Why Clean Metal Roofs?
To prevent algae, dirt, and oxidation. Cleaning maintains curb appeal and extends lifespan.
How Often to Clean:
- Every 1–2 years (humid areas)
- Every 2–3 years (drier climates)
- After major storms
Best Methods:
- Soft Washing – Safe and effective with biodegradable cleaners.
- Pressure Washing – Rarely, and only with caution.
- Manual Cleaning – For stubborn stains, with soft brushes and mild detergents.
Safety Concerns:
- Slippery surfaces increase fall risks.
- Ladder hazards include slipping and overreaching.
- High elevations amplify fall dangers and make rescues harder.
- Weather risks include heat, rain, and wind.
Safer Alternatives for Elevated Roofs:
- AI-Enhanced Drones & Robotics – No need to step on the roof.
- Telescoping Wand – For modest height cleaning from stable platforms.
- Professional Services – For complex roofs requiring OSHA-compliant gear.
