Soft Washing 101: The Safe Way to Clean Your Roof

Soft washing vs. pressure washing your roof

Your roof is one of the most expensive parts of your home to replace — and one of the easiest to damage if cleaned incorrectly.

High-pressure washing can strip granules from shingles, force water under flashing, and shorten your roof's life. That's why we never pressure wash roofs.

What is soft washing?

Soft washing uses low pressure — about the same as a garden hose — combined with specialized, biodegradable solutions that kill moss, algae, and lichen at the root. The growth comes off safely, and stays away far longer than with pressure washing alone.

The benefits

• Safe for shingles, tiles, and metal roofs
• Eliminates the organisms causing black streaks
• Extends the life of your roof
• Safe for landscaping and pets

If you're seeing dark streaks or green patches, it's time for a soft wash. Reach out and we'll take a look.
