Gentle House Washing with Softwashing Expertise
Our Comprehensive Softwashing Process for Sparkling Homes
At A+ Exterior Cleaning, we take pride in our gentle and effective house washing process, which is centered around the innovative technique known as “softwashing.” This method ensures the thorough cleaning of your home’s exterior while preserving its integrity and beauty.
Surface Assessment
Before we begin, our expert team conducts a detailed assessment of your home's exterior surfaces. This assessment helps us identify any areas with heavy dirt, mildew, algae, or stains that require special attention.
Customized Softwashing Solution
Based on our assessment, we formulate a tailored softwashing solution designed to address your home's unique cleaning needs. Our proprietary blend of cleaning agents, combined with low-pressure water, gently break down and remove dirt, grime, and contaminants.
Gentle Softwashing Application
The heart of our process lies in the application of softwashing. Chris uses specialized equipment to apply the cleaning solution evenly across your home's surfaces. This gentle approach ensures a thorough clean without causing any harm or damage.
Final Rinse and Inspection
Once the softwashing process is complete, we conduct a final rinse using clean water to remove any remaining cleaning solution or residue. Our meticulous inspection ensures that your home's exterior surfaces are flawless, enhancing its overall curb appeal.
House washing matched to the exterior
Exterior siding can collect pollen, dust, algae, mildew, cobwebs, and traffic residue. Vinyl, fiber cement, stucco, painted wood, metal, and cedar do not share the same tolerance for pressure or cleaning products. A+ Exterior Cleaning evaluates the material and visible condition before selecting a house-washing process.
Why soft washing differs from pressure washing
House soft washing relies on lower pressure with a treatment selected for the siding and the type of buildup. Pressure washing relies more heavily on mechanical force and is generally better suited to durable hard surfaces. Using the wrong method can mark siding, disturb paint, force water into gaps, or damage older materials.
Preparing for a house-washing visit
- Close windows and doors and identify any known leaks or loose exterior materials.
- Move appropriate furniture, decorations, and planters away from work areas.
- Tell the provider about sensitive plants, ponds, pet areas, and exterior electrical concerns.
- Ask which surfaces are included and how runoff will be managed.
- Review the completed work and any areas that require repair rather than cleaning.
Driveways, patios, and walkways may need a separate pressure washing assessment. To discuss your siding and service area, request a free estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing a house?
Pressure washing uses greater water pressure and is generally reserved for durable surfaces. House soft washing uses lower pressure with a treatment chosen for siding and organic buildup. The appropriate process depends on whether the exterior is vinyl, stucco, painted wood, fiber cement, or another material.
How should landscaping and pets be protected during house washing?
The provider should explain the products being used, follow label directions, protect or rinse appropriate landscaping, manage runoff, and identify when people and pets may safely return to the work area. Homeowners should disclose sensitive plants, ponds, and pet-access areas before service.
