make sure that all the water is appropriately taken care of as the chemical is not biodegradable.
