What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning process that combines specialized equipment with professional-grade cleaning solutions to kill and remove algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, dirt, and organic stains.

Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing cleans surfaces without causing damage to paint, stucco, wood, siding, roofing materials, or decorative finishes.

Soft washing is recommended by manufacturers for many delicate surfaces and provides longer-lasting results by treating the root cause of staining — not just rinsing the surface.

Soft Washing FAQs

How much does soft washing cost in Houston?

Pricing depends on home size, surface condition, and accessibility. Most single-story homes range $350–$650 and larger two-story homes $550–$1,000. We provide free on-site quotes with no minimum charge.

Is soft washing safe for painted surfaces?

Yes. Soft washing is specifically designed to clean painted and delicate surfaces safely, using low pressure and biodegradable solutions that lift grime without stripping paint or etching stucco.

How long do results last?

Most homes stay visibly cleaner for 12–24 months depending on environmental conditions. Because we kill mold and algae at the root, results last far longer than a standard water rinse.

Do you use bleach?

We use professional cleaning solutions formulated to kill algae, mold, and mildew while protecting surrounding landscaping. Plants are pre-wet, covered, and rinsed, with zero plant-damage claims to date.

What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

Pressure washing uses high-PSI water for hard surfaces like concrete and brick. Soft washing uses low pressure under 500 PSI plus detergents for delicate surfaces like siding, stucco, and roofs. We match the method to the material.

Should I soft wash before painting?

Yes. Removing mildew, dirt, and chalking lets primer and paint bond properly for maximum durability. Pre-paint soft washing is included with all our exterior painting projects.
