Quick Answer
Soft Washing — Quick Answer

Why It Matters in Hampton, VA
Hampton Roads humidity, salt air, and shaded yards grow algae and mildew quickly. Soft washing is the only safe way to clean siding, shingles, screens, and painted exteriors — high pressure damages those surfaces. The cleaning solution does the work; the equipment just rinses.

Soft Washing FAQs
Pressure washing uses high pressure to physically blast dirt off hard surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a biodegradable cleaning solution to kill algae and mildew on delicate surfaces. Both have a place — and we use the right one for each material.
Yes, when done correctly. We pre-wet and cover sensitive plants, and we use cleaning solutions diluted to safe levels. We also rinse landscaping after the wash. Pets should stay indoors during the cleaning, just to keep them out of the work area.
