Soft Wash House Washing

Restore your siding without the risk of high pressure.

Technician soft washing the siding of a two-story home

Green streaks and dark stains on siding aren’t just dirt — they’re living organisms like algae and mildew that feed on your home’s surfaces. Blasting them with high pressure can strip paint, crack siding, and force water behind the walls.

Our soft wash process uses professional-grade cleaning solutions applied at low pressure to kill growth at the root, then rinses your home clean. The result lasts significantly longer than pressure washing alone, and it’s safe for vinyl, brick, stucco, Hardie board, and painted surfaces.

FAQ

Common questions

Is soft washing safe for my plants?

Yes. We pre-soak landscaping, protect delicate plants, and rinse everything thoroughly when we finish.

How long do results last?

Most homes stay clean for 2–4 years, depending on shade and moisture. Soft washing kills growth at the root instead of just knocking the surface layer off.
