Roof Soft Wash
Safe, low-pressure cleaning that removes stains and extends roof life
Gentle Roof Restoration
Roof staining caused by Gloeocapsa magma (the black algae common in Mississippi) not only looks unsightly but can gradually degrade your roofing materials. Our soft wash technique eliminates these contaminants without the damaging effects of high-pressure washing.
Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft wash uses low-pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions that kill and remove organic growth at the root. This approach protects your shingles while delivering results that last longer than basic pressure washing.
Roof Contaminants We Eliminate
Black Algae
The dark streaks on your roof caused by Gloeocapsa magma algae growth.
Lichen
Tough fungal growth that attaches strongly to roofing surfaces.
Moss
Moisture-retaining growth that can lift shingles and trap water.
Organic Debris
Pine needles, leaves, and debris that accumulate in roof valleys.
Why Soft Wash Is Better
Safe for Shingles
Low pressure won't damage shingles or dislodge granules
Kills at Root
Cleaning solutions eliminate growth, not just remove surface debris
Longer-Lasting Results
Treatments prevent regrowth longer than pressure washing alone
Protects Home
No risk of water intrusion from damaged shingles or flashing

Common Questions
Absolutely. Soft wash is specifically designed for roofing materials. We use pressure below 500 PSI (compared to 2000+ PSI for pressure washing) and let cleaning solutions do the work. This is the method roof manufacturers recommend.
Most customers see clean roofs for 2-4 years before significant staining returns. The exact duration depends on your roof's exposure to sunlight, moisture, and surrounding trees. Annual roof inspections help catch any early regrowth.
We clean asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, metal roofs, tile roofs, and flat roofs. Each material gets appropriate treatment and pressure settings.
