Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a gentle cleaning method that uses low-pressure water and a biodegradable cleaning solution to remove dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and other organic growth. Unlike pressure washing, it does not blast or damage surfaces.
2. How is soft washing different from power washing?
Power washing uses high-pressure water that can erode wood, crack PVC, or strip shingles. Soft washing uses about the pressure of a garden hose, combined with our Superior Secret Sauce cleaning solution, for safe and long-lasting results.
3. Is soft washing safe for my home?
Yes. Our process is designed to protect delicate surfaces such as siding, shingles, fences, and decks. We never use the blasting force of a pressure washer.
4. What makes your cleaning solution special?
We use a water-based, biodegradable solution that emulsifies dirt, kills mold, mildew, algae, fungus, moss, and lichens, and even breaks down spider webs and bug nests. It is safe when applied correctly and more effective than water alone.
5. Will your process harm my landscaping or pets?
We take precautions to keep your plants and pets safe. Our technicians rinse and protect landscaping before, during, and after the cleaning process.
6. How long will the results last?
Our soft washing lasts three to six times longer than pressure washing. Most of our clients enjoy four years of clean surfaces before needing another treatment. Roof cleaning is backed by our 5-Year Clean-Roof Guarantee.
7. How often should I have my home soft washed?
For most homes in Maryland, every three to four years is enough to maintain a fresh look. Roofs may last even longer between treatments because of our guarantee.
8. Can soft washing remove mold, algae, and moss completely?
Yes. Our Superior Secret Sauce kills organic growth at the root. Pressure washing only removes the surface stains, but soft washing sanitizes so it does not return quickly.
9. Does soft washing affect my roof warranty?
No. In fact, many shingle manufacturers recommend soft washing because it protects granules and prevents premature roof wear. Power washing, on the other hand, can void warranties due to damage.
10. How much does soft washing cost?
Prices vary depending on the size of the property and the services needed. While soft washing may cost a little more upfront than pressure washing, it lasts much longer, saves water, and avoids costly repairs from damage.
11. Do you offer fence and deck staining too?
Yes. After soft washing wood fences or decks, we can apply professional staining to restore color and add protection against sun and moisture.
12. Can I soft wash my house myself?
We do not recommend it. Professional soft washing requires specialized equipment, cleaning solutions, and safety training. Our team is certified, experienced, and able to deliver safe, lasting results without risk to you or your property.
