House washing
Siding, trim and soffits cleaned with a low-pressure soft wash that removes algae, mildew and dirt.
About the job
Green streaks on the north wall, a gray film on the siding and black spots under the eaves are algae and mildew, not just dirt. Spraying them hard only spreads them around and can force water behind the siding. We soft wash instead: a cleaning solution at low pressure kills the growth, then we rinse everything.
Soft washing works on vinyl, fiber cement, stucco and painted wood. The solution is diluted sodium hypochlorite plus a surfactant that helps it cling to the wall. On your siding, it’s much weaker than household bleach. We wet your plants before we start and rinse them again when we finish.

Common questions
Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants and pets?
We wet your plants and lawn before we start, so they don’t soak up the cleaner, and rinse them again when we finish. Keep pets inside while we work and until everything is rinsed and dry. Tell us about a fish pond or a vegetable bed and we’ll cover it.
Do I need to be home?
No. Most customers aren’t. Leave the gates unlocked, close the windows and make sure the outdoor spigot works. We text you when we arrive and send photos when we’re done.
How long will my house stay clean?
Usually 1 to 2 years (example). Walls in the shade, near trees or close to the water grow algae back sooner. A yearly wash keeps it from building up.
