Why Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Is a Must for Minnesota Homes

If you’ve noticed dark streaks, moss patches, or lichen on your roof, you’re not alone. Minnesota’s climate is perfect for organic buildup on shingles and metal roofs — and over time, that buildup can shorten the life of your roof. The solution? Soft wash roof cleaning done by a professional who understands how to clean safely.

If you're searching for soft roof cleaning near me, here’s why Red Eye Exterior Cleaning is the trusted choice for homeowners across the Twin Cities.

Why Roofs Need to Be Cleaned

Those black streaks you see on shingles? That’s Gloeocapsa magma — a type of algae that feeds on the limestone in asphalt shingles. Left untreated, it holds moisture, promotes moss growth, and leads to premature aging.

Metal roofs aren’t immune either. Pollen, bird droppings, and debris all eat away at the surface coating, dulling the finish and compromising longevity.

Why Soft Wash Is the Only Safe Method

Pressure washing a roof is a bad idea. It voids warranties, dislodges shingles, and can force water under flashing and seams. A soft wash roof cleaning uses low pressure and a biodegradable solution to gently kill and remove:

• Algae

• Moss and lichen

• Dirt and grime

• Tree sap and pollen

• Oxidation on metal surfaces

This process keeps your roof intact and your curb appeal sharp.
