What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses specialized cleaning detergents and surfactants to kill and remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and organic growth from sensitive surfaces.

Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on sheer water force, soft washing allows cleaning agents to do the heavy lifting, making it ideal for:

• Stucco

• Vinyl siding

• Painted wood

• EIFS (synthetic stucco)

• Roof shingles and tiles

• Awnings and canopies

• Window frames and screens

• Outdoor signs and trim

• Glass enclosures

Soft washing extends the life of your building materials, avoids costly repairs, and delivers a deeper, longer-lasting clean.

Why Your Business Needs Soft Washing

You may not notice it at first, but over time, unsightly build-up on your building’s exterior can hurt your reputation, property value, and even health safety. The Florida climate is a breeding ground for:

✅ Algae (especially Gloeocapsa magma, the black streaks on roofs)
✅ Mold and mildew
✅ Pollen, dust, and dirt
✅ Lichen and moss
✅ Irrigation rust stains and mineral buildup

If left untreated, these contaminants can cause:

• Permanent stains

• Paint and siding deterioration

• Allergic reactions in customers and employees

• Failed inspections

• Structural and material damage

Soft washing removes and neutralizes contaminants at the root—without damaging the surface.

Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing: What’s the Difference?

Soft washing is best for:

• Roof shingles and tiles

Pressure washing is better for:

How Often Should You Soft Wash a Commercial Property?

The frequency depends on your environment, industry, and building materials. In Central Florida, we typically recommend:

• Every 6–12 months for high-visibility retail and office buildings

• Annually for roof and siding soft washing

• Quarterly for medical centers, schools, or public-use buildings

• Pre-listing or pre-leasing for real estate agents and property managers
