Soft-wash house washing.
The right way to clean a home's exterior — low-pressure, surface-safe chemistry that lifts mildew and algae without scarring paint, granules, or caulk lines. We use soft-wash by default on every vertical surface and reserve high pressure for flat concrete only.
Protected surfaces
- Vinyl sidingNo scuffing, no oxidation lines
- Painted wood sidingPreserves stain + caulk lines
- StuccoNo etching or surface scarring
- Painted sidingHolds factory finish longer
- Asphalt shingle roofsStrips black streaks without lifting granules
Method
Chemistry, not pressure.
The chemical mix does the work; the pressure is just the rinse. Side-by-side with the naive approach, the difference shows up on day one and again on the warranty card a year later.
- Pump-and-metered application at under 200 PSI — below the threshold that scars paint
- Biodegradable surfactant blend clings to mildew, algae, pollen, and spider-web residue
- Active dwell time of 5–10 minutes lets chemistry lift biofilm without scrubbing
- Low-pressure garden-hose rinse — never a wand pressed to the surface
- 3,000+ PSI strips paint, fuzzes cedar grain, and lifts shingle granules
- Forces water behind siding and into window frames — hidden damage months later
- Etches stucco, chews up mortar joints, and leaves tiger-stripe oxidation lines
- Voids most manufacturer warranties on painted siding and asphalt roofs
Expected results
What a soft-washed home looks like — and how long it lasts.
Day-of brightness is the headline, but the real payoff is the months after: soft-wash chemistry continues to break down biofilm long after the rinse water dries.
Soft-wash chemistry keeps working in the weeks after the wash — biofilm regrowth is delayed, not paused.
