Wondering whether your home needs a soft wash or a pressure wash? For nearly every surface on a Florida house, the answer is soft washing — and using high pressure on the wrong surface causes expensive damage. Soft washing is low-pressure, solution-based cleaning that safely removes mold, mildew, and algae from stucco, siding, screens, soffits, and other delicate surfaces without the force that cracks, etches, or strips them.
How we do it: The difference comes down to method. Soft washing applies biodegradable cleaning solutions at low pressure that kill mold, mildew, and algae at the root, then rinses them away safely. High pressure is reserved only for hard surfaces like concrete and pavers — never for siding, stucco, screens, or anything painted. We choose the correct approach for every surface and pre-treat, rinse, and protect your landscaping and plants throughout.
Soft washing is the right call for:
- Stucco, siding, and painted exteriors
- Soffits, fascia, and trim
- Pool screens and lanai enclosures
- Any delicate or growth-covered surface
The biggest advantage in Florida: because the growth is killed at the source instead of just blasted off the surface, the results stay clean far longer.
Maintenance plans: Soft-wash results typically last 6 to 12 months or more, but Florida humidity speeds regrowth and shaded or coastal homes need attention sooner — often twice a year. Our recurring maintenance plans keep your surfaces consistently clean on a sensible cadence and are available at a discount over one-off cleanings.
You get a safe, thorough clean that protects your home's surfaces and lasts — all backed by our Spotless Promise: if anything isn't perfect, we re-clean it free within 72 hours. We're licensed and insured, and every project begins with a free, exact, no-obligation estimate.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?+
Pressure washing uses high pressure for hard surfaces like concrete; soft washing uses low pressure plus cleaning solutions for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and screens. We use the right method for each surface.
Is it safe to pressure wash my roof?+
No — high pressure damages roofs. We soft wash roofs, which safely removes algae and black streaks at the root and protects your warranty.
How much does pressure washing cost?+
It depends on the surfaces and square footage — a driveway is very different from a full house-and-roof soft wash. We give you a free, exact quote up front.
How often should I wash my home's exterior?+
Soft-wash results on a roof or exterior typically last 6–12+ months; driveways do well about once a year. Florida's humidity speeds up regrowth, so coastal and shaded homes may want it more often.
Will it damage my plants or pavers?+
No — we pre-treat and rinse landscaping and use the correct low-pressure approach for each surface, so your plants, pavers, and screens are protected.
