Why Soft Washing Is the Safest Way to Clean Your Roof
If you've noticed dark streaks, green patches, or moss growth on your roof, you're not alone. These signs of algae, mold, and mildew are common in Sharon's humid climate, and they don't just look bad. Left untreated, they can eat away at your shingles, shorten your roof's lifespan, and even lead to costly structural damage. That's where soft washing comes in.
At Double O Pressure Washing, we specialize in roof cleaning using the soft wash method—a safe, low-pressure approach that protects your shingles while delivering deep, long-lasting cleaning results.

What Is Soft Washing?
Unlike traditional power washing, which uses high-pressure streams of water to blast away dirt, soft washing relies on a combination of gentle water pressure and eco-friendly cleaning solutions. These specialized detergents break down algae, lichen, mold, and grime at the root, ensuring they don't return right away.
The key benefit? Soft washing thoroughly cleans your roof without damaging delicate materials like asphalt shingles, tile, or cedar shakes.
Why Is Soft Washing Safer For Your Roof?
Prevents Shingle Damage
High-pressure washing can dislodge granules from your shingles, weakening their protective layer and exposing your roof to UV rays and moisture. Soft washing eliminates this risk, keeping your roofing materials intact.
Kills Algae At The Root
Black streaks on your roof are often caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a type of algae that feeds on limestone filler in shingles. Our superior Sharon power washing service uses an effective cleaning solution that penetrates and kills it at the root, preventing regrowth for months or even years.
Minimizes Water Intrusion
Using too much pressure on your roof can force water under shingles and into your attic or insulation. Soft washing avoids this by using a controlled, low-pressure rinse.
Eco-Friendly & Long-Lasting
We use biodegradable solutions that are safe for your family, pets, and landscaping, without sacrificing cleaning power. Soft washing is not only safe, it lasts longer than surface-level pressure washing.
Real Results: What to Expect
Our customers are often amazed at the transformation soft washing can deliver. What starts as a stained, streaked roof can be restored to a clean, uniform finish in just a few hours. The improvement in curb appeal alone can make a huge difference, especially if you're planning to sell or refinance your home.
