Softwashing

Softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, mold, mildew, and stains from siding, roofs, and other delicate surfaces without causing damage.

Why Professional Softwashing?

Safe for all siding types including vinyl, stucco, and wood
Kills algae, mold, and mildew at the root — not just surface cleaning
Results last 4–6x longer than pressure washing alone
No risk of water intrusion or surface damage
Eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions
Restores original curb appeal

Our Softwashing Process

1
Pre-Treatment Inspection

We assess the surface type, staining, and areas of concern to select the right cleaning solution concentration.

2
Surface Pre-Rinse

Surrounding plants, landscaping, and surfaces are pre-wetted and protected before any chemicals are applied.

3
Solution Application

Our biodegradable soft wash solution is applied at low pressure, saturating the surface and killing biological growth at the root.

4
Dwell & Rinse

The solution is allowed to dwell for optimal effectiveness, then thoroughly rinsed away with low-pressure water.

Softwashing by City

Our local pros understand the unique conditions of your city — climate, home types, and seasonal challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
