Q: How do you prevent moss from growing on a roof?

Fortunately, you don&rsquo;t have to go as far as replacing it. After cleaning the moss, you can use a chemical solution to keep it away. For further protection, trim branches that overhang the roof, as fallen seed pods and leaves on the roof allow moisture to collect, encouraging moss growth. Consider adding zinc-coated flashing to the roof, too. As rain washes across the zinc, it leaves zinc particles behind that inhibit moss growth.</p></div>

"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)."

"We were very pleased with the results. Adam and his two co-workers (sorry, I did not get their names) were here on time, even a little early after calling first to see if that was acceptable. It was a cold day, but they didn't complain and went right to work. It took them about 2.5 hours to complete. The engine looks like it came off the show room floor. We were very happy and would use them again. They were all very friendly and our car looks brand new.

Mattress Cleaning questions, answered by experts

You could void your roof warranty using a power washer if you have a newer roof. With an older roof, you could knock loose older shingles. On the other hand, some people safely use a pressure washer to remove moss from a metal roof. Although you may want to use a pressure washer, the truth is that you probably don’t need it to knock moss loose. A garden hose and brush will do the job just fine and in a safer manner than a pressure washer.

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

You may become so frustrated with the look of moss on your roof that you contemplate whether to clean or replace your roof. Fortunately, you don’t have to go as far as replacing it. After cleaning the moss, you can use a chemical solution to keep it away.
