The first step in cleaning a metal roof is to identify the current condition of the roof. Inspect the roof if there are holes or any areas with peeled paint. Always start cleaning at the top most part of the roof. This will let the debris run down and will also save you much time in cleaning. Mold and mildew can also be a problem. To solve that, you can use any effective store-bought solution, but do not scrape the roof using metal. You can use a brush to remove the dirt.
Mary is right! In cleaning your roof, you should avoid using sharp objects because it would scrape away your roof paint, it may even cause some shingles to come loose. What you can use is a soft wire brush to scrub away dirt. You can also go with a cup of household ammonia with 5 gallons of water to soften the dirt.
