Unlike high-pressure power washing, which can damage your roof, our soft wash method uses a mixture of cleaning agents, water, and low-pressure spray to safely remove stains, algae, kill moss, and other buildup from the roof. This method is considered to be more eco-friendly, as it uses fewer chemicals and reduces the risk of damage to the roof. After the cleaning process is complete, the roof is left looking clean and refreshed, and the cleaning agents help to prevent the growth of new algae and moss.
