What We Soft Wash
Soft Washing Services We Provide
Soft washing isn’t just for house siding. Our technicians apply the right solution concentration and pressure for every surface type — protecting whatever we clean while eliminating biological growth at the root.
Vinyl Siding
Removes green algae, black mold streaks, and oxidation chalking that dulls color and makes vinyl look aged.
Fiber Cement & HardiePlank
Gentle low-pressure cleaning that removes biological growth from cement board without disturbing the paint or surface.
Stucco & EIFS
High-pressure washing can crack stucco. Soft washing cleans it thoroughly without forcing water into the substrate.
Wood Siding & Cedar
Low-pressure application prevents grain raising or splintering while still eliminating mildew and surface grime.
Brick & Painted Masonry
Soft washing removes algae and efflorescence from brick faces and painted block without etching or discoloring the surface.
Fascia, Soffits & Trim
Often overlooked in standard cleaning — we treat fascia boards, soffits, and trim lines that collect mildew and grime.
Wood Fences & Decks
High pressure splits wood grain and raises fibers. Soft washing cleans fences and decks thoroughly without causing surface damage or lifting stains.
Roof Surfaces
Asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and tile all benefit from soft wash treatment that kills algae and black streaks without voiding manufacturer warranties.
Solar Panels
Gentle deionized soft wash rinsing removes dust, pollen, and bird residue from solar panel surfaces without scratching or leaving mineral deposits.
Before We Arrive
4 Things to Do Before Your Soft Wash Appointment
Soft washing involves chemical application — a few easy steps from you makes the process smoother and protects your property.
Water Your Plants First
Pre-wetting surrounding plants and landscaping before we arrive helps dilute any solution contact and reduces the risk of stress on vegetation.
Close All Windows & Vents
Soft wash solution is applied under low pressure but can still find gaps around window frames and dryer vents — close everything up tight before we start.
Move Outdoor Furniture & Decor
Patio furniture, potted plants, doormats, and decorations near the exterior walls should be moved away from the house — especially anything fabric or metal.
Tell Us About Problem Areas
Cracks in stucco, compromised caulking around windows, or previous water damage? Flag these before we start so we can treat them with extra care.
Method Comparison
Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing — Which Does Your Home Need?
Not every surface should be pressure washed. Here’s how soft washing and pressure washing compare across the surfaces and conditions that matter most for your home’s exterior.
| Surface / Situation | Soft Washing | Pressure Washing |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl or painted siding | Recommended | Risk of damage |
| Stucco & EIFS exteriors | Recommended | Can crack surface |
| Algae & mold on siding | Kills at the root | Spreads spores |
| Concrete driveway | Not ideal | Recommended |
| Roof shingles | Safe & effective | Voids warranty |
| Long-lasting results | Kills organisms | Surface only |

What Customers Say About Our Soft Wash Services
4.8
Based on 1000+ ratings
“My house had green streaks running down the entire north side for two summers. I kept thinking I’d deal with it. One soft wash and it’s completely gone. Looks like a different house.”
— Theresa J.“I was nervous about the chemicals near my flower beds. The technician pre-soaked everything beforehand and walked me through exactly what he was using. Plants were totally fine, house looks incredible.”
— Kevin M.“The siding came out great — no complaints there. My issue is that the crew didn’t cover my AC unit and some solution got on it. They wiped it down when I pointed it out but I would’ve liked them to think of that without me having to say something.”
— Frank D.“We had black mold creeping across the stucco on the back of the house. Pressure washing always left it looking patchy. Soft wash took care of it evenly and we haven’t seen regrowth in six months.”
— Alicia R.“Results were excellent on the vinyl siding. There was one section under the eaves they skipped — called them and they sent someone back within a couple days. A little inconvenient but they made it right.”
— Sandra K.“Booked a soft wash before listing our house. Realtor said it was one of the best things we could have done — the curb appeal difference was massive. House sold in four days.”
