Safe & Effective Roof Cleaning That Lasts Longer!
If your roof has black streaks, moss, algae, or lichen, it’s more than just an eyesore—it can trap moisture, deteriorate shingles, and shorten your roof’s lifespan. At GunkGo, we use a low-pressure soft wash roof cleaning system to safely remove organic buildup and restore your roof’s appearance—without damage!
Unlike high-pressure washing, which can strip granules and weaken your roof, our soft wash method uses a specialized cleaning solution with surfactants that breaks down stains, eliminates organic growth at the root, and prevents regrowth for a longer-lasting clean.
💡 Roof manufacturers recommend soft washing as the safest and most effective cleaning method—protecting your roof while delivering superior results!

Our Soft Wash Roof Washing Process
1️⃣ Roof Inspection & Pre-Treatment
We inspect the roof to assess buildup levels, identify problem areas, and determine the best approach.
2️⃣ Soft Wash Cleaning Solution Application
Using a low-pressure soft wash system, we apply a specialized detergent blend with surfactants designed to break down black streaks, moss, and algae safely.
3️⃣ No Immediate Rinsing – Solution Works Over Time
The soft wash solution deeply penetrates and lifts organic buildup.
Have Roof Moss? We can help! After our moss treatment, over the next 4-12 weeks, moss will turn into a cotton-like material and naturally wash away with rain or wind.
4️⃣ Long-Term Protection Against Regrowth
Our preventative treatment keeps your roof cleaner for longer—saving you money on future maintenance!
💡 Soft washing doesn’t just remove stains—it kills the root cause of organic growth, ensuring a deeper, longer-lasting clean!
