Gentle Clean. Tough Results.
Soft Wash Exterior Cleaning — Fort Wayne, Indiana
Soft washing uses low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove mold, mildew, algae, and grime from your home's exterior. Unlike pressure washing, soft washing won't damage siding, strip paint, or force water behind your walls. Safe for vinyl, brick, stucco, wood, and roof shingles.
What Is Soft Washing?
Low Pressure. High Results.
Soft washing is the smarter alternative to pressure washing. Instead of blasting surfaces with 3,000+ PSI water that can etch concrete, tear siding, and ruin roof shingles, soft washing applies cleaning solutions at garden-hose pressure. The solution does the work — breaking down mold, mildew, algae, and organic stains at the molecular level. Then we rinse with low pressure. Your surfaces come clean without the damage risk.
Pressure Washing
High pressure (1,000-3,500 PSI). Blasts away dirt but can damage siding, strip paint, force water behind walls, and ruin roof shingles. Risky for older homes.
Soft Washing
Low pressure (40-60 PSI). Cleaning solution breaks down mold, mildew, and algae. Safe for all surfaces. Longer-lasting results because it kills the growth at the root, not just blasts it off.
The Difference
Pressure washing is like using a sledgehammer. Soft washing is like using the right tool for the job. For homes, soft washing is almost always the better choice.
Surfaces We Soft Wash
Safe for Every Exterior Surface
Vinyl Siding
Removes green algae, black mold streaks, and oxidation without damaging the vinyl or forcing water behind panels.

Cleans without etching or splintering the wood. Prepares surfaces for staining or sealing.

How We Soft Wash Your Home
Inspection & Prep
We inspect your exterior, identify surface types, cover plants and delicate areas, and mix the right cleaning solution for your specific needs.
Apply Cleaning Solution
We apply the soft wash solution from the ground up using low-pressure equipment. The solution clings to the surface and breaks down organic growth.
Dwell Time
The solution needs 10-15 minutes to work. During this time, mold, mildew, and algae are being broken down at the root level.
Low-Pressure Rinse
We rinse with low-pressure water — about the force of a garden hose. The dead organic matter slides right off, leaving a clean surface.
