Soft Wash Roof Cleaning
Safe, Effective Roof Cleaning
Restore Your Roof with Our Soft Wash System
Your roof is your home's first line of defense — and in South Florida's tropical climate, it takes a beating. Algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and black streaks don't just make your roof look old and neglected — they actively eat away at roofing materials, shortening your roof's lifespan and driving up energy costs.
Pure Clean Pros uses a professional soft wash system that cleans your roof safely and effectively — without the damaging high pressure that voids manufacturer warranties and breaks tiles. Our low-pressure chemical cleaning process kills biological growth at the root, delivering results that last 2-3 years — far longer than traditional pressure washing.
With over 35 years of experience cleaning South Florida roofs, we've restored thousands of tile, shingle, metal, and flat roofs to like-new condition. Every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Roof Types We Clean
Safe Cleaning for Every Roof Type
Tile Roof Cleaning
Concrete and clay tile roofs are the most common in South Florida — and the most susceptible to algae, mold, and mildew growth. Our soft wash system penetrates under and between tiles to kill organic growth at the root, restoring your roof's original color without dislodging or cracking tiles.
Shingle Roof Cleaning
Asphalt shingle roofs develop ugly black streaks caused by Gloeocapsa magma algae. High-pressure washing destroys shingles — but our low-pressure soft wash safely eliminates the algae and restores your roof's appearance while preserving the protective granules that extend shingle life.
Metal Roof Cleaning
Standing seam, corrugated, and metal tile roofs develop oxidation, chalking, algae, and rust stains over time. Our specialized metal roof cleaning solutions remove contaminants and restore the vibrant factory finish without scratching or damaging protective coatings.
Flat Roof Cleaning
TPO, modified bitumen, and built-up flat roofs collect standing water, debris, and biological growth that accelerates membrane deterioration. We clean and treat flat roofs to extend their service life, improve drainage, and prevent costly leak repairs.
What's on Your Roof?
Common Roof Contaminants We Remove
Algae & Green Growth
The green and dark staining on your roof is living algae that feeds on limestone filler in roofing materials. Left untreated, it holds moisture against the surface, accelerating deterioration and creating a breeding ground for mold.
Black Streaks (Gloeocapsa Magma)
Those dark black streaks running down your roof aren't just dirt — they're colonies of cyanobacteria that consume the calcium carbonate in your shingles. Our treatment kills the bacteria and removes the staining completely.
Mold & Mildew
South Florida's humidity creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth on roofs. Beyond being unsightly, mold can compromise roofing materials and potentially affect indoor air quality if it penetrates to the attic space.
Lichen & Moss
Lichen and moss develop root systems that penetrate into roofing materials, causing permanent damage if not treated early. Our soft wash treatment kills these organisms and prevents regrowth for years.
How We Work
Our Soft Wash Process
Roof Inspection
We inspect your roof from the ground and (when safe) from above to assess the type and severity of biological growth, identify any pre-existing damage, and determine the best treatment approach.
Landscape Protection
All plants, landscaping, outdoor furniture, and sensitive surfaces are pre-wetted and protected before any cleaning solutions are applied. We take every precaution to protect your property.
Soft Wash Application
Our custom-blended, biodegradable cleaning solution is applied at low pressure — typically no more than garden-hose pressure. The solution does the work, not the pressure, killing algae, mold, and bacteria on contact.
Rinse & Inspection
After the solution has had time to work, we gently rinse the roof and inspect every section. Results are typically visible immediately, with continued improvement over the following days as dead organisms wash away with rain.
Why It Matters
Benefits of Professional Roof Cleaning
Extends Roof Lifespan
Regular cleaning removes organisms that deteriorate roofing materials, potentially adding 10-15 years to your roof's service life and saving thousands in premature replacement costs.
Reduces Energy Costs
Dark algae and mold absorb heat, increasing your attic temperature and forcing your AC to work harder. A clean roof reflects more sunlight, reducing cooling costs by up to 20%.
Prevents Costly Damage
Biological growth holds moisture against roofing materials, causing rot, granule loss, and membrane deterioration. Cleaning removes these threats before they cause expensive structural damage.
Restores Curb Appeal
A clean roof can transform your home's entire appearance. Whether you're selling, refinancing, or simply want to love the way your home looks — clean roofing makes a dramatic difference.
HOA Compliance
Many South Florida HOAs require regular roof cleaning and can issue violation notices and fines for neglected roofs. We help you stay compliant and avoid costly penalties.
Protects Home Value
A well-maintained roof is one of the first things buyers, appraisers, and insurance inspectors look at. Regular cleaning protects your home's value and insurability.
