If it's to clean debris then a hose is about it. The discolouring is normal (along with runoff streaks) and you don't want to brush it and cause lead dust and you remove the protective layer the patina has created, As the other poster said stay off it !!!! If it's not leaking leave well enough alone. Lead is soft and can be punctured or ripped by walking on an older roof. Lead can last over a hundred years to two hundred.

I would not advise walking on it at all. Lead is very soft and you could cause a hole or other leak in it. If anyone asks why it is discolored, tell them the technical name is patina.

If it is made of lead I would wear a mask....Use one of the blowers, to rid it of debres, and wash with a long handled broom........Then spray paint,,,,,
