Pressure Cleaning or Washing

First, it can be dangerous to the contractor pulling around a heavy hose filled with pressurized water.

Second, it can have a severe effect on the longevity of the roofing materials (shingles, tiles, etc.) and the integrity of the roofing system as a whole.
Surface Cleaners and Bleach
Other methods such as surface cleaners or a solution using 10% pool bleach (sodium hypochlorite) are also ineffective and harmful to many roofing materials.

Professional Chemical Roof Cleaning System
Excellent Roofing uses a specialized chemical cleaning system that incorporate sodium hypochlorite, mild detergents with an algaecide, and a solution thickener to minimize runoff.
