"Michelle at Premier did a great job of educating me on how to care for my 20+-year-old leather coat, on what needed to be done to renew it, and cleaned it so it was almost like new. She also took over cleaning a fine Italian wool jacket I sent her, and even found buttons to replace ones on the sleeve that had fallen off She's professional, prompt, and gets the job done! I have no worries when I send my clothes to her in Calif from Wyoming (because we have no comparable specialty cleaners here)."

Mattress Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Moss grows in dark areas of roofs, including in corners and gutters. If left alone, it can grow under roofing and cause permanent damage. Here’s how to remove moss from metal roofs:

Soak the moss to soften it
Scrub it away with a soft-bristled brush, or pick it off with your hands (be sure to wear gloves)
Use a moss remover that’s compatible with metal roofing, following the manufacturer’s directions
Remove dead moss and rinse the roof thoroughly
Prevent future moss growth by trimming branches, cleaning gutters, and attaching zinc strips to moss-prone areas

If your home doesn't have gutters, you can still hang Christmas lights on the roof using specialized clips. Use roof clips designed to attach to shingles or fascia. For tile roofs or the edges of the rooftop, consider using parrot clips. Adhesive light-hanging clips are also a great option.
