That green film creeping across the north side of the house, the black streaks under the gutters, the gray haze over everything after a dusty summer: soft washing is how you get rid of it without taking a high-pressure wand to your siding.
What soft washing is
Soft washing is a low-pressure way to clean a house. Instead of relying on force, a cleaning solution does the work: it is applied to the siding, given time to break down the growth and grime, and then rinsed away. The result is a clean exterior without the risks that come with blasting siding at high pressure.
Why not just pressure wash the house?
High pressure is great for concrete and hard on almost everything else. On a house it can drive water behind siding, scar softer materials, and strip paint. It also tends to knock the surface growth off without killing what is underneath, so the green comes back sooner. Soft washing treats the problem instead of just knocking it loose.
Why houses around here turn green
Humid Illinois and Indiana summers, shade trees, and sides of the house that never see direct sun give algae and mildew exactly what they need. It usually starts on the north and shaded walls and under eaves, then spreads. Add field dust from harvest season and pollen in spring, and most homes here look noticeably dingy within a few years.
Signs it is time
- Green or black film on the shaded sides of the house
- Dark streaks running down from gutters and soffits
- Siding that looks dull or gray even after a rain
- Mildew spots around porches, trim, and window frames
- You are getting ready to sell, host, or just want the place to look cared for again
