Frequently asked questions

How do you choose between soft washing and pressure washing?

We assess the material and condition first. Soft washing uses low pressure and a controlled solution for organic growth on suitable exterior surfaces. Pressure washing is reserved for durable hard surfaces—such as concrete, paths, patios, pavers, and some retaining walls—where higher-pressure water is appropriate.

Which surfaces are suitable?

Suitability depends on the surface and its condition. Soft washing is commonly used on homes, cladding, roofs where suitable, fences, and other exterior surfaces with organic growth. Pressure washing suits tougher hard landscaping. Not every surface is a fit for every method—that is part of the assessment.

What about plants, gardens, and surrounds?

We use plant-aware preparation and rinsing around sensitive areas. No exterior clean is completely risk-free, so preparation and care matter. Tell us about special plantings or concerns when you request a quote.

How long does a typical job take?

Timing depends on property size, access, surface types, and how much growth is present. After we understand the job, we can outline an expected window for your property.

How does pricing and quoting work?

Every property is different, so we quote from the surfaces and condition—not a one-size price list. Share photos and location through the Property Check form, or call, and we will recommend the right clean.

Will growth come back?

Soft washing treats organic growth at the source, which can mean a longer-lasting result than a surface-only blast. Recurrence still depends on exposure, shade, moisture, and property conditions. Maintenance cleans help keep the presentation where you want it.

Clean the growth. Keep the surface.
