Remove dark streaks from your roof with a mold and mildew stain remover

Dear Glenn: Beginning last summer, I noticed some dark streaks and patches on the roof of my house. When an addition was put on our house about a year ago, the guys doing the work said the roof was in really good shape. The previous owners did a complete tear off with new roof in August 2000. Perhaps the roof just needs a really good cleaning?

John, via e-mail

Dear John: The dark streaks are very common and may be mold or mildew. You can use a product called Moldex Deep Stain Remover, (877) 463-2628, www.moldexbrands.com, followed by Moldex Protectant, which will slow the mold from coming back.
