What is soft washing a house?

The Soft Washing Process

Soft washing involves using a low-pressure stream of water combined with a chlorine-based cleaning solution. This solution is carefully formulated with a low concentration of chlorine to effectively eliminate organic growth like mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria without causing any damage to your home’s surfaces. The cleaning agents work to break down the dirt and grime, which is then gently rinsed away, leaving your home’s exterior clean and refreshed.

The process is ideal for surfaces such as:

• Vinyl or Plastic Siding: Vinyl can warp or crack under intense pressure, making soft washing the preferred method.
• Stucco : These materials can be easily damaged by pressure washing, but soft washing ensures a thorough clean without risking the integrity of the surfaces.
• Windows and Screens: Soft washing is perfect for cleaning these delicate areas without the risk of shattering glass or damaging screen frames.
• Metal: Most metal surfaces clean very easily with a soft washing, pressure washing on the other hand can leave lines and sometimes damage the surface.

Benefits of Soft Washing

1. Longer Lasting Clean: The chlorine-based solution not only removes dirt and grime but also kills the spores that cause algae, mold, and mildew, preventing them from returning quickly.
2. Environmentally Friendly: Despite containing chlorine, the solution is low in concentration and safe for plants, animals, and your property when used by professionals.
3. Preserves Your Home’s Exterior: Since soft washing uses low pressure, it prevents damage that could shorten the lifespan of your home’s materials.
4. Cost-Effective: By preserving the integrity of your home’s exterior, soft washing can help you avoid costly repairs in the future.

How Often Should You Soft Wash Your House?

The frequency of soft washing will depend on factors like your local climate, the amount of shade around your home, and how much organic growth tends to accumulate. Generally, most homeowners find that soft washing every one to two years keeps their home looking fresh and clean. It also helps
