Low-pressure exterior wash

Soft washing in Southwest Florida.

Mold, mildew, and algae cleared off stucco, siding, soffits, and screens with low pressure and a cleaning solution, never a high-pressure blast that damages the surface.

Southwest Florida gives mold and algae everything they need. Heat, humidity, salt air off the Gulf, and a rainy season that runs for months leave a green or black film creeping across north-facing stucco, painted siding, soffits, and pool-cage screens. Left alone it spreads, holds moisture against the surface, and starts to stain what it grows on.

Soft washing clears it without wrecking the surface underneath. Rather than blasting the wall with high pressure, we apply a cleaning solution that kills the mold, mildew, and algae at the root, let it dwell, then rinse it away at low pressure. The growth comes off and stays gone longer, because we killed it instead of knocking the top layer loose. It is the same gentle method behind our roof washing, tuned each time to the surface in front of us.

High pressure has its place on hard flat surfaces like driveways, pavers, and travertine, which is what our pool deck and paver cleaning is for. Aimed at stucco, paint, soffits, or screens, that same force drives water behind the finish, etches the surface, and stretches or tears screen mesh. Delicate surfaces call for low pressure, and that is the whole idea of soft washing.

In this climate the growth always comes back, so a one-time wash is a reset, not a cure. Most homes here stay ahead of it on a recurring plan, the same rhythm that keeps their glass clear, and every visit is backed by our 365-day guarantee.

What’s included

  • Mold, mildew, and algae killed at the root

    We treat the organic growth with a cleaning solution that kills it rather than just rinsing the top layer, so it takes far longer to green back up.

  • Stucco, siding, soffits, and screens

    The delicate exterior surfaces high pressure would damage: painted and stucco walls, soffits and fascia, and pool-cage or lanai screen enclosures.

  • Low-pressure, surface-safe rinse

    Everything comes off at a pressure closer to a strong garden hose than a pressure washer, so paint, coatings, and screen mesh stay intact.

  • Plants and landscaping protected

    We pre-wet and rinse the beds around the house so the solution never sits on your landscaping, and pets stay inside until the surfaces are rinsed and dry.

How it works

  1. 01

    Apply the cleaning solution

    We wet down the surrounding plants first, then coat the surface with a solution matched to what is growing on it, whether that is mold, mildew, or algae.

  2. 02

    Let it do the work

    The solution dwells long enough to kill the growth down to the surface, which is what keeps it from coming back in a few weeks instead of a few seasons.

  3. 03

    Rinse at low pressure

    A gentle, low-pressure rinse carries everything away and leaves the stucco, siding, or screens clean, with the landscaping rinsed down again behind us.

Common questions

What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high pressure and is right for hard flat surfaces like driveways, pavers, and concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution, and it is what delicate surfaces need: stucco, painted siding, soffits, roofs, and screens. Same crew, we just match the method to the surface.
Will soft washing damage my stucco, paint, or screens?
No, that is the reason it exists. The pressure is low, closer to a strong garden hose, so it never drives water behind the paint or blows out screen mesh the way a high-pressure blast can. The cleaning solution does the work, not brute force, so the surface is left clean and intact.
How often do Southwest Florida homes need soft washing?
It depends on shade and exposure, but our climate is hard on exteriors. Heat, humidity, and months of summer storms leave walls damp for days at a stretch, and north-facing or shaded sides go green first. Most homes here do well on a yearly or twice-yearly rhythm, and we often fold it into a recurring plan so it happens before the film ever shows.
Is the cleaning solution safe for my plants and pets?
Handled correctly, yes. We pre-wet the landscaping before we start and rinse it down afterward, so the solution is diluted and never left to sit on your beds. We ask that pets stay inside while we work and until the surfaces are rinsed and dry.
Can you soft wash my pool cage and lanai screens?
Yes, and screens are a perfect example of why low pressure matters. A pressure washer can stretch or tear screen mesh, while soft washing lifts the mildew and salt film off the screen without harming it. If you want the framing and floor handled too, we pair it with lanai cleaning.
