Soft Washing Your Home

The Safe Way to Wash Your Home

House washing, or soft washing, is a low-pressure cleaning method that safely removes dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria using specialized cleaning solutions instead of force. It is the preferred and recommended way to clean siding, roofs, painted surfaces, and other delicate materials.

This page explains what soft washing is, how it’s different from pressure washing, what problems it solves, and how we protect your home, landscaping, and outdoor spaces while doing it.

Easy to Understand

What Soft Washing Is (In Simple Terms)

Soft washing uses low water pressure—about the same force as a garden hose—combined with professional cleaning solutions to gently clean exterior surfaces.

Instead of blasting dirt away, soft washing works by:

Think of it like washing your hands with soap instead of scraping them clean with sandpaper.

Surfaces That Should Be Soft Washed

Soft washing is the safest and most effective option for:

Vinyl siding

Painted siding

Stucco

Soffits and fascia

Roof shingles

Exterior trim

Gutters (outside surfaces)

Screens and enclosures

These materials can be permanently damaged by high pressure. Soft washing protects them while still delivering a deep clean.

Solves Real Issues

The Real Problems Soft Washing Solves

1

Mold, Mildew, and Algae That Keep Coming Back

If you’ve pressure washed siding before and noticed stains returning quickly, here’s why: pressure washing often removes the visible growth but does not kill it.

Soft washing treats the root of the problem. By killing mold and algae spores, surfaces stay cleaner much longer.

2

Streaks, Tiger Stripes, and Uneven Cleaning

High pressure on siding often leaves lines, shadows, and uneven results. Soft washing cleans evenly from top to bottom without streaking.

3

Fading and Surface Damage

Pressure can:

Soft washing avoids all of that.

4

Roof Damage and Shortened Roof Life

Roofs should never be pressure washed. High pressure can:

Soft washing safely removes black streaks, algae, and moss without harming shingles.

5

Health and Air Quality Issues

Mold and mildew release spores that travel through the air and collect around windows, doors, and outdoor living areas. Soft washing reduces these allergens safely.

Effective Cleaning

Why Chemicals Are Necessary (and Why That’s Not a Bad Thing)

Water alone can’t kill living growth. Mold, mildew, and algae are organisms, not just dirt.

Soft washing uses professional cleaning solutions that:

These solutions are applied carefully, allowed to work, and then thoroughly rinsed.

The key is how they’re used.

How We Protect Plants, Wood, and Outdoor Spaces

Soft washing is safe when done correctly. Our process includes built-in protection steps on every job.

Full Plant Pre-Rinse

2

Controlled Application

We apply only what’s needed, exactly where it’s needed. No flooding. No overspray.

3

Low Pressure at All Times

Our system relies on solution strength and dwell time—not force—so there’s no risk to siding, paint, or wood.

4

Thorough Rinse and Neutralization

All surfaces are rinsed completely. Plants receive a final rinse to remove any residue.

Surface Awareness

We adjust our approach depending on material, age, condition, and exposure. Every home is different.
