My daughter's kitchen window over looks the shingled roof of her patio.
She set a container of chicken fat on the window sill to cool it to a
solid state to be discarded. It spilled and ran down the roof, staining
the shingles. Is there anyway to remove the stain??

Wow. You could try scraping it off and using some sort of degreaser
and a scrub brush, but that might make more of a mess. I would bet
theres a mark there for a long time.

DAWN dishwasher detergent is an excellent degreaser

I wouldn't be scrubbing and scraping if those are grit covered shingles -
wood shkes would be OK though. Instead, use very hot tap water (not
boiling) and a strong solution of degreaser such as Dawn (do not use an
engine degrease because it will likelyu damage the asphalt base of the
shingles). Allow it a little time to work withoug allowing it to dry and
then rinse with plent of clean, warm water. Allow to dry and see if you
need to repeat.
