Soft Wash & Surface Care

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses specialized, biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, mold, mildew, dirt, and organic buildup from exterior surfaces.

The main difference between soft washing and pressure washing is the amount of pressure used. Pressure washing relies on high-pressure water and is best suited for durable surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure combined with cleaning solutions, making it the safer option for more delicate surfaces like siding, roofs, fences, and painted exteriors where high pressure could cause damage.

Soft washing is ideal for house siding, roofs, fences, decks, stucco, and other exterior surfaces that could be damaged by high-pressure cleaning.

Results typically last 1–3 years depending on weather conditions, shade, moisture levels, and surrounding vegetation. Areas with more shade or tree coverage may see faster regrowth of algae or mildew.

As an added precaution, we recommend keeping pets indoors or away from the immediate work area during the cleaning process and until surfaces are fully rinsed and dry. This ensures they don’t walk through wet solution or freshly treated areas while we’re working.
