Soft Wash House Washing That Actually Kills the Algae

That green film creeping across your siding is not just dirt. It's algae, and it spreads. Left alone, it works its way into the surface and keeps coming back faster each time. A quick rinse with a pressure washer might knock it back temporarily, but it doesn't solve the actual problem.

That's exactly where soft washing makes all the difference. Instead of blasting the surface with high pressure - which can crack siding, force water behind panels, and damage your home - we apply a low-pressure treatment with specialized cleaning solutions that kill algae, mold, and mildew at the root. The growth is eliminated, not just relocated.

The before on this house tells the whole story. Heavy green algae coverage had built up across the siding on multiple sides of the home. The kind of buildup that makes a house look years older than it is. After the soft wash treatment, the siding came back to a clean, bright finish. No streaking, no damage, just clean.

What makes this approach worth it is the staying power. Because we're treating the biological growth rather than just rinsing it off, your siding stays cleaner for longer. You're not scheduling another wash six months from now because the algae came right back. That's the difference between doing it right and doing it over.

If your house is starting to show that familiar green tint, especially on the shaded sides and near the roofline, that's the algae getting a foothold. We handle that exact situation every day, and the results speak for themselves.
