House Washing (Soft Wash)

Low-pressure cleaning for siding, brick, stucco and trim that removes algae and mildew without forcing water behind your walls.

A house wash is not a pressure wash. High pressure on siding forces water behind the boards, strips paint and etches wood. Soft washing uses a cleaning solution and rinse pressure not much stronger than a garden hose, which removes the green and black growth on north-facing walls and under eaves where intown houses collect it most.

It works on vinyl, fiber cement, painted wood, brick, stucco and stone. We cover plants, pre-wet everything, and rinse until the water runs clear.

How the job goes

  1. Cover or pre-wet landscaping and close windows with you.
  2. Apply the soft wash solution from the ground up so nothing streaks.
  3. Let it dwell, then rinse from the top down at low pressure.
  4. Spot-treat stubborn areas by hand.
  5. Final rinse of plants, windows and walkways.

Common questions

Is soft washing safe for plants?

Yes when done properly. We pre-wet and cover plants, keep the solution off them, and rinse them again at the end.

How long does a house wash last?

Two to three years for most homes. Heavily shaded north walls may show growth sooner.

Will it remove the green on my north-facing wall?

That green is algae and it is exactly what a soft wash is for. It is gone the same day, not weeks later.
