Did you use the liquid bleach or the powdered borax? There is a difference, and what you see may be spots that might never disappear.

Try it with the liquid “outdoor” bleach. I get it at Home Depot.

The bleach will help but they probably won’t disappear. Don’t lose sleep over it.

Can anyone provide the ingredients for the equivalent roof cleaning mixture using cleaners available in Canada?

I use a mix of Dawn and Awesome Orange available at your local Dollar Store.
About 1/2 cup of each in a 5 gal bucket of water. Rinse thoroughly after scrubbing.
