Soft Washing

What This Service Involves

Instead of blasting grime away, soft washing relies on biodegradable cleaning agents that break down algae, mildew, and moss at the source. This approach is ideal for Northwest homes where siding, roofs, and painted surfaces would be damaged by high-pressure water. The solution dwells on the surface, kills the organic growth, and is then rinsed away at a gentle pressure that leaves finishes intact. Because the treatment reaches the root of the growth, results last considerably longer than a simple pressure rinse.

Benefits

Cleans without the surface damage high pressure can cause; kills algae and mildew at the root for longer-lasting results; suits delicate materials like painted siding and roofing; relies on biodegradable solutions safe for landscaping

Our Process

1) Inspect the surface and identify the organic growth present; 2) Apply a low-pressure cleaning solution matched to the material; 3) Let the solution dwell and break down the algae and mildew; 4) Rinse gently and confirm an even, streak-free finish

What Affects the Cost

Area of surface treated and its layout; type of material and its sensitivity to pressure; severity and type of organic growth present; height and access around the structure; surrounding landscaping that needs protection

Best Time of Year

Effective through most of the year in Washington, though the damp spring and fall growing seasons are when soft washing pays off most.
