Roof Moss Removal Done Safely by Chinook Services
Roof moss removal in Washington State and many other areas requires more attention to the proper methods for optimal results. With 20 years of experience, it is disheartening to see roof cleaning companies brushing roof moss. This method, along with scraping or pressure washing roofs, is unacceptable, and property owners need to understand the correct approach when it comes to asphalt shingled roof moss removal (the most common roof type in America).
Safe Roof Moss Removal Starts with Following the Instructions
Most manufacturers and roof installers agree that asphalt shingle roofs, the most common roof type, should never be brushed or scraped to remove moss. Asphalt roofs are soft and cannot withstand aggressive cleaning. Property owners should follow the instructions provided by shingle manufacturers for moss removal.

Instant Moss Removal From Roofs Will Cause Damage Period
Our society’s focus on instant results often leads property owners to expect quick solutions for roof moss removal. However, given the significant cost of replacing a roof, it is crucial to follow guidelines and instructions. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends applying a soft wash solution of water and bleach to kill moss. This allows the moss to dissolve and fall off naturally.
Brushing Roof Moss Is Unacceptable
Brushing or scraping roofs can cause severe damage, even though the results may appear acceptable from a distance. This practice can remove the top layer of granules, compromising the roof’s protection. Many roof cleaning companies fail to understand this, leading to property damage and taking advantage of customers’ lack of knowledge.
