Our Softwashing Process

01

Surface Pre-Rinse

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

03

Solution Application

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

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

Softwashing FAQ for Tucson Homeowners

How often should Tucson homeowners get softwashing?
Given Tucson's intense uv at 2,389 ft elevation degrading all exterior finishes, most homeowners benefit from softwashing at least once a year. Post-monsoon flash flood and mud cleanup (July–Sept) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Tucson most need softwashing?
Adobe and territorial-style homes (architectural heritage of Tucson) and Stucco ranch homes throughout Pima County are the most common home types in Tucson 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.
