Soft washing uses very low pressure (typically 150-300 PSI) plus a cleaning blend to break down organics; pressure washing relies on 1,300 PSI + to blast soils away. Soft wash is safe for siding, trim, and other delicate surfaces, while high pressure is best reserved for hardscape.

Plan on a thorough exterior wash about once a year. Homes under trees, near the ocean, or in humid climates may need a touch-up every 6–12 months to keep algae and mold from staining.

Not when applied correctly. We pre-wet and, if needed, cover landscaping, keep pets indoors, and rinse everything down after the job. Industry guidance shows that professional soft washing is plant-safe when those precautions are followed.

No—low pressure prevents water from being forced behind panels, and the solution lifts grime instead of scouring it. In contrast, misused high-pressure spray can dent aluminum or strip paint and caulk.

No. Just close windows, clear the driveway, and ensure an outdoor water spigot is on—we’ll handle the rest and text you before we leave.

A standard 2-story home usually takes 2–4 hours, depending on square footage and soil level. Extra-large homes or heavy buildup can extend the visit.

Light rain is no problem; the cloud cover can actually help the solution dwell longer. We only reschedule for downpours, high winds, or lightning.

Expect that “just-washed” look to hold six months to a year—or longer—because the cleaning blend leaves a micro-residue that slows algae regrowth. Heavy shade, pollen, or coastal salt can shorten that cycle.
