What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a gentle, low-pressure exterior cleaning method designed for surfaces that can’t withstand the force of traditional pressure washing — such as vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, roofing shingles, and screens. Instead of relying on high water pressure to blast away grime, soft washing uses biodegradable detergents to break down and kill algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria at the root, then rinses the surface clean with low-pressure water.
The result: a deeper, longer-lasting clean that protects your home’s exterior rather than wearing it down.
Why Your Property Needs Soft Washing
- Prevents Surface Damage – Low-pressure application protects siding, paint, and roofing from cracking, stripping, or etching.
- Kills Growth at the Root – Our solutions eliminate algae, mold, and mildew spores rather than just rinsing away the surface layer, so results last significantly longer.
- Protects Your Investment – Regular soft washing prevents long-term deterioration caused by organic growth, saving you money on repairs and repainting.
- Improves Curb Appeal – A clean exterior instantly boosts your home’s appearance and market value.
- Healthier Living Environment – Removing mold, mildew, and allergens from your home’s exterior helps protect indoor air quality and your family’s health.
- Safe for Landscaping – Our eco-friendly detergents are formulated to be tough on grime but gentle on your plants, lawn, and surrounding environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is soft washing safe for all exterior surfaces?
Soft washing is specifically designed for surfaces that could be damaged by high-pressure cleaning, such as siding, stucco, and roofing. Our team assesses your property to determine whether soft washing or pressure washing is the right approach for each surface.
How long do soft washing results last?
Because soft washing kills mold, algae, and mildew at the root rather than just removing the surface layer, results typically last significantly longer than standard pressure washing — often 1–2 years depending on your climate and surroundings.
Is soft washing safe for my landscaping and pets?
Yes. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning solutions and take precautions to protect surrounding plants, grass, and outdoor living areas during the process.
How often should I have my home soft washed?
Most homes benefit from soft washing once a year, though properties in humid or shaded areas prone to algae and mold growth may need more frequent service.
What’s the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to physically blast away dirt and is best suited for hard, durable surfaces like concrete and pavers. Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean more delicate surfaces like siding and roofing.
