Soft Wash House Washing That Actually Gets the Grime Out

Dirt and algae don't show up overnight. They build up slowly over months and seasons until one day you look at your siding and wonder how it got so bad. That dark streaking and green-gray film you see on a lot of homes? That's organic growth - algae, mildew, and grime that just keeps spreading if you leave it alone.

Soft washing is how we handle it. Unlike pressure washing, soft washing uses low pressure combined with a cleaning solution that actually kills the organic growth at the source. That means it doesn't just look clean - it is clean. The solution breaks down the algae and built-up dirt so it rinses away without any risk of damaging the siding underneath.

The before side of this job shows exactly what we're talking about - heavy streaking and dark buildup across the entire face of the siding, running right down through the laps. It had clearly been a while. After the soft wash, the siding looks the way it's supposed to. Clean, even, and back to its actual color. No streaks, no residue, no damage.

A lot of homeowners don't realize that leaving algae and mildew sitting on siding can actually degrade the material over time. Getting it cleaned isn't just about curb appeal - it's basic maintenance that protects what you've already got. We take that seriously on every house we clean, no matter the size.
