Eco-Friendly Roof Cleaning: Safe Solutions for Your Home

Has the fear about adding dangerous chemicals to your property from roof cleaning run-off kept you from demossing? It’s a legit concern. No one wants to poison the environment around their home just to clean the roof. So allow us to ease your mind by addressing that concern up-front: There’s no need to worry with soft washing!

Soft washing uses biodegradable, environmentally friendly cleaning solutions that won’t cause any harm to your trees, shrubs, lawn, or gardens. Nor will they harm any part of your house. In fact, the whole process is designed around safety.

For example, as described above, the cleaning solutions are safe. Soft washing uses sodium hypochlorite, Apple Wash, and water for roof cleaning. Apple Wash is a pinkish-colored, fragrant surfactant which works like soap to lift dirt. When combined with sodium hypochlorite, the solution cleans your roof of dirt, moss, mildew, and algae. It also keeps it from returning for years. Additionally, the solutions can be diluted, which makes them customisable to the necessary strength for each job.

The mechanics of soft washing also cause no harm. Water pressure is kept low (no greater than a garden hose) because the solutions do the work. This is especially good for older roofs that aren’t in the best shape, but still have a few years left in them. For added peace-of-mind, soft washing won’t void shingle warranties either (unlike pressure washing).

So, if your house needs a good roof cleaning and demossing, rest assured that soft washing is the safest, and gentlest solution possible. It’s actually the recommended way to clean all home exteriors.
