Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing is ideal for surfaces that can be damaged by force, including:
Vinyl siding
Stucco
Asphalt shingles
Painted wood
Fencing (wood or vinyl)

How to prepare:
• Make sure an exterior water spigot is accessible
• Close windows and keep pets indoors while we work
• If possible, move vehicles away from the driveway/garage area
1) Walkaround + planning
We identify what needs cleaning, where staining is heaviest, and any delicate areas (painted surfaces, older siding, specialty trim). We also plan runoff and access so the job stays controlled and tidy.
2) Property protection
We pre-wet and protect nearby landscaping as needed and make sure outdoor items near the work zone are safe from overspray.
3) Soft wash treatment
We apply a low-pressure cleaning solution that breaks down organic growth and grime at the source—so you get a true clean, not just a temporary rinse.
4) Controlled rinse + detail work
We rinse with low pressure and detail the areas that typically hold staining (corners, shaded sides, soffits, and under eaves).
5) Final check + cleanup
We confirm results, clean up the area, and answer any questions before we leave.
We assess the condition of your home’s surfaces, including inspecting and preparing gutters as part of our comprehensive exterior cleaning process. We also protect landscaping, outdoor furniture, and delicate features. Our team ensures the security of your property during the inspection and preparation phase by following strict protocols and background-checked staff.
