Long-lasting results

Soft washing is designed to do more than just clean what you can see. By attacking mold, algae, and mildew at the source, our soft wash keeps your property cleaner for longer than standard high-pressure washes. The difference is the approach: instead of relying solely on pressure to remove surface buildup, soft washing focuses on treating the underlying organic growth to ensure results last.

Soft Wash Process Overview

Every property is different, so the soft washing process needs to be thoughtful and controlled. Here's how our process works, from evaluation through final rinse.

1

Site Evaluation and Preparation

Before any washing begins, we inspect all surfaces to identify: The material type, The level of contamination, and Surrounding landscaping and nearby areas. This step helps ensure the right approach is used for the surface being cleaned. During preparation, any sensitive plants, areas, and fixtures are covered and protected as needed. The goal here is to protect what needs protecting and set the job up for clean, safe results.

2

Solution Application

Once the site has been evaluated and prepared, we apply a bio-degradable cleaning solution carefully formulated to target mold, mildew, and lichen. We apply it using low-pressure equipment at a pressure comparable to a standard home garden hose. That low-pressure application is an important part of preventing damage. The method is designed to clean surfaces without aggressive force that could loosen materials, cause etching, or create unnecessary wear.

3

Dwell Time

After application, the solution is allowed to dwell for a specified period. This dwell time matters because it allows the solution to penetrate and break down organic growth, rather than merely removing surface dirt. In other words, the cleaning isn't rushed. The process is designed so the solution can do its job thoroughly before the rinse begins.

4

Gentle Rinse

Finally, all surfaces are lightly rinsed under low pressure. This gentle rinse safely washes away dirt and contaminants without etching or loosening materials. This final step is about leaving surfaces clean and clear without disrupting the materials you're trying to maintain.
