Soft Washing

For every surface that pressure would damage.

White siding with algae before and after soft washing

Soft Washing

Cedar shake, stucco, painted clapboard, older trim and anything brittle. The cleaner does the work and the water only rinses it away, so the surface stays intact and stays clean far longer than it would after a blast job.

Pressure matched to the surface, not cranked to max

Safe on cedar, stucco and painted wood

Beds soaked down before we mix anything

Growth killed at the root, not just moved

Questions

Common questions

What is soft washing?

Low pressure and the right cleaner. The cleaner does the work and the water only rinses it away, so the surface stays intact and stays clean far longer than it would after a blast job.

Which surfaces need soft washing instead of pressure?

Cedar shake, stucco, painted clapboard, older trim and anything brittle. If pressure would mark it, it gets soft washed.

Will it damage my paint?

No. Pressure is what lifts and chalks paint. A low pressure wash with the correct mix removes the growth that was shortening the life of the finish.

Does it kill the algae or just move it?

It kills it at the root. Blasting only moves it, which is why it comes back faster afterwards.

Is it safe for plants?

Beds get soaked down before we mix anything and rinsed again when we finish.

How long does it last?

Two to three years on most houses, less on a heavily shaded wall that never dries out.
