Why Soft Washing Is the Best Way to Clean Your Roof (And Why Pressure Washing Can Damage It!)
April 16, 2025
What’s the Difference Between Pressure Washing & Soft Washing?
Pressure Washing – Uses high-powered water jets (2,000-4,000+ PSI) to remove dirt from surfaces like driveways and sidewalks.
🚨 Why it’s bad for roofs: Can strip away protective granules, causing leaks, shingle damage, and voiding warranties.
Soft Washing
– Uses
low-pressure water (100-300 PSI) +
eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove dirt, moss, and algae.
✔️ Why it’s better: Kills algae and bacteria
at the root without damaging shingles.
The Risks of Pressure Washing Your Roof
⚠️ Shingle Damage – High pressure blasts away the protective granules on asphalt shingles, making them more vulnerable to the elements.
⚠️
Water Intrusion – Pressurized water can seep under shingles, leading to
rot, mold, and interior leaks.
⚠️
Short-Term Results – Pressure washing only removes
surface dirt—moss and algae will return quickly.
Why Soft Washing Is the Best Choice
✔️ Safe for all roof types
✔️ Kills moss & algae at the source
✔️ Longer-lasting results (prevents regrowth for years!)
✔️ Protects your shingles & maintains warranty coverage
