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.

It can, if done incorrectly. Too much pressure destroys wood grain and raises fibers, creating a rough surface that splinters. Our crew adjusts pressure based on wood type and condition. For older or softer wood, we use a soft wash approach with lower pressure and cleaning solutions.

Most Vermont homes need gutter cleaning twice per year, once in late spring after pollen and seed season, and once in late fall after leaves drop. Homes surrounded by trees may need a third cleaning in midsummer.

Yes. Soft washing is the recommended method for vinyl siding. It uses low pressure with biodegradable cleaning solutions that kill mold and algae without risking damage to the siding surface.

Yes. We use soft wash techniques to remove black algae streaks, moss, and lichen from asphalt shingles, metal roofing, and slate. We never use high pressure on roofing materials, it voids most manufacturer warranties and causes damage.
