Follow this comprehensive guide to keep your roof in great shape.
- Inspect and Prepare Your Roof
Start by assessing your roof for damage, such as a cracked roof. Repair any issues before cleaning to avoid worsening existing problems. Gather tools like a ladder, garden sprayer, soft brush, and protective gear. - Clear Loose Debris
Use a soft broom or leaf blower to remove leaves, branches, and dirt. Clearing debris ensures proper drainage and prevents clogs in gutters. Avoid harsh tools that could damage your roof’s surface. - Apply the Cleaning Solution
Spray a roof-safe cleaner evenly, starting at the top and working downward. Let it sit for the recommended time to break down moss, algae, and grime. Choose a solution compatible with your roofing material to prevent damage. - Scrub Stains Gently
For tough moss or algae stains, use a soft-bristle brush to scrub affected areas. Avoid pressure washers, as they can strip away protective granules or crack tiles. Be patient and work methodically for best results. - Rinse and Clean Gutters
Rinse your roof with a garden hose, starting at the top and ensuring all cleaner is washed off. Check and clear your gutters of any debris washed down during cleaning to maintain proper water flow.
