Wouldn’t you want your House Washing to be cleaner, and to last longer? The exterior of your house is constantly exposed to the elements. Over time, dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and pollen build up, leaving the siding stained and discolored. These contaminants can cause long-term damage if left untreated, leading to costly repairs. Regular house washing keeps your home looking beautiful and protects it from deterioration.
Many homeowners assume power washing is the best way to clean their home’s exterior. While power washing might quickly remove surface grime, it can strip away protective coatings, damage siding, and force water into cracks, leading to mold growth and structural issues. Soft washing offers a gentler, longer-lasting alternative that safely cleans and preserves your home’s exterior.
Why Do Homes Get Dirty So Quickly?
Different environmental factors contribute to a home’s buildup of dirt and stains:
- Mold and Mildew Growth – Common in humid areas, these contaminants spread quickly on siding, leaving unsightly stains.
- Algae and Green Streaks – Thrive in shaded areas, especially on vinyl siding.
- Pollution and Dust – Wind carries airborne pollutants that stick to exterior surfaces.
- Bug Nests and Spider Webs – Insects love to create nests in corners, eaves, and shutters.
- Pollen and Tree Sap – Seasonal allergens and sticky residues cling to siding and gutters.
Without regular house washing, these contaminants don’t just make a home look dirty—they can also weaken the building materials and lead to long-term damage.
Soft Washing vs. Power Washing: What’s the Difference?
Power washing might seem like the fastest way to clean a home, but high-pressure water can cause more harm than good. Blasting water at high speeds can strip paint, damage siding, crack stucco, and force moisture behind materials. This overly aggressive approach leads to hidden mold growth, wood rot, and premature aging of your home’s exterior.
Why Power Washing is Risky
- High pressure can loosen siding and shingles.
- Water can be forced into cracks, leading to mold and rot.
- It removes protective coatings from wood, vinyl, and stucco.
- It doesn’t kill mold, mildew, or algae—it only removes surface stains.
Why Soft Washing is the Better Choice
Soft Washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses biodegradable cleaning solutions to break down dirt, dissolve stains, and kill mold, mildew, and algae at the root. Instead of blasting contaminants away, our gentle but effective method lifts them off surfaces safely and effectively.
Key Benefits of Soft Washing for House Washing:
- No Damage to Siding or Paint – Uses low-pressure water instead of forceful streams.
- Eliminates Mold and Algae at the Source – Prevents regrowth for a longer-lasting clean.
- Uses 2/3 Less Water – Eco-friendly and conserves resources.
- Lasts 3–6 Times Longer – Keeps homes cleaner for extended periods.
- Safe for All Exterior Surfaces – Works on vinyl, brick, stucco, wood, and more.
Our fresh, clean homes stay cleaner for years, whereas power washed homes often need frequent re-cleaning.
How Soft Washing Your House Works
Superior SoftWash uses an authentic 12-volt battery-operated agricultural sprayer system to gently apply our specialized cleaning solution. This biodegradable, water-based formula safely breaks down dirt, mold, and mildew without the need for excessive water pressure.
Our House Washing Process:
- Apply the Specialized Solution – This emulsifies dirt, pollen, and contaminants.
- Kill Mold, Algae, and Mildew – Our formula eliminates 99.9% of organic growth at the source.
- Break Down Cobwebs & Bug Nests – Removes hidden buildup often missed by traditional cleaning.
- Rinse at Low Pressure – Unlike power washing, we use gentle water flow to rinse everything away safely.
The result? A cleaner, sanitized exterior that lasts 3–6 times longer than power washing—without the noise, damage, or wasted water.
House Washing for Different Types of Siding
Not all exteriors consist of the same material, and using the wrong cleaning method can cause permanent damage. Soft washing ensures the right balance of deep cleaning and material protection for any surface.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl is durable but prone to algae, mold, and dirt streaks. Power washing can crack panels, loosen siding, or force water behind the material, leading to trapped moisture and mold growth. Our cleaning method removes stains without warping or water intrusion.
Brick Homes
Brick surfaces trap dirt and mildew in crevices, making them difficult to clean. High-pressure washing erodes mortar joints, causing cracks and instability over time. Soft washing gently cleans brick while preserving mortar and structural integrity.
Stucco and Dryvit
These materials are highly porous and easily damaged by power washing—high-pressure water chips stucco and forces moisture inside, leading to serious damage. We can effectively clean without compromising the delicate finish.
Wood and Painted Surfaces
When exposed to high-pressure water, wood siding, shutters, and trim lose their protective coating. This pressure can lead to premature paint peeling and wood rot. Soft washing cleans without stripping paint or harming the wood’s surface.
Our gentler approach is safe and effective for all home exteriors, ensuring a deep clean without the risks associated with power washing.
An Eco-Friendly Approach to House Washing
More homeowners are looking for sustainable, non-toxic cleaning solutions. Power washing wastes thousands of gallons of water per cleaning and often uses harsh chemicals. Soft washing is a greener alternative that minimizes water use while avoiding harmful runoff.
Superior SoftWash uses biodegradable, water-based cleaning solutions that naturally break down, making them safe for landscaping, pets, and nearby water sources. Our process uses 2/3 less water than traditional pressure washing, making it an environmentally responsible choice.
