Full Soft Washing Service

Every soft wash job uses the right chemistry and the right pressure for your surface type — no shortcuts, no damage.

🧴

Biodegradable Chemicals

Our eco-conscious soft wash solutions are biodegradable, plant-safe when diluted correctly, and break down rapidly in the environment. No harsh chemicals that linger in soil or runoff.

🧫

Kills Growth at the Root

Unlike pressure washing, which removes visible growth but leaves the root organism intact, soft washing chemically neutralizes mould, algae, lichen, and moss at the source — preventing rapid regrowth.

🏡

All Delicate Surfaces

Stucco, EIFS, cedar and wood siding, vinyl, painted concrete, and roofing materials — any surface that requires gentle treatment gets exactly the right approach.

Longer-Lasting Results

Because the biological contaminant is killed rather than removed, soft-washed surfaces stay clean 2–4 times longer than pressure-washed surfaces under the same conditions.

The Smarter Clean

01
No Surface Damage Risk

High-pressure washing can crack stucco, strip paint, force water behind siding, and damage seals. Soft washing eliminates that risk entirely — surfaces are cleaned, not stripped.

02
Kills, Doesn't Just Clean

Pressure washing removes 80% of visible contamination but leaves roots intact for rapid regrowth. Soft washing achieves 100% kill of biological organisms, preventing rapid return.

03
Safe for Sensitive Surfaces

From painted Victorian-era wood siding to modern EIFS systems — soft washing is the only method that delivers professional results without risk on these materials.

04
Fewer Service Calls

Longer-lasting results mean you need professional cleaning less frequently. The combination of root-kill treatment and our optional residual inhibitor reduces service frequency significantly.

Soft Washing FAQs

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses biodegradable chemical solutions rather than high water pressure to clean surfaces. The chemicals kill and dissolve biological growth like mould, algae, and lichen at the root — while low pressure (similar to a garden hose) delivers and rinses the solution safely.

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (2,000–4,000+ PSI) to physically blast away dirt. Soft washing uses very low pressure (100–500 PSI) combined with specialized cleaning chemicals that kill biological growth chemically. Soft washing is safer for delicate surfaces and produces longer-lasting results because it kills the organism rather than just removing it temporarily.

Soft washing is ideal for surfaces that would be damaged by high pressure: painted exterior walls, wood and cedar siding, stucco, EIFS (exterior insulation systems), roofing materials, vinyl siding, and any surface with decorative coatings. It's also the recommended method for roof washing.

Because soft washing kills biological growth at the root rather than just removing the visible surface layer, results typically last 2–4 times longer than pressure washing. Most treated surfaces stay clean for 1–3 years depending on shade exposure and local conditions.

Yes. Our biodegradable soft wash solutions are diluted to concentrations safe for landscaping when applied properly. We wet all plants and garden beds before application and rinse them thoroughly after. We also use plant-safe solution formulations that break down rapidly.
