How to Clean Roofs Safely and Effectively Without Bleach

There are many different ways you can clean a roof but only few will deliver transformative results that will keep a homeowner happy and keep stains from moss, mold, algae and lichen from resurfacing. Our roof cleaning methodology, of course, uses our own Wash Safe premium cleaning products never bleach so we're going to walk you through how to clean a roof using Wash Safe products. 

We explain two different ways to clean your roof below. A regular cleaning application and a maintenance cleaning. What's the difference? A maintenance cleaning is cleaning your roof without a pressure washer. You spray the product on and let the rain wash away. It's important to note here that if you are a contractor, this isn't the method for you. 10 out of 10 times, a homeowner wants to see instant results and why wouldn't they? They have paid  you to wash their roof so they want to see the complete removal of those stains from moss, mold, algae and lichen when they pull up to their home. No more black streaks on the roof. Likewise, if you're a homeowner and want to see instant results, you'll want to consider using a pressure washer to remove them that day. Otherwise, the maintenance cleaning lets you apply the product with a garden pump sprayer or other spray system and leave on over time with the rain eventually cleaning it off. Note: this takes time!! We often find that the seldom times we are left with a bad review is when a homeowner sprays on the cleaning formula and expects it to go away (like magic) before their eyes with a maintenance spray on and no pressure wash off. This does not work that way so, before going into your home improvement project, it is best to know when you can expect to see your results so you have a full understanding of how the cleaning process works and when your home will look like new again. If you follow the instructions and learn about the product you're using, your home can look like new again!
