Taking care of your home or commercial property comes with many responsibilities, such as maintaining the roof. And while you might schedule an annual roof inspection at the recommendation of your roofing contractor, you might not be as diligent when it comes to roof cleaning. But roof cleaning is a really important task to ensure that your roof lasts its full lifespan.
Because both residential and commercial roofs are delicate, it is important to trust the right professionals to provide roof cleaning and to make sure they will use the proper method: soft washing. This method is often referred to as a safe alternative to pressure washing because it will not damage delicate materials like asphalt shingles. It gently removes the layer of dirt, grime, and organic contaminants to restore your roof’s appearance and prevent premature deterioration.
There are plenty of reasons why soft washing is the ideal roof cleaning method. As we have already said, it will not damage your roof. It also produces results that last much longer. This is because soft washing is designed to kill algae, mold, mildew, moss, lichen, and bacteria. Where using another method would be like giving these contaminants a haircut, soft washing eliminates them at their roots, so they will not just grow back months later. Plus, soft washing uses less water than other methods, and its cleaning solutions are biodegradable, so you do not have to worry about its impact on the environment.
