Is your roof starting to look streaked, stained, or dirty? You’re not alone. Florida’s heat and humidity create the perfect environment for algae and mildew to thrive on shingles. While many companies resort to blasting roofs with high-strength pool chlorine or harsh pressure washing, these shortcuts can do serious long-term damage. At Hoover Pressure Cleaning, we use Roof Restore—a safe and effective solution that cleans without compromise.
Why “Quick Fix” Roof Cleaning Methods Backfire
It’s easy to make a roof look clean fast by flooding it with concentrated pool chlorine. But here’s what most homeowners don’t know: that practice can break down the very parts of your roof designed to prevent leaks—valleys, underlayments, and flashings. Repairs in these areas can cost thousands, and no manufacturer recommends this type of treatment.
Light pressure washing and bleach have been mentioned in old general guidelines, but even those come with risks. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) put out a technical bulletin decades ago suggesting household bleach for shingle stains. That outdated recommendation is still used as “proof” by some contractors, but ARMA isn’t a manufacturer—and those guidelines don’t apply to today’s roof systems or to other roofing types like tile, metal, or slate.
Simply put: harsh chemicals and heavy pressure are not the right way to care for your roof.
