The Soft Washing Difference – Gentle and Effective Cleaning

Unlike high-pressure blasting that can strip paint or damage siding, our soft washing method uses a low-pressure water spray combined with specially formulated cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, and grime safely. Soft washing is much gentler on delicate surfaces like wood, vinyl, stucco, and glass, reducing the risk of damage or scratches—especially on window glass—compared to traditional pressure washing. It’s also an eco-friendly approach – the biodegradable cleaners we use not only wash away stains but also kill mold and mildew at the source. This means we’re not just rinsing off the surface; we’re treating the root of the problem. (While pressure washing can sometimes damage your home’s exterior, soft washing provides a safe, effective alternative that can even add value to your home.) By applying our cleansers and letting them dwell briefly, then gently rinsing, we ensure a deep clean without the high pressure that could harm your siding or landscaping.

From vinyl and wood siding to brick and stucco, our soft washing is effective on virtually every material. We even take care to cover and protect your plants and landscaping before we begin, and carefully move or protect outdoor furniture as needed. Both fence cleaning and window cleaning are available as part of our comprehensive exterior cleaning service, so the only thing we leave behind is a spotless home exterior.

Safe for All Types of Home Exteriors

Our residential house washing service is versatile and safe for all types of home exterior surfaces. We tailor our cleaning approach for each material to achieve optimal results:

  • Vinyl Siding: Removes algae, dirt, and oxidation without warping or cracking the panels.
  • Brick and Stone: Cleans porous brick walls and stone facades, washing away soot and biological growth while preserving mortar.
  • Stucco and Dryvit: Gentle cleaning to eliminate stains and mildew on stucco or EIFS, avoiding chips or etching on these delicate surfaces.
  • Wood Siding (Cedar, Logs, etc.): Soft wash treatment for wood clapboards or log homes, preventing high-pressure damage like splintering or water intrusion.
  • Painted Surfaces: Safe for painted siding or trim, restoring brightness without peeling the paint.
  • Windows: Professional window cleaning for sparkling, streak-free windows that enhance curb appeal and interior brightness.
  • Fences: Our soft washing method cleans and restores fences, improving their appearance and extending their longevity.

Concrete Cleaning and Maintenance

Concrete surfaces like driveways, walkways, and patios are constantly exposed to the elements, making them prone to collecting dirt, grime, and other materials that can cause deterioration over time. Our concrete cleaning services are designed to restore the look and functionality of your outdoor spaces. Using professional-grade equipment, our dedicated team removes stubborn stains and buildup, helping to prevent cracks and surface damage. Regular concrete cleaning not only keeps your walkways and driveways looking fresh but also ensures they remain safe and durable for years to come. At Squeegee Squad, we take pride in delivering top-quality washing services, using the best materials and techniques to guarantee your satisfaction and the long-term health of your concrete surfaces.

Gutter Cleaning and Maintenance

Proper gutter cleaning and maintenance are vital for protecting your property from water damage and costly repairs. When gutters become clogged with debris and contaminants, they can overflow, leading to foundation issues, roof leaks, and other serious problems. Our gutter cleaning services utilize specialized equipment to thoroughly remove leaves, dirt, and other debris, ensuring your gutters and downspouts function as they should. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your gutters but also safeguards your property from potential water-related damage. At Squeegee Squad, we make it easy for customers to plan their maintenance with free estimates and quotes, so you can keep your gutters in top shape and protect your investment.

Benefits of Professional House Washing

Keeping your home’s exterior clean isn’t just about appearances – it provides real practical benefits for homeowners. Our team’s hard work and dedication ensure quality results that truly make a difference. Professional house washing brings new life to your property, revitalizing its look and enhancing its overall appeal. Here are some key advantages of our professional house washing service:

  • Enhanced Curb Appeal: A thorough house wash instantly boosts your home’s curb appeal, making it look fresh and well-maintained. Grime, green algae streaks, or mildew stains can make a house look older and uncared for. By washing those away, your home can become the best-looking on the block. A clean driveway also contributes significantly to the overall fresh look of your home. (According to real estate experts, strong curb appeal can raise a property’s value by up to 7%honorcu.com.) Even if you’re not selling, it feels great to come home to a bright, clean house that neighbors and guests will admire.
  • Protects Your Home’s Value: Regular exterior cleaning protects your investment. By removing harmful mold, mildew, and dirt buildup, you prevent the gradual deterioration of siding, paint, and masonry. For example, algae and fungus growth on wood or shingles can trap moisture and lead to rot or damage over time. Our soft wash treatment prevents costly damage by stopping these organisms in their tracks – in fact, leaving mold and algae untreated on surfaces can shorten their lifespan significantly (by as much as 50% in some cases). Routine house washing extends the life of your siding and keeps your property value high.
  • Prevents Mold and Mildew Growth: The climate in Central Illinois is conducive to mold and mildew on exterior surfaces. Besides looking unsightly (those black or green patches), mildew can actually spread and even infiltrate into your home if left unchecked. Our house washing service not only washes off visible mildew but also kills mold spores and algae roots with our cleaning solution. This stops regrowth and keeps your home mold-free for longer. By eliminating the organic materials that mildew feeds on, we create an environment where mold and algae are much less likely to return.
  • Healthier Home Environment: Removing mold, pollen, and algae from your home’s exterior also leads to a healthier environment for your family. Mold and mildew can contribute to allergies and respiratory issues; by cleaning them away, you’ll improve the air quality around your home and reduce allergens. Professional house washing means fewer irritants on your walls, which can benefit those with asthma or sensitivities. A clean exterior also prevents dirt or mold from being tracked inside, promoting a healthier home overall.
  • Increased Energy Efficiency: (Bonus benefit) A cleaner home can even be more energy-efficient. Dark dirt or algae on siding can make surfaces absorb more heat. By keeping your exterior clean – even including your roof and gutters – you ensure reflective surfaces can do their job, potentially helping your home stay cooler in summer. While this is more of a bonus, it’s a nice perk of keeping the exterior spotless.

We stand behind our work and are committed to ensuring your complete satisfaction with every house washing service.
