Soft Washing Services

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that relies on specialized biodegradable cleaning solutions rather than brute force to remove algae, mold, mildew, lichen, and dirt from exterior surfaces. While pressure washing operates at 3,000+ PSI, soft washing typically uses 100-500 PSI — roughly the same pressure as a garden hose — making it safe for surfaces that would be damaged by high pressure.

This technique is essential for vinyl siding, painted wood, stucco, EIFS, cedar shakes, asphalt shingles, and other delicate exterior materials. The cleaning solution does the heavy lifting: it kills organic growth at the root, which means surfaces stay cleaner longer than with pressure washing alone.

Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing

Not sure which service you need? Here’s a quick guide:

Use pressure washing for:

  • Concrete, brick, stone, and other hard surfaces
  • Driveways, sidewalks, and patios
  • Commercial parking areas and storefronts

Use soft washing for:

  • Vinyl, wood, and fiber cement siding
  • Roofing shingles
  • Painted surfaces and delicate materials
  • Screen enclosures and pergolas

Soft Washing FAQs

Is soft washing safe for my roof?
Yes. Soft washing is the method recommended by shingle manufacturers (including GAF and CertainTeed) for cleaning asphalt roofs. High-pressure washing can void your roof warranty.
Are the chemicals safe for plants and pets?
We use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning solutions. We pre-wet landscaping before treatment and rinse thoroughly afterward. Our solutions break down quickly and will not harm your plants, grass, or pets.
How long do soft washing results last?
Because soft washing kills organic growth at the root, results typically last 2-3 times longer than pressure washing alone — often 1-3 years depending on environmental factors.
