Soft Wash Roof Cleaning in Action
In this video, Nevin and Terrance from Eco Clean Power Washing walk you through a real roof cleaning project in Mechanicsburg. We focused on the north-facing side of the roof, which was heavily stained with Gloeocapsa magma — the black algae responsible for streaks on shingles.
Instead of using high pressure, which can damage your roof, we used a soft wash process with a specially formulated cleaning solution. This method kills algae at the root and gently rinses it away over time.
Protecting Plants and Property
Roof cleaning chemicals are powerful — especially compared to a standard house wash. That’s why we take extra precautions to protect landscaping and plants around your home. Before applying our solution, we:
- Thoroughly rinse surrounding plants
- Apply a neutralizing agent to prevent chemical damage
- Monitor runoff to ensure nothing harms your property
See the Difference: Before & After
The results speak for themselves. The black marks around the dormers and across the smaller roof section are completely gone. Where the stains once were, the roof now looks fresh and clean — no pressure, no damage, just lasting results.
We even used our AR45 soft wash pump, which allows us to reach steep or high roof areas from the ground when possible, making the process safer and more efficient.
Why Roof Cleaning Matters
Aside from boosting your curb appeal, regular roof cleaning helps:
- Extend the life of your shingles
