Q: What time of year do you remove algae from a roof?

• <div><p>Ideally, you will tackle removing algae from your roof during spring or summer when the weather is drier and warmer. Because algae tends to grow during the colder and wetter months, you want to tackle this project before the temperature drops to hopefully keep it from coming back at all.</p></div>

Q: What kills green algae?

• <div><p>Vinegar, bleach, chlorine, barley straw, and a bevy of dedicated algaecides can kill algae, which is the easy part. Preventing algae from returning can be a struggle for some homeowners, but keeping the patio well-maintained and clean is a good first step. </p></div>

Q: Do solar panels need to be cleaned?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s not completely necessary for them to operate properly, as the occasional rainfall can rinse away dirt and debris, manually cleaning solar panels from time to time can keep them operating more efficiently.</p><p>Dirt, debris, pollen, and bird droppings can collect on the surface of the panels. Depending on the amount of solar panels you have, this can add up over time, so set a regular maintenance schedule. Moreover, if you live in a climate with little to no rainfall, more debris can accumulate, causing inefficiencies that would be clear in your electricity bill. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to walk on the roof to clean gutters?

• <div><p>Walking on the roof to clean gutters is unsafe. If you do your own gutter cleaning, use a ladder to reach the gutters rather than climbing on your roof. Walking on the roof is dangerous, especially if it has rained recently or if there are fallen leaves. You can also damage your shingles when walking on them, which can lead to water leaks.</p><p>Keep in mind that using a ladder has its risks, too. It can be difficult to keep your balance while doing the labor-intensive work of cleaning gutters. For safety reasons, hiring a pro to clean your gutters is the best choice.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to clean your roof?

• <div><p>Roof cleaning isn&rsquo;t a necessity, but it can drastically improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal and even prolong the life of your roof, so it&rsquo;s often a great investment. It&rsquo;s especially a good idea if shaded parts of your roof experience algae or moss growth, which can damage the shingles and hold water against them, increasing the risk of a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/7-unexpected-dangers-leaky-roof.htm">roof leak</a>.</p></div>
