Why soft washing

A pressure washer doesn't belong on your roof

The asphalt roofing industry's own trade association (ARMA) is direct about it: never use a pressure washer on shingles. It strips the protective granules and can lead to premature roof failure.

Soft washing follows ARMA's approach instead: apply a cleaning solution, give it time to work, and rinse at low pressure. The black streaks are Gloeocapsa magma algae, airborne and very much at home in Louisiana's warm, humid climate.

  • Low pressure on the roofThe cleaning solution does the work. No high-pressure spray on the shingles.
  • Landscaping protectedBeds and shrubs are pre-wet and rinsed throughout, in line with ARMA's guidance.
  • Even, uniform resultWe clean the whole roof plane so the color is consistent, not patchy.
  • Honest about longevityAlgae is airborne, so staining can return. Re-cleaning on a schedule keeps it in check.

Good to know

Questions we hear a lot

No. Roofs are cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash. The asphalt roofing industry's trade association (ARMA) specifically warns against using a pressure washer on shingles because it causes granule loss. We apply a cleaning solution, let it work, and rinse gently.
