Roof cleaning
Sorry, newbie question. Is it against the rules to pressure wash the roof?

most people would not risk using a pressure washer on a plastic membrane roof for fear of tearing it... a medium bristle brush with Spic and Span water and lots of water is what most people use...

lots of discussions on here about roof cleaning just search roof cleaning and you will find dozens of posts and lots of tips and favorite cleaners...

It depends on the pressure being used. If you use one, use low pressure. The lap sealant may be lifted if the pressure is too high.
