Soft Washing
The safe way to clean siding & roofs.
Low-pressure, algae-killing cleaning for homes in Columbus GA, Auburn AL, Opelika AL, Phenix City AL and Fort Mitchell AL — without the risk high pressure brings to delicate surfaces.
What Is Soft Washing?
Low pressure. High-strength cleaning solution. Long-lasting results.
Soft washing combines a gentle stream of water — comparable to a garden hose — with a specially formulated cleaning solution that breaks down and kills mold, algae, mildew, and organic staining at the root. Instead of blasting dirt off the surface, we treat what's causing it, so your siding and roof stay cleaner for longer.
Siding Soft Washing
Vinyl, Hardie board / fiber cement, wood, stucco & brick — we adjust our solution and pressure to match your siding material.
Roof Soft Washing
Removes black algae streaks (gloeocapsa magma), moss and lichen from asphalt shingle and metal roofs without stripping granules.
Gutters, Fascia & Trim
We brighten oxidized gutters and clean fascia and trim as part of a full exterior soft wash for a complete refresh.
Why It Matters
Pressure washing your roof can shorten its life.
A pressure washer aimed at asphalt shingles can strip the protective granules that shield them from UV damage — sometimes voiding the shingle manufacturer's warranty outright. On siding, high pressure can force water behind panels, leading to mold and rot you can't see until it's a real problem.
Soft washing avoids all of that. It's the method roofing manufacturers and siding installers actually recommend.
What we treat with soft washing:
- Black algae streaks on shingle roofs
- Green mold & mildew on shaded siding
- Dirt, pollen & cobwebs on brick & stucco
- Oxidation staining on gutters & fascia
- Moss & lichen buildup on shaded roof sections
