The first thing that you should do is make sure
that you have a spotter on the ground. This
person will watch to make sure that the ladder
does not slip while you are on it or that it does
not fall and strand you on the roof. The
ladder you use needs to be sturdy and should be
wood or aluminum. Inspect the ladder before
starting your climb to ensure that all the rungs
are safe and there are no cracks in them if them
if they are wood. The roof is going to be

On the down spouts tie some type of bag to keep
the chemicals you are using to clean roof from
spilling down them and onto the ground. Make
sure that you are wearing protective gear such as
heavy rubber gloves, goggles, and jeans to
protect your hands, eyes, and legs from the
chemicals. Cleaning solution that you need to
prepare yourself can be mixed in a large bucket
on the ground, using a power sprayer set on the
lowest setting to spray it on the roof. When
using a power sprayer do not point it directly at
your roof as it could damage the shingles.
Instead spray it in a low arch so it gently falls
down on the roof.

leave it set on the roof for a set amount of time

sections at a time so you are not trying to walk
