Soft washing removes the growth instead of just blasting the surface
Low-pressure treatment that kills algae and mildew at the root.
About our soft washing service
Not everything on a building can take high pressure. Stucco, painted trim, older vinyl, wood, and roofing all get damaged by force — and force isn't what actually kills organic growth anyway. Soft washing solves both problems by doing the work chemically at low pressure.
A cleaning solution is applied, given time to break down the algae, mildew, and bacteria, and then rinsed away gently. Because the growth is killed rather than knocked off, surfaces stay clean noticeably longer than they do after a straight pressure wash.
Who this is for
- Homes with stucco, Hardie board, older vinyl, or painted wood
- Properties with green or black growth returning quickly after past cleanings
- Roofs showing dark streaks that must not be pressure washed
- Shaded north-facing walls that stay damp and grow algae fast
What our soft washing service covers
Every job follows the same sequence so nothing gets skipped.
Surface and growth ID
We identify what's growing and what it's growing on so the solution strength is right.
Landscape protection
Plants, beds, and delicate fixtures are pre-wet and protected before application.
Solution application
Applied at low pressure with even coverage — no gouging, no pressure lines.
Controlled dwell time
The solution is given the time it needs to actually kill growth rather than just bleach it.
Gentle rinse
Thorough low-pressure rinse of the surface and everything below it.
Post-rinse of plantings
Landscaping gets rinsed again on the way out.
Why soft washing is worth doing
Results last longer
Killing growth at the root delays regrowth compared to mechanically removing it.
Nothing gets damaged
Low pressure means no forced water behind siding, no etched stucco, no stripped paint.
Healthier surfaces
Mildew and algae hold moisture against building materials. Removing them reduces long-term deterioration.

Soft Washing questions
The questions we get asked most about this service.
Yes, with proper process. We pre-wet landscaping, control overspray, and rinse plantings again afterward.
Pressure washing uses force to remove buildup. Soft washing uses a cleaning solution at low pressure to kill organic growth. Different problems, different tools.
Soft washing is specifically chosen for surfaces that high pressure would harm, including painted trim and siding.
It depends heavily on shade, moisture, and tree cover. Shaded, damp elevations always come back faster than sunny ones.
Often booked together
These pair naturally with the work above — most properties need more than one method.
