Gentler exterior cleaning

When lower pressure makes more sense

Not every exterior surface should be cleaned with the same pressure. Soft washing uses a lower-pressure approach together with an appropriate cleaning process to address dirt and organic buildup on surfaces that need more care. The goal is to clean effectively without relying on aggressive pressure where it is not appropriate.

Houston's warm, humid climate can contribute to algae, mildew and organic growth on shaded or damp exterior surfaces. We look at the material and condition before choosing the cleaning method.

Common soft-washing applications

  • House exterior cleaning
  • Stucco when the surface and finish are suitable
  • Painted exterior surfaces when appropriate
  • Siding and similar materials
  • Areas with organic buildup that do not require high pressure

Soft washing vs. pressure washing

Pressure washing is generally better suited to durable hard surfaces such as concrete. Soft washing is intended for materials where lower pressure is preferable. We evaluate the surface rather than applying one method everywhere.
