Default Moss Green Color On House: Will Cold Temp's Kill It, And The Color ?


----- Original Message -----
From: "Robert11"

The somewhat shady side of the house has a few good size patches of very
light colored
green colored moss on it. (I assume it's moss, but perhaps fungus,
algae, or... ?)


Questions:

a. Will that kill the moss ?


Yes.

b. If so, when "dead", will the green color go away ?


Yes, it will turn a gray color. Maybe dark gray.


Reason I'm asking is that we will be re-painting the house in the Spring,
and if the green color will actually go away, will just wait until then.




It has to be cleaned before you paint. Spray it with a bleach solution,
brush it and rinse away. Why not take 15 minutes now to have a better
looking house?
