Our Professional Soft Washing Process
We follow a structured, multi-phase approach to ensure thorough and safe cleaning:
Initial Assessment
We inspect the property, identifying surface types (vinyl, stucco, painted wood, roof shingles), shaded or moisture-prone areas, and any fragile elements like screens or fixtures.
Eco-Friendly Detergent Application
A mixture of biodegradable cleaners—often sodium hypochlorite–based—is applied to target organic buildup. These solutions break down algae, mold, and mildew at their roots
Gentle Agitation
Soft bristle brushes are used to lightly agitate and loosen grime, ensuring the cleaning solution interacts with all crevices and textures.
Low-Pressure Rinse
We rinse with low-pressure water, dislodging embedded growth without harming surfaces
Final Inspection & Touch-Ups
A walk-around check ensures even coverage. Any resistant stains are spot-treated and rinsed again.
Thorough Clean-Up
We rinse surrounding plants, tape off sensitive areas during cleaning, and tidy all equipment—leaving your property and landscaping unharmed.
