Is Soft Washing Safe for My Roof?

Yes. Soft washing is the safe way to clean a roof.

What soft washing is

We apply a cleaning solution at low pressure, let it work, then rinse gently. The solution kills the algae at the root. It removes algae, mold and buildup without damaging tiles or shingles.

Why not pressure washing?

Pressure washing uses force. On a roof, that force can crack tiles, strip the protective granules from shingles and void a roof warranty. We never pressure wash a roof.

Will my tiles break?

Soft washing is gentle on tiles. High pressure is what cracks them, and we don’t use it on roofs.

What about my plants?

We protect them on every job. We water all the plants around the house before we start, bag the downspouts, cover plants where needed, keep watering while we clean the roof, and water them again when we are done. More in Will roof cleaning kill my plants?

Which roofs can be soft washed?

We clean tile, shingle, metal and flat roofs this way, on homes and on commercial buildings.
