Safely Remove Mold, Algae & Organic Staining Without Damaging Your Home
Over time, your home's exterior collects algae, mildew, mold, dirt, pollen, and other organic contaminants that diminish curb appeal and continue to spread if left untreated. Our house soft washing service safely cleans your home's exterior using professional cleaning solutions and low-pressure application methods designed specifically for delicate surfaces such as vinyl siding.
Many homeowners believe the exterior of their home should be cleaned using high-pressure water. In reality, excessive pressure can damage vinyl siding, force water behind exterior panels, remove oxidation, and shorten the life of exterior finishes.
Our soft washing process cleans differently. Instead of relying on pressure alone, we apply a properly diluted sodium hypochlorite cleaning solution combined with professional surfactants that break down algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, pollen, and other organic staining directly at the source. After allowing the solution to dwell for the appropriate amount of time, the surface is thoroughly rinsed using low-pressure water.
Because the contaminants are chemically treated before rinsing, soft washing produces a more complete and longer-lasting clean than pressure alone while significantly reducing the risk of surface damage.
Our house washing service is ideal for vinyl siding and other delicate exterior surfaces that require effective cleaning without unnecessary pressure.
Removal of algae, mildew, mold, dirt, pollen, spider webs, and organic staining from vinyl siding using a low-pressure soft washing process.
Cleaning of exterior trim, fascia boards, soffits, and similar architectural features.
Removal of surface dirt and organic staining from the outside of gutter systems. Interior gutter cleaning is available as a separate service.
Cleaning of exposed foundation surfaces where appropriate.
Removal of everyday environmental buildup from exterior residential surfaces suitable for soft washing.
We begin by inspecting your home's exterior to identify areas with algae, mildew, heavy organic staining, oxidation concerns, delicate surfaces, and other conditions that require special attention.
Nearby plants and landscaping are pre-watered when appropriate, sensitive areas are protected, and the work area is prepared before cleaning begins.
A professional soft wash solution consisting primarily of sodium hypochlorite and specialized surfactants is applied at an appropriate dilution based on the level of organic growth present.
The solution is allowed to remain on the surface long enough to break down algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, and other organic contaminants before rinsing begins.
The entire surface is thoroughly rinsed using low-pressure water, safely removing both the cleaning solution and the loosened contaminants.
Once cleaning is complete, the exterior is inspected for consistency, surrounding landscaping is rinsed if necessary, and the work area is cleaned before equipment is removed.
Most black streaks and green discoloration on siding aren't dirt — they're living organic growth such as algae, mildew, and mold. High-pressure water may temporarily remove surface staining, but soft washing eliminates the organisms themselves, helping keep your home cleaner for longer.
Pressure washing relies primarily on high water pressure to remove contaminants. Soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions to break down algae, mildew, mold, and other organic growth before gently rinsing the surface with low pressure.
No. When performed correctly, soft washing is specifically designed for surfaces that should not be cleaned with high pressure. Proper dilution ratios, application methods, and rinsing techniques are used throughout.
When applied correctly and rinsed according to industry best practices, professional soft washing solutions effectively remove organic growth while minimizing risk to surrounding surfaces. Landscaping is also pre-rinsed and post-rinsed where appropriate.
Most homes benefit from exterior cleaning every one to three years depending on tree coverage, shade, moisture levels, and the amount of algae or mildew present.
Yes. Soft washing is specifically designed to remove algae, mold, mildew, and other organic staining commonly found on residential siding.
A clean exterior immediately improves curb appeal while removing the organic growth that can continue spreading over time. Our soft washing process is designed to safely clean your home without relying on excessive pressure, leaving your siding cleaner and helping it stay cleaner longer.
