What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a specialized exterior cleaning method that uses low water pressure and targeted cleaning agents to safely clean surfaces that could be damaged by traditional high-pressure washing.

Unlike pressure washing, which relies on force to remove buildup, soft washing works by:

  • Applying biodegradable, surface-safe detergents

  • Allowing the solution to break down mold, mildew, algae, and grime

  • Gently rinsing away residue using controlled, low pressure

It’s ideal for cleaning fragile or finished surfaces without risking cracks, stripping, or water intrusion behind walls or under shingles.

When to Choose Soft Washing

Soft washing is the preferred method for a wide range of surfaces where high pressure would be too harsh or potentially damaging. These include:

  • Asphalt and architectural shingle roofs

  • Painted siding and trim

  • Vinyl and aluminum siding

  • Stucco and EIFS surfaces

  • Wood siding and composite materials

  • Screens, enclosures, and patio ceilings

  • Outdoor furniture and detailed woodwork

If your property has older or sealed finishes, soft washing ensures safe, effective cleaning without stripping protective coatings or harming the material.

Safe for landscaping

Our detergents are environmentally friendly and plant-safe when used correctly.

Soft washing is especially effective on roofs, where black streaks and algae growth are common and damaging if left untreated.

Our Soft Washing Process

Every job starts with an inspection of the surface, identifying what kind of buildup is present and what level of treatment is needed. From there, our soft wash process includes:

01

Application of biodegradable cleaning agents to kill mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria.

02

Dwell time to allow the solution to break down contaminants at their source.

03

Low-pressure rinse to remove debris, stains, and residual buildup.

04

Optional post-treatment to prevent early regrowth in high-moisture areas.

We take great care to protect landscaping, cover sensitive features, and leave your property cleaner, brighter, and safer—without damage.

Ideal Applications for Soft Washing

We use soft washing for many services, including:

  • Roof Cleaning: Safely removes black streaks, moss, and algae without lifting shingles.

  • Siding Washing: Cleans vinyl, wood, fiber cement, and stucco siding without peeling paint or gouging material.
