Roof cleaning is a great way to improve the look of your home. Dirt, stains and discolouration on the roof can cause it to become less insulated and lead to leaks that can cost you money in repairs, restoration or replacement costs.
Here are the steps involved in roof cleaning.
Cleaning the roof can be a dirty job that is best left to the professionals. But you can ensure the job is done right by following these tips.
Step 1: Make sure the weather is good. Rainy days are not ideal for roof cleaning, as you cannot see what's going on up there.
Step 2: Prepare your tools and make sure they are in good working order. This includes a ladder, safety harnesses, and other gear that may be needed depending on your situation and what kind of equipment you have available.
Step 3: Check the roof to ensure no loose nails or other debris that could cause injury while you clean.
Step 4: Use a ladder or other safe means to climb the roof.
Step 5: Use a pressure washer to remove moss, mould, and other debris from the surface of your shingles.
Step 6: If you notice any stains on your roof, mix a mild bleach solution (no more than 1/2 cup of bleach per gallon of water) in a bucket and apply it to the stains on the roof using a scrub brush or sponge. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse with clean water and dry off with a towel or rough cloth.
