It will rinse off bro. We tell our customers there may be a light brown film till first rain, and usually it is not even noticeable

I'm trying to get this right, so you spray the love  on the roof and walk away and let the rain do the rinse? and I noticed you put a trash bags over the gutter drains  correct? and even if it does'nt rain for several days it will all be good right?

Trust  the Love...................

is there certain pumps or nozzles that you could carefully spray the love on with out wetting the vegetation down or worry about covering it up with tarps. I have enough sense not to spray on a windy day, but just wondering.

You need pump and tips that will skeet your stuff 20+ feet

Yes, Love is a beautiful thing!

 

It will be perfect.

What Kind of roof was it?

Different people do different things.

To make the best choice for your company consider a few items.

1. Type of roof. Because shingles and cement tiles react very diffrently to a light sprinkle.
A light sprinkle on a shingle roof might not be bad. But, even a light sprinkle on a tile roof can send enough love residue to kill every plant in the dripline.

For this reason I typically will rinse the lower 1/3 of a tile roof.
Heavy rains are great and won't cause an issue

2. Gutters, partial, or non. Here in the south most homes have either no gutters or only partial gutters. Full gutters are less of a worry than no gutters obviously.

3. Forecast. Right now in Florida you can expect heavy rain between 3-7 pm about 3-4 days a week. So no need to rinse. In dryer climates you might consider rinsing.

4. Customer base. Some will simply demand that it look its best before you get the check.
Others will be okay with waiting on a "free rinse". I always lead with "For us to rinse it will cost a little more, and it uses your water. We can and usually do let mother nature take care of that"

5. Personal preference. I rarely do shingle roofs, but when I do I usually rinse them.
I'm picky. I can't stand driving away from a light grey shingle roof that went from barely noticeable black streaks to now looking like there is a light coating of rust over the whole thing. Someday, I'll get over it. Choose what's best for you and the customer.
