Comment on the aiens remarks on mildew resistant, it doesn't matter what you have for a roof if it faces North you can have mildew growing on the tips that are shaded. A lot of houses have mildew on the North side of the building siding. Depends on if snow sits or if it rains a lot and it is on the shaded side. I speak from experience, I have a metal shingled roof and the lower part of the shingle on the N. side has mildew growing. Sprayed with a biodegradeable cleaner , let sit and rinse off, not power wash, and it comes off.
Metal roofs with stand a lot more hail and wind verses shingles, BUT it depends on the type of metal roof and the gauge or thickness of the metal roof and who installed it. One benefit is that on straight ribbed roofs the snow will melt and slide off. The downside is if you have a long slope is that the snow and ice could come down and fall back on the windows. There are metal roofs that are just like shingles and they have a 50 year warranty and take a lot of abuse before they show any signs of damage. I have a metal roof with a slate shingle look to it. And has a 25 year appearance warranty besides the 50 year warranty. Metal roofs however do not allow cell phones or wireless communications to be used unless you install a antenae outside to one inside. Metal roofs are new and as yet are not recognized by insurance co. for their durability to with stand a lot more abuse. 8 years and no hail damage even tho we had hail and neighbors had to reroof. Roof looks great and no leaks. But get a good reputable roofer to put it on. The roof is only as good as the contractor.
I agree with the alliens answer except I would not use bleach in any application. You have mildew/mold issues don't add another toxin to the formula. Washing with any non hazardous cleaner does just as good a job and safer. Then if it is on the outside of toilet use Hydrogen Peroxide to dissinfect, it will also prevent mold/mildew from growing, which bleach will not. Bleach is a good dissinfectant and stain remover, but does not kill mold. Your kitchen sink has more germs than your toilet does. Ever dissinfect your dish rag or sponge, if not you have a lot of gems on them thar cleaning devices that you are suppose to be cleaning dishes with that you eat off of. Again Hydrogen Peroxide and water and let it soak in it it. Bleach will do the same thing but why put more toxins in the air. Get rid of chemical cleaners they create problems. There is a lot of alternatives to chemicals to do the same if not better job, and no side effects. A good preventative measure for germs and mold is Ozone. www.understandingozone.com is a great source of information on ozone, and how it is a healthy choice. Good luck and have a great day.
If there is a little bit of mold on a piece of bread and the loaf is all together, it is not the same as a litle yeast spoils the whole batch. Since yeast and mold are both of the fungi catagory yeast gets worked into the whole batch, where as the mold on the bread is on a cooked product. Just like mold on a orange, cut off the mold and the rest is ok. If your living on the streets it adds flavor. Some poeple are real sensitive to any form of mold and may break out. Some could eat it and not be affected by it. The key is to not let it get to that point. Mold is something we have to learn to live with without it ruining our health and wealth. Since I am not a health professional I can't say it is safe to eat it but I have to say as a kid I did eat it not knowing it was bad. But adding that there are over a thousand types of mold to tho. Did this answer your question?
