What is softwashing?

Softwashing is a revolutionary cleaning method that removes mold, algae, and grime without the harsh pressure that can destroy your roof. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which blasts away at shingles and can cause more harm than good, softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to gently clean and protect your roof.

Here’s how it works:

No manual damaging methods used. Brushless, touchless roof clean that relies on the proper educated use of soaps to completely clean all black and green algae stains on the face of your shingles as well as gently kill and remove all moss and lichens.

  • 1) We blow off all loose debris and inspect your entire roof.
  • 2) We clean out your gutters and make sure downspouts are not blocked.
  • 3) We apply our biodegradable solution that breaks down and removes all moss, lichens, mold, black and green algae stains.
  • 4) All moss falls off within a 6 month max period! Zero granules lost! Your roof will be as bright and clean as the day they were installed for 4 to 8 years!

Benefits of Softwashing

  • Safer for delicate surfaces – Soft washing uses significantly lower pressure, making it ideal for cleaning surfaces like vinyl siding, wood shingles, stucco, and most roofs without causing damage.
  • Effective against organic growth – Soft washing solutions are specifically designed to kill mold, mildew, and algae, making it particularly effective on surfaces where these organisms thrive.
  • Longer lasting clean – By penetrating deeper with cleaning solutions, soft washing can provide a more thorough and long-lasting clean compared to just blasting away surface dirt with high pressure.
  • Improves Curb Appeal – A clean roof transforms the look of your entire home.
  • Environmentally friendly – Soft washing typically uses biodegradable cleaning agents, making it a more eco-conscious choice.

How Often Should You Softwash Your Roof

Roof maintenance often gets pushed aside until there’s visible damage, but keeping your roof clean is one of the smartest ways to protect your home.

In the Fraser Valley, we recommend softwashing every two to three years for most homes. That’s often enough to keep moss, algae, and black streaks under control without overdoing it.

If your home is surrounded by trees or doesn’t get much direct sunlight, you’ll likely need a cleaning every twelve to eighteen months. Homes with newer roofing materials and more sun exposure may be able to wait a bit longer.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

  • Two to three years for most homes in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Langley, Mission, Hope, and Agassiz
  • Twelve to eighteen months for shaded roofs or heavy organic buildup
  • Sooner if you already see black streaks, moss, or algae
  • Longer if your roof is newer, well-ventilated, and stays dry

The earlier you act, the more value you protect. A regular softwash helps extend the life of your shingles, improves curb appeal, and prevents costly moisture problems from setting in.

At Callaghan’s Softwash, we don’t oversell. If your roof still looks great, we’ll say so. If it’s time for a clean, we’ll explain what’s needed and why, with no obligation to book.

If you’re unsure when your roof was last cleaned, or you’re seeing signs of growth, we’ll take a look and give you a clear, honest recommendation.

Thanks for the great service Ed!”

Softwashing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses a biodegradable solution to remove algae, mold, dirt and moss. Pressure washing, on the other hand, uses high-pressure water, which can damage shingles and strip away protective layers on your roof. Softwashing is designed to clean deeper and prevent future growth, making it a more effective and safer option for long-term roof maintenance.

We recommend every 4-8 years, depending on your location and weather conditions. Homes in humid or heavily wooded areas may require more frequent softwashing to prevent the buildup of moss, algae, and debris. Regular maintenance not only keeps your roof looking great but also helps extend its lifespan by preventing organic growth from causing long-term damage.

Yes! Our cleaning solutions are biodegradable and safe for your home, pets, and landscaping. Unlike harsh chemicals used in some cleaning processes, our solutions break down naturally and do not pose any harm to surrounding vegetation. Additionally, softwashing uses significantly less water than pressure washing, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.

Absolutely! We stand behind our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not completely happy with the results, we’ll make it right. Our goal is to provide exceptional service and ensure your roof remains clean and protected for as long as possible.
