As I reported earlier, the "Wet and Forget" killed both the lichen and the moss. Now after 3 months all of the dead lichen has washed off the roof and the remaining bits of moss in the groves are all dead. The product does not contain bleach but it sure killed to moss.
In our case clearing the area of trees is not a great option.
