It’s vital that you clean your roof to ensure the safety and integrity of your house. How often should I tidy up the roof of my home? This depends on a number of factors such as your type of roof, weather conditions, and the amount of debris on your roof. We’ll look at the details of roof cleaning and what to consider.

Types of Roof
Each type of roofing material has its own advantages and disadvantages. Each material has advantages, including cost, durability, and energy efficiency. Here are some common roofing materials.
- Roofs with asphalt shingles accumulate more debris and require special cleaning methods to prevent damage to the shingles.
- Metal roofs are generally cleaned using water and a soft bristle brush. Abrasive products can discolor the finish.
- A gentle pressure wash on a tile roof will restore its natural color and luster, and stop moss from growing.
Weather Conditions
Moderate to heavy rain falls throughout the year. This can lead to mold and mildew growing on roofs. Roofs should be cleaned once a month to prevent mildew and mold growth. Snow should be removed from roofs in winter to prevent damage.
