Those Dark Streaks on Your Roof Are Not Just an Eyesore
You noticed them a while ago. Dark streaks running down the shingles. Black discoloration is spreading across the surface. Maybe a little green creeping in along the edges.
You told yourself it was just dirt. Or age. Or something you would eventually deal with.
Here is the truth. Those streaks are Gloeocapsa magma — a type of algae that feeds on the limestone filler in your shingles. Left alone, it spreads. It holds moisture against the surface of your roof. It breaks down your shingles from the outside in. And it does not stop on its own.
The longer it sits, the more damage it does. A roof that needs cleaning can quietly become a roof that needs replacing.
Kleen-N-Brite provides professional soft wash roof cleaning for homeowners throughout Northumberland, PA, and the surrounding area. We remove algae, lichen, and organic growth from your roof safely and completely — without a single shingle out of place.
Why Pressure Washing Your Roof Is a Mistake
The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association specifically recommends low-pressure soft washing as the only safe cleaning method for asphalt shingles, as high-pressure washing removes the protective granule layer that provides shingles with UV resistance and weather protection.
Soft washing is the correct method. We apply a low-pressure cleaning solution that kills algae, lichen, and organic growth at the biological level. No scrubbing. No high pressure. No damage to your shingles, flashing, or gutters.
Your roof gets cleaned the right way and stays clean longer because we treat the source, not just mask it.
What Soft Wash Roof Cleaning Removes
Kleen-N-Brite soft wash roof cleaning removes Gloeocapsa magma algae, green algae growth, lichen colonies, and general organic staining from asphalt shingle surfaces throughout Northumberland County.
After a Kleen-N-Brite roof cleaning, your roof returns to its original color. The streaks are gone. The green is gone. What is left is a clean, protected surface that looks the way it was designed to look.

What Happens If You Keep Ignoring the Streaks
Roof replacement in Pennsylvania ranges from $8,000 to $20,000 for a typical residential home, depending on size and materials, compared to $400 to $900 for a professional soft wash, which can extend the existing roof’s lifespan by years.
A roof cleaning every two to three years costs a fraction of what premature replacement costs. Every homeowner who has faced a replacement that proper maintenance would have prevented knows that math all too well.
Frequently Asked Questions About Roof Washing
Is soft washing safe for asphalt shingles?
Yes. Soft washing is the method recommended by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association specifically because it cleans effectively without damaging shingles or removing the protective granules that high-pressure washing strips away.
How long does a roof cleaning take?
Most residential roof cleanings take between two and four hours, depending on the roof’s size and pitch, as well as the level of growth.
Will the algae and streaking come back?
Some regrowth is natural over time. Most homeowners in this region find that a professional cleaning every 5 to 7 years keeps their roof looking clean and effectively protects the shingles.
Do I need to be home during the roof cleaning?
You do not need to be home during the cleaning itself. We do prefer to walk the property with you beforehand.
Can you clean a roof with moss or lichen on it?
Yes. Lichen is the most stubborn form of biological growth on roofs. Our soft wash solution is formulated to treat it effectively. Heavily colonized lichen may show residual staining immediately after cleaning that continues to fade over the following weeks.
What areas do you serve around Northumberland?
We serve homeowners throughout Northumberland, Snyder, Montour, Union, and Columbia counties. Primary service towns include Sunbury, Selinsgrove, Danville, Lewisburg, Milton, Watsontown, Riverside, Shamokin Dam, Bloomsburg, and Mifflinburg.
How is soft washing different from pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast surfaces clean. Soft washing uses a low-pressure application of professional cleaning solution to kill organic growth at the source and rinse it away gently. For roofs, soft washing is the only safe method.
