Baking Soda: A Versatile Ally in Home Improvement
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is more than just a kitchen staple. It's a powerful tool in the fight against unwanted fungi and moss, especially on roofs. While baking soda isn't a fungicide, it creates an alkaline environment that prevents fungi from growing. This makes it a natural, environmentally friendly option for maintaining your home’s exterior. The information on baking soda's uses in home improvement was adapted from research by Linda Chalker-Scott, Ph.D., at WSU Puyallup.

Moss Control on Roofs: Sustainable Solutions
Moss can be a beautiful part of nature, but it can cause significant damage to your roof. Traditional moss control methods often involve harmful chemicals, but at Green Home Improvements, we explore safer alternatives. By using baking soda and d-limonene (citrus oil), we can effectively prevent and treat moss without damaging the environment. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning your roof and trimming overhanging branches, also plays a crucial role in preventing moss growth. Insights on sustainable moss control methods were provided by the Northwest Center for Alternatives to Pesticides.
