Removal of gloeocapsa magma from asphalt and metal roofs  

++++

I am trying to find a safe chemical to use in the business of asphalt, metal, and wood roof cleaning, mold removal. I think there must be some chiemical that is safe. For instance, bleach will do the job but kills the plants. Any help appreciated.

You are right, Bleach is a quick way to kill plants, and it also destroys the shingles (think of what it does to a pair of jeans).

The safest way to clean a roof and rid yourself of Gloeocapsa magma is to use a purpose built cleaner. Something Quick, Simple and Effective would be ideal.

Once cleaned, you'll need to annually prevent the return of the algae. Roof Armor is ideal for a spray and walk away solution.

Roof QSE to clean, Roof Armor to protect.

With this strategy, you can keep the roof algae free for years to come.
