  • What is softwashing, and what does it entail?

    Softwashing is a cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces. According to HomeGuide, a garden hose offers water pressure at 50 PSI, whereas a pressure washer can provide between 1500 and 4000 PSI. Unlike traditional power washing, which relies on high-pressure water, softwashing is gentler and ideal for more delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and windows.

  • What do I do about the black mildew on my roof?

    Cleaning mildew off your roof is important for several reasons. 'Black mildew' on your roof is most likely caused by a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma, which appears as dark streaks and is the primary cause of black staining on roofs. This algae thrives in moist, shaded areas and can hold moisture against your roofing materials. Over time, the constant moisture exposure can lead to the deterioration of shingles, potentially causing leaks and structural damage. To address black mildew issues, reach out to a local pressure washing company. Speak with our professionals at Clear Shine now!
