I looked at a metal roof today, about a 5/12 pitch, not very dirty. Are metal roofs walkable, what is a good safe way to wash metal roofs?

Can be slick, if you can walk it stay where the rivets are

I had one today and I just walk the rivet line,the building was build in the 20s so it was build right with steel beams Oh and it was painted I'm not big in to roof cleaning but for some clients I will clean it for them

Thanks, would the regular roof wash mix be ok, Industrial detergent+3-5% sodium hypochlorite, do you have a special mix for metal roofs? The roof is galvanized, not the colored red or green etc. Thanks
