After much research throughout the years on proper roof cleaning and washing, Matthews' Painting Company from Warsaw, Indiana now has a "No Wash No Scrub" roof and shingle cleaning system which washes, cleans and removes black and green mold, mildew stains, green algae, moss and black streaks off of roof shingles without the use of a pressure washer or scrub brush. Our "No Wash No Scrub" roof and shingle washing solution also works well on synthetic decking, such as Trex, as well as brick, stucco, awnings, concrete, and more. Our roof and shingle cleaning application is all performed without the use of harsh chemicals such as bleach and acids, so it is safe for your roof shingles, landscaping, and family. Household bleach, for example, can damage asphalt shingles due to its high sodium content. Apparently, the sodium causes an electrochemical reaction that reduces the elasticity of the asphalt leading to stiffness, brittleness and curling of the shingles.
![]() Do the shingles on your roof look like this.....or worse? |
Ask any Roofing Contractor and they will tell you, "Pressure washing black and green mold, mildew, green algae, moss, or black streaks off of roof shingles is not recommended." Pressure washing or aggressively scrubbing mold and mildew off of roof shingles or roof tops reduces the shingle life by nearly 50% because it removes some of the gravel (granular) coating from the asphalt shingle. The gravel coating on an asphalt shingle serves as a UV inhibitor from the suns harmful rays, and serves as a fire retardant. Pressure washing or "shampooing" black or green mold, mildew stains, green algae, green moss, and black streaks of of asphalt roof shingles, which require medium to high pressure and/or scrubbing, will cause shingle damage to some degree. Matthews Painting's roof cleaning system does not damage your shingles because there is no scrubbing or pressure washing involved, nor harsh chemicals.
