Soft washing is one of our advanced exterior cleaning services in Vermont. We clean siding, roofs, fences, decks, and exterior surfaces affected by algae, mildew, mold, and organic staining, from routine maintenance to deep restoration cleaning. Every soft washing project begins with a full surface assessment: identifying material sensitivity, selecting low-pressure application methods, and applying biodegradable cleaning solutions designed to break down biological growth at the root. We allow proper dwell time, gently rinse surfaces to preserve structural integrity, and ensure even, streak-free results. We protect landscaping, windows, roofing, and surrounding fixtures throughout the process and maintain strict control of runoff and cleanup at every stage.
