My wife and I were returning from a week long trip about 6 years ago. She happened to notice the roof. "What are those ugly black streaks on our roof?" she asked. "Can you do something about that or should we have our roof replaced?" Since our roof was only about 8 years old at the time, I hoped there was a way to safely clean it.

Roof Cleaning Steps
Step 1: Clean

Wet the section of the roof down that you will be working on first. Apply the Roof Cleaner Concentrate using the Roof Cleaner Applicator tool. Spray this on the roof and allow it to set for 15 minutes. (Make sure it remains wet. If it dries out, spray more cleaner or some water on it to keep the cleaner active)
Step 2: Rinse

After attaching the Roof Rinsing Tool to the end of your hose, turn on the water, then turn on the utility water pump. Start at the peak of the roof and work your way down towards the gutters, rinsing the Roof Cleaner Concentrate off the roof.
Step 3: Block

After the entire roof has been cleaned and rinsed, apply the Stain Blocker for Roofs using a pump sprayer. This can be applied to a damp roof, and does not need to be rinsed off.
