What is soft washing and how is it different from pressure washing?
Soft washing is a gentle cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on high-pressure water that can damage delicate surfaces, soft washing is safe for roofs, siding, and other sensitive materials while still delivering exceptional cleaning results.

How often should I have my home’s exterior cleaned?
For optimal results and property maintenance, we recommend having your home’s exterior cleaned annually. However, this can vary based on factors like your property’s location, surrounding vegetation, and local weather conditions. Properties near the water or with significant tree coverage may benefit from more frequent cleaning, while others might need service every 18-24 months.
Is your cleaning process safe for my plants and landscaping?
Absolutely! We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that are safe for your plants, pets, and the environment. Our team takes extra precautions to protect your landscaping by pre-wetting plants, covering sensitive areas when necessary, and using biodegradable products that won’t harm your garden or lawn.

How long does a typical exterior cleaning job take?

What should I do to prepare my property before you arrive?
