Roof Green

Green roof is the name given to the collection of algae, moss and lichen which collects on a roof and creates green patches. 

A new or well maintained roof has weatherproofing with mould inhibitors, and is clean and therefore a sterile environment where organic matter cannot grow. But as the waterproofing wears off, the roof can remain soggy and trap moisture. As dirt and dust collects on the roof, it creates a perfect environment for growing. The good news is, with a bit of scrubbing and some elbow grease, that this can all be washed out and your soft top restored.
