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>

Q: Should you use a pressure washer on the roof shingles?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re asking yourself, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-roof-cleaning-extend-life-my-shingles.htm">should you pressure wash your roof</a>, the answer almost always is no. The water pressure that the power washing machine generates could damage the shingles by forcing water underneath or causing them to loosen. Soft washing with a pump sprayer is the better and safer option.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: Is bleach or vinegar better to kill moss?

• <div><p>Bleach and vinegar can both kill moss effectively. However, if you&rsquo;d rather use a non-chemical option that&rsquo;s better for the environment, vinegar is the choice. Depending on the paver material you use, vinegar and bleach can also stain or discolor the surface. When unsure, test and use the option that doesn&rsquo;t react with your paver material. </p></div>

Q: What chemicals do you use for soft washing?

• <div><p>Soft washing chemicals typically consist of a mix of sodium hypochlorite (or a chemical component of bleach) and water. While sodium hypochlorite and bleach are often thought to be the same thing, there is one small but key difference between the two: sodium hypochlorite comes in powdered rather than liquid form, which means that it&rsquo;s also more concentrated and more effective from less product overall.</p></div>

Q: Should I clean a green roof?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-green-roof.htm">green roof</a> is a roof design that includes a thin layer of vegetation on the roof surface. It&rsquo;s an environmentally friendly option. Some green roofs may look like they have moss or algae on them, causing neighbors to suggest that you clean the roof. However, you should never try to clean a green roof, as any cleaning methods you deploy will likely kill the vegetation.</p></div>
