Would use a metal scraper. Had some chumps do my house roof and the moss was pretty well stuck on. That was what they used

Hi Jupiter, simply brush off the loose stuff with a very stiff brush and for the hard baked on simply get a wire brush and that should do. It’s time consuming but it will look better. Also have a look at treating the roof to properla fungicide sealer. Works a treat. And it won’t grow back.
What stops it being washed off the roof?

The product penetrates the tile and seals it. Nothing can then attach its self to it not even rain. Go to there web page properla, German engineering at its best.

No , don’t wet it . It makes it harder to remove. Clogs all the brushes up and makes a terrible mess , that will take longer to clean.Make the most of dry conditions for the next week.
great tip @Johnny Allround
Moss on my roof dries during a good spell without rain and brushes off easily, comes back again in wnter though

When you next clean your roof, coat it with properla. Check the website out! I use it to seal roofs,patios wall and concrete anything you just don’t get any comeback. It’s expensive but works out cheaper in the long run.
I'm not convinced. Have you got any 10 year old examples?
