How to Clean Asphalt Shingles

Asphalt shingles are the number one roofing material purchased across the United States. They work well on every shape and slope roof, and with proper maintenance, they can last for decades. Experts recommend cleaning them once a year to prolong lifespan and efficiency. (See the comparison photo)

Steps to clean your Asphalt Shingles:

1. First, make sure to wear safety equipment to protect your eyes and minimize exposed skin. If you don't have a store-bought cleaner, you can prepare your own solution. Use a 50/50 mix of water and household bleach. Put a gallon of the mix or store-bought cleaner into a sprayer. If your shingles are so dirty that this strength doesn't clean your shingles. It might be time to call Supreme Wash Pressure & Soft Washing.

Remember to set the ladder on a firm, level surface. You're going to want to work from the ladder, if possible. If you must walk on the roof, use a harness, or consider hiring a professional to clean your roof.

2. Apply your cleaner. Go from top to bottom and resist the temptation to use extra cleaner on dirty areas. Let the mixture sit for twenty minutes, then rinse it off with a garden hose. Note: If you have a roof with a steep pitch, make sure you purchase the appropriate cleaner to ensure it sticks to the shingles.

Algae should whiten and clear away gradually, while the moss should wilt and fall away with the next few rainfalls. Want a quicker way?
