Service Overview

Professional soft washing in Southern California.

Soft washing pairs specialized low-pressure equipment with biodegradable cleaning solutions to gently break down algae, mildew, oxidation, and surface staining on materials that can't take high pressure. It's the correct method for painted stucco, vinyl and HardiePlank siding, wood, awnings, screens, and painted trim.

The cleaning solutions do the work chemically, so we can rinse the surface at a fraction of the pressure of a traditional wash. The result is a deeper, longer-lasting cleaning than pressure alone can produce — with none of the paint chipping, gouging, or streaking that comes from putting a pressure washer to a delicate surface.

Choosing soft washing when it's the right method is how professional exterior cleaners protect the finish underneath while producing a genuinely clean result.

Important Note

Some surfaces should never be pressure washed.

Painted stucco, siding, wood, screens, roofing, and delicate trim can chip, splinter, streak, or lose their finish under high pressure. Soft Washing is the professional standard for these materials — it cleans deeper, protects the surface, and lasts longer than a pressure wash on the wrong material ever could.
