Tired of Moss & Algae Stealing Your Home's Curb Appeal?
If you’ve been Googling “roof washing near me” and wondering if those stubborn dark stains can ever actually be removed, the answer is a resounding yes. At Vida Clean Glass, we deliver professional-grade services that restore your roof’s original beauty, protect its structural integrity, and add real market value to your property, all without lifting a single finger on your part.
Your roof is the single largest protective surface on your home. Yet most homeowners don’t give it a second thought until it starts leaking, sagging, or looking so weathered that it drags down the entire exterior. Don’t wait for damage to force your hand. Let Vida Clean Glass take care of it now.
Our Roof Cleaning Equipment & Soft Wash Technology
One of the most common mistakes homeowners make, and one some less reputable services make too, is using high-pressure washing. This is damaging. High-pressure streams strip the protective granule coating from asphalt shingles, blast water under tiles, and can void your manufacturer’s warranty almost instantly.
We use an industry-leading soft-wash system, the gold standard in professional roof-washing services. Here’s what sets our cleaning equipment apart:
- Low-Pressure Application: Low-pressure delivery system (no more than garden-hose pressure) that never stresses roofing materials.
- Biodegradable Cleaning Agents: Professional-grade, EPA-compliant biocidal cleaning solutions formulated to kill algae, moss, mould, and bacteria at the cellular level, not just wash them off the surface.
- Extended-Reach Equipment: Specialised soft wash nozzles and extended reach poles that allow our technicians to clean from a safe working position without unnecessary traffic.
- Plant & Property Protection Protocol: Pre-rinse and post-rinse neutralisation process that protects surrounding landscaping, gutters, and downspouts from chemical runoff
- Documentation & QC Tools: Before-and-after thermal and visual inspection tools to document the full scope of cleaning and ensure no area is missed.
The result? A roof that is cleaned thoroughly, treated at the biological root level (not just surface-rinsed), and left protected against regrowth with results that typically last 2 to 4 years longer than pressure-washed surfaces.
Our Roof Washing Services: What We Offer
1. Soft Wash Roof Cleaning (Residential)
Our flagship roof washing service uses the soft wash method to safely eliminate algae, black streaks, moss, lichen, and mould from all residential types, asphalt shingles, cedar shake, clay tile, concrete tile, metal, and slate. The cleaning agent is applied evenly across the entire surface, allowed to dwell and neutralise biological growth, and then rinsed gently. Most residential ones are completed in 2 to 4 hours.
2. Moss & Lichen Elimination Treatment
For heavy moss or stubborn lichen attachment, we apply a targeted biocide treatment that penetrates the root system and kills growth from the inside out. A follow-up preventative coating is applied to inhibit regrowth. This service is ideal for properties in humid, shaded, or heavily treed environments where biological growth returns quickly.
3. Commercial & Multi-Unit Roof Washing
We provide professional services for commercial properties, apartment complexes, HOA communities, and multi-unit residential buildings. Our equipment is designed for large surface areas, and we work around your schedule to minimise operational disruption.
4. Roof, Gutter & Exterior Combo Package
Combine your roof washing with a complete gutter cleanout, gutter brightening, and exterior window washing for comprehensive curb appeal in a single service visit. Our most popular package for seasonal property maintenance is the most cost-effective way to refresh your entire exterior.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How often should I schedule a roof washing?
Most roofs benefit from professional cleaning every 1 to 3 years, depending on your climate, local tree coverage, and how much shade it receives. Homes in humid or wooded environments may need annual service. We’ll assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule during your free quote.
Is soft wash roof cleaning safe for all roof types?
Yes. Our soft wash method and cleaning equipment are safe for asphalt shingles, cedar shake, metal, clay tile, concrete tile, and slate roofs. We adjust the concentration and application technique of our cleaning solution based on your specific material.
Will your roof cleaning equipment or chemicals damage my plants and garden?
No. We use fully biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions and take precautionary steps before every job, pre-wetting the soil around your landscaping and covering sensitive plants and garden beds. Once the solution is rinsed and diluted, it poses no risk to surrounding vegetation.
How long will the roof stay clean after washing service?
Results from our soft wash roof washing services typically last 2 to 4 years, depending on local conditions. Because we kill biological growth at the root rather than simply washing it off the surface, regrowth takes significantly longer compared to pressure washing. We also offer a preventative coating add-on that can extend clean results even further.
How is your roof washing service different from DIY cleaning products?
DIY products from hardware stores are typically diluted consumer-grade formulas that treat surface growth temporarily. They don’t penetrate root systems, and results rarely last more than a few months. Our professional-grade equipment and commercial biocidal solutions eliminate growth at the molecular level, delivering results that are more thorough, longer-lasting, and genuinely safer for your roof structure.
Do I need to be home when you carry out these services?
You don’t need to be home as long as we have safe access to the exterior of your property. We’ll send you a notification when we arrive, complete the service, and follow up with before-and-after photos so you can see the transformation — whether you’re at home or at work.
