Why not just pressure wash?

High pressure drives water behind siding, strips paint, and damages wood. Soft washing relies on the cleaner — not the pressure — to do the work.

Do I need this before a repaint?

Yes. Paint applied over dirty or mildewed siding fails within a year. A proper wash is always step one.

Our Process

Plan

Walk the property and note plants, outlets, and surfaces that need extra protection or a different approach.

Protect

Cover or rinse plants. Tape over outlets and fixtures that shouldn't get wet.

Wash

Apply biodegradable cleaner with a low-pressure spray. Let it dwell. Rinse from top to bottom.

Check

Walk the property again. Spot-clean anything that didn't release the first time.
