One of yesterday's "makeovers". The sun shifted, but the "during" shot where only the right side had been completed shows a nice comparison.

Soft Wash uses chemicals that are recommended by ARMA to clean the roof with out pressure washing.

The chemical most used is Sodium Hypochlorite mixed with water and soap. This solution is two to three times as strong as your regular household bleach. The solution in not toxic to landscaping as long as it is not allowed to dry on their leaves. It is biodegradable and becomes a salt once it dries. It will kill and remove the black algae that creates the black streaks on roofs in our area. It will also kill moss and lichens on your roof.

Since both of these are attached to the roof shingle the proper procedure is to allow the moss and lichens to decay once killed and to be removed from the roof by subsequent rainfall or very light brushing where possible. Trying to remove these growths with pressure washing or hard scraping will harm your shingles.

What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses a low pressure washing technique, along with a mixture of algaecides, bleach, surfactants and water, to safely clean exterior surfaces of organic stains, mildew and algae.

What is the difference between Soft Washing and Power Washing/Pressure Washing?

Although soft washing, power washing and pressure washing seem similar they all use different techniques, equipment, pressure and chemicals. Power washing and pressure washing use a much more powerful water pressure than soft washing and power washing is typically done with much hotter water than pressure washing. The Soft Washing method is combined with a biodegradable disinfecting cleaning solution to kill the mold, mildew, bacteria, algae, fungus, moss and more.

When should you use Soft Washing method?

Soft Washing should be used on surfaces that are notoriously hard to get clean with pressure or would be damaged if one were to use high pressure on them such as windows, roof shingles, screens, wood paneling, etc. Soft washing was originally designed for the purpose of cleaning algae off of roof shingles.

Why should you Soft Wash your roof?

Gloeocapsa Magma (algae) is common on roofs and often leaves signature black streaks all over your shingles. This substance thrives in humidity and hot temperatures and spreads out, having a destructive effect on your roof. It feeds off the moisture that certain types of shingles hold on to. While the roof is effected, it begins to lose its ability to reflect UV rays and eventually rots the shingles. This has been said to effect roofs severely and can take up to 10 years off the life of a roof. Soft washing is the only way to effectively remove this algae without damaging the shingles and voiding any warranty. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends low-pressure bleach or detergent assisted washing as the preferred method for cleaning asphalt roofs in order to prevent damage to the shingles.

Pressure washing a roof, even at low pressure, can and will void your warranty and cause granular loss. This means that the integrity of the roof tiles will be compromised due to damage from the intense pressure of the water. In addition, power-washing only scrubs the surface of the roof without removing the root systems that have grown in, around, and under the tiles.

The Soft Wash technique eliminates all plant, fungal, and bacterial life and any dirt and grime from the roof safely, returning it to its original color with no risk of damage to the roofing materials
