Softwashing FAQ for Newark Homeowners

How often should Newark homeowners get softwashing?
Given Newark's cold winters averaging 30°f with 28 inches of annual snowfall, most homeowners benefit from softwashing at least once a year. Winter ice and snow removal from dense urban properties often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Newark most need softwashing?
Victorian row houses and brownstones throughout Essex County and Brick colonials in suburban Millburn and South Orange are the most common home types in Newark and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
How is softwashing different from pressure washing?
Softwashing uses very low water pressure (similar to a garden hose) combined with cleaning agents to kill and remove biological growth. Pressure washing relies on force alone, which can damage surfaces and doesn't kill the organisms causing staining.
Is softwashing safe for my plants and landscaping?
Yes. We pre-wet all landscaping and use biodegradable solutions. We also rinse surrounding areas thoroughly after treatment.
How long do softwash results last?
Softwashing results typically last 2–5 years depending on your climate and shade conditions, significantly longer than pressure washing alone.
Can you softwash a roof?
Absolutely. Softwashing is actually the recommended method for roof cleaning — it removes black algae streaks without voiding roofing warranties or damaging shingles.
