The back side of my roof on my house has alot of "tar runs" from the shingles. It really makes the roof look like crap. The condition of the roof is still in good condition, only 12 years old.

Question is, is it safe to pressure wash the roof. I'm guessing no- out of the possibilty of de-grading the outer layer of the shingles. I always see advertisements for roof and shingle cleaning and wondered if it is safe or worth it, and if it will actually come clean.

Anyone have any advice?
