What is soft washing?

2 min read

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to safely remove mold, mildew, algae, and dirt from exterior surfaces that high pressure could damage.

How it works

A cleaning solution is applied that breaks down mold, mildew, algae, and grime at the root rather than just blasting the surface. It is then rinsed away at low pressure, which lifts the buildup without the force that can harm paint, shingles, and trim.

What it is good for

Soft washing suits siding, roofs, fences, and other surfaces with visible mold, mildew, or algae staining. Because it treats the growth rather than just rinsing it, the results tend to last longer than pressure alone.

Common questions

Is soft washing safe for my roof?+

Yes. Soft washing is designed for surfaces like roofs where high pressure would damage shingles. It cleans with solution and low pressure instead.

Does soft washing last longer than pressure washing?+

Often, because it treats mold and algae at the root rather than just blasting the surface, so regrowth is slower.
