Soft Washing in Genesee & Oakland County, MI

Low pressure. Real results.

What soft washing is, and when it is the right call

Soft washing uses about the pressure of a garden hose combined with a cleaning solution made for the surface. Instead of blasting stains off, the solution breaks down algae, mildew, moss and lichen so they rinse away and are slow to come back.

It is the right method for vinyl and aluminum siding, painted wood, stucco, EIFS, brick with soft mortar, roof shingles, screened porches and outdoor furniture. Concrete and pavers get a different approach, which we cover on our concrete cleaning page.

What's included

How we do it

Our soft washing process

01

Identify the surface

Siding, stucco, painted wood and shingles each get a different mix and dwell time.

02

Protect

Landscaping is pre-wet and fixtures are covered.

03

Apply and dwell

The solution sits long enough to kill growth at the root.

04

Gentle rinse

A low-pressure rinse carries everything away.

Good to know

Before you book

Safe on soft surfaces

No etching, no stripped paint, no water forced behind siding.

Oxidation is extra

Chalky oxidation on old vinyl or aluminum siding does not wash off. Removing it is a separate restoration step that costs extra, and we will tell you up front if your siding has it.

Lasts longer

Killing growth at the root keeps surfaces clean longer than a rinse alone.
