Will soft washing hurt my shingles?
No, soft washing is the method the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA) recommends. High-pressure washing of asphalt shingles is what damages them. Correctly diluted SH with a surfactant, applied at low pressure, kills the algae without touching the granules.
Why does only one side of my roof have streaks?
Gloeocapsa loves shade and moisture. The north-facing slope (and the west-facing in some San Diego microclimates) stays damper longer, so that's where the colony takes hold. It spreads slowly from there. That's also why coastal homes get streaks faster, marine layer fog feeds it.
