Keeping your roof clean isn’t just about curb appeal—it’s about protection and performance. But using the wrong method can do more harm than good. Here’s how to clean your roof the safe, effective way.
1. Avoid Pressure Washing
High-pressure washers can strip granules off shingles and damage waterproof layers. Instead, use a soft-wash system with gentle cleaners.
2. Use Algae-Resistant Solutions
Florida humidity encourages algae and mold growth. Use roof-safe cleaning solutions specifically made for algae and mildew removal.
3. Trim Nearby Trees
Overhanging branches drop leaves, debris, and provide shade that encourages moss. Trim them back to let your roof breathe.
4. Keep Gutters Clear
Clogged gutters cause water to back up onto the roof. Regularly clean them to prevent rot and water intrusion.
5. Schedule Professional Roof Cleaning
