Why We Use Soft Washing to Clean Roof's
At Clean Green PSW, we prioritize the long-term health and visual appeal of your roof. We recommend soft washing over power washing for roof cleaning to ensure safe, effective results. Soft washing employs eco-friendly detergents and gentle, low-pressure water to remove algae, mold, and debris, enhancing your property's aesthetics and protecting your roof's integrity. Choose Clean Green PSW for quality, eco-conscious roof cleaning that maintains both your property and our beautiful community.
Gleocapsa Magma (algae) is expected on roofs and often leaves signature black streaks all over your shingles. This algae thrives in Florida's high humidity and hot temperatures and spreads out, having a destructive and unsightly effect on your roof. Your roof then begins to lose its ability to reflect UV rays and eventually rots the shingles. This has been said to affect roofs severely and can take up to 10 years off the life of a roof. Soft washing is the only way to effectively remove algae without damaging the shingles and voiding any warranty.
Why Should I Clean My Roof?
Over the years, your roof is exposed to a multitude of environmental elements. These include rain, wind, sunlight, and even airborne pollutants. However, the primary culprits for roof dirtiness are often organic growths such as algae, moss, lichen, and mold. These unwelcome invaders thrive in damp and shaded areas of your roof and can spread rapidly, not only detracting from your home's appearance but also potentially causing structural damage.
​
Cleaning your roof provides several significant benefits:
​
1. Enhanced Curb Appeal: A clean roof instantly boosts your property's visual appeal. Removing those unsightly algae stains and moss patches revitalizes your home's exterior, giving it a fresh and well-maintained appearance.
​
2. Prolonged Roof Lifespan: Regular roof cleaning helps to extend the lifespan of your roofing materials. Algae, moss, and mold can erode shingles and tiles over time, leading to costly repairs or premature replacement. Cleaning removes these damaging elements, preserving your roof's structural integrity.
​
3. Energy Efficiency: A clean roof reflects more sunlight and absorbs less heat, which can help improve your home's energy efficiency. This means your HVAC system won't have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, potentially reducing your energy bills.
​
4. Prevention of Health Hazards: Moss, mold, and algae growth can create a breeding ground for allergens and potentially harmful microorganisms. Cleaning your roof reduces these health hazards, ensuring a safer living environment for you and your family.
​
5. Property Value: A well-maintained roof can increase the overall value of your property. When it's time to sell, a clean and attractive roof is an enticing feature for potential buyers.
Roof cleaning is not just about aesthetics; it's a vital part of maintaining your home's value and structural integrity. Regular cleaning helps safeguard your investment, improves energy efficiency, and contributes to a healthier living environment. At Clean Green PSW, we specialize in expert roof cleaning services to help you reap these benefits and keep your home looking its best.
