Use Roof Wash to remove stains caused by moss, black algae, mold, lichen or any fungus that may grow on roofs. It's highly effective on all types of roofing material: asphalt, metal, tile, wood shake, rubber and new composite materials. Note: we do have some roof cleaning products made specifically for other types of roofing like "Cedar Wash" for Cedar Shake Roofs and "Tile Roof Wash" for all types of cement and clay barrel tile roofing.
If you are afraid of spraying a chemical up on your roof you should be. Not only can the chemical run off and damage your plants and lawn, but some roof cleaning products sold online can be fatal to your pets. These toxic chemicals can alter the color of your roof and stain any other surface it may contact on the way off the roof. Our roof cleaner, "Roof Wash" is made from earth friendly hydrogen peroxide and it will not harm people, pets or property. As an oxygen based cleaner, the product only has an active life of 4-6 short hours before this product biodegrades, making it by far the safest product in the roof cleaning industry.
Roof cleaning can be accomplished two ways, 1. The roof can be physically washed with light pressure or 2. Mother Nature can do the rinsing. Roof cleaning contractors go up on the roof and physically wash the roof down. There is always a natural concern from the home owner about someone pressure washing their roof, a pressure wand in inexperienced hands can cause serious problems to a roof but a pressure washer in experienced hands will result the highest quality, longest lasting “clean” available. After applying the Roof Wash the correct method is to be up on the roof using light pressure aiming down the roof at all times at the angle of the roof, this way there is never direct pressure with the roof. The pressure washer in this fashion is just being used to rinse the roof down, sending all the waste and debris into the gutters. There are also special nozzles for pressure washers that we manufacture called “Soft Tips” that would further reduce the impact pressure on a roof by up to 70%. When a roof is professionally cleaned this way, no damage occurs to the roof.
Most home owners do not have the capability of cleaning their roof the way a contractor would so most choose method number 2 and let Mother Nature help out. Nothing will ever get a roof as clean as when it is physically washed down with a pressure washer, but this method will get the roof pretty darn close, let's say 85-90% cleaner. To do this, apply the solution to the roof and let it dry, then apply one more coat and leave the roof for Mother Nature to wash. Timing an approaching works well too. A repeat application may be necessary after a number of rainstorms if the roof isn't as clean as you would like it but you can clearly see the roof get cleaner and cleaner after every storm, it will continue to clean itself for months and months after the application. If hiring someone to do the job is what you would rather do, a roof cleaning contractor can be found in every state now, but if you can't find one, we would be glad to speak to your local handyman and go over the cleaning process with them, just give us a call.

Testimonials
"Our house sits at the end of a cull-de-sack, all you could see driving up the street was our dirty roof, it was so embarrassing but now it is clean again, thank you so much for creating this great product"
Joanne McMurray, Hillsboro, NC
"I sprayed it on the moss, within 5 days it was brown and a month later it was gone with no damage to the roof" Ava McKenzie, Olympia, WA
| Uses | Very ideal for removing Moss, Mildew, Lichen or Black algae stains from asphalt roofing shingles. |
|---|---|
| Coverage | 2 lbs will treat 600-800 sq ft of roof. |
| Directions | Add 3/4 cup per gallon of water, mix well, stirring frequently, allow solution to fully activate for 15 minutes prior to use. To clean stains caused by moss without rinsing just apply and leave the rain will do the rinsing. Allow 60 days to pass before reapplying if needed. For instant results removing stains caused by moss, mold or black algae apply to roof with a pump sprayer or other other spraying methods and use a pressure washer at low speed to rinse the roof, this is the optimal means of cleaning a roof, a scrub brush and hose may be substituted. Just applying and letting the rain rinse will clean the roof to some degree but a roof will always come the cleanest if you can lightly wash down the roof with a pressure washer mainly because of the volume of water that it produces. At the right angle and at the right pressure a roof will never suffer any damage, the roof is being much more damaged as it sits now with the different funguses eating away at your roof, the fungus must be removed or a roof can loss up to 1/2 of it's life when infected with roof fungi. |

Great Product Review by Les
Overall I live in Houston Texas and the humidity affects lighter shingles by really promoting mold and mildew growth. I used Roof Wash about 1.5 years ago and my roof still looks almost new. It takes a few months and some rain for the roof to start clearing but when it does, it looks fantastic. My roof was almost black but is back to a light tan after just one application done with a garden sprayer. I highly recommend this product. (Posted on 2/17/12)

GREAT PRODUCT Review by Bill
Overall I have a handyman business and use this roof cleaner many times. It works exactly like they say it does. Spray it on using a pump up sprayer with warm water and that's it. The cleaner does the rest. Unbelievable but true.

Kills & Cleans Review by Sean Stiles
Overall I've built the roof cleaning part of my company around roof wash. I've used all the different products - roof raider that was lye - bad to work with you hands the plants suffered, Bleach and tsp and your hands suffered again and the plants had to be covered, both of those seemed to remove the tar from the shingles, breaking down the shingle. Now with roof wash it doesn't hurt your hands nor the plants, and kills & cleans the algae,mold infected roof asphalt shingles without harming the shingle. (Posted on 8/30/11)

Looks like new roof. Review by Marvin Pollock
Overall We had ugly blacks streaks coming right down the middle of our roof, I sprayed a competitors roof cleaning product on my roof and just left it set up there alone like the directions said, 2 months of rain passed and nothing happened. I ordered your product and sprayed it on the roof streaks the same way, we got heavy rains in the following weeks and most of the black disappeared. I then applied one more coat of your Roof Wash and I can't ever tell the roof was dirty. My children came to visit and they thought I got fed up and replaced the roof, those black streaks were a real thorn in my side, I keep my home very clean, I'm retired I have nothing else to do. You made this old guy in Amirillo very happy. (Posted on 3/26/11)

You saved me from replacing roof. Review by Suzie Mcgann
Overall My home owners insurance company told me to remove the moss from my roof or have the roof replaced and gave me only 60 days to to so. I didn't have the money to replace my roof so I researched roof moss and found your Roof Wash, with in 10 days of applying the solution to the moss it had all dried up and shrunk it was barely noticeable and by the time the insurance inspector came back my roof was clean of moss. Thank You Wash Safe, you saved me. (Posted on 1/22/11)

Wonderful job! Review by Sanda Millar
Overall I thoroughly researched roof cleaning products because we live right next to a salmon producing river in Washington state. Your product was the only one I could find that was safe enough to us and it did a wonderful job! A little work than we had hoped but in the end we saved the roof and the salmon are safe also.

Excellent! Review by Marcy Dunkin
Overall excellent product, excellent customer service! We were under pressure from our home owners association to clean our roof. We got an estimate from a roof cleaning company for $650.00 but on a fixed income we couldn't afford that, we didn't know what to do. Our handyman found your product, he watched the roof cleaning video's and spoke to a man there and cleaned our roof like new. The product cost and his labor fit our budget and was under 25% of the estimate we got. Thank you so much, we will spread the word in Orlando. (Posted on 9/14/09)
