Soft Wash Kits for Your Roof: How to Keep it Clean and Damage-Free

Cleaning your roof is an important part of maintaining it and ensuring that it lasts for many years. A soft wash kit uses gentle detergents to clean your roof without the risk of damaging it. These kits are available for purchase online or at most hardware stores.

Contents of a Roof Soft Wash Kit

A soft wash kit typically contains a hose attachment, a pressure washer wand, and a bottle of gentle detergent. The hose attachment is used to connect the pressure washer to your water source. The pressure washer wand is used to apply the detergent to your roof. The bottle of detergent is used to mix with water in the pressure washer.

Procedure:

Step 1: Connect the Hose Attachment

Connect the hose attachment to your water source. If you are using a garden hose, make sure that it is connected to a water spigot that has enough pressure to power the pressure washer. If you are using a pressure washer, connect it to an outlet and turn it on.

Step 2: Mix the Detergent

Mix the detergent with water in the pressure washer according to the instructions on the bottle. Typically, you will mix one part detergent with four parts water.

Step 3: Apply the Detergent

Point the pressure washer wand at your roof and apply the detergent. Start at the bottom of your roof and work your way up. Be sure to cover all areas of your roof. Allow the detergent to sit for 10-15 minutes.

Step 4: Rinse the Roof

Rinse your roof with clean water from the pressure washer. Start at the top of your roof and work your way down. Be sure to rinse all areas of your roof that were covered in detergent.

Step 5: Inspect the Roof

Inspect your roof for any areas that may have been missed. If you see any areas that need to be cleaned, repeat steps 3-5.
