Soft wash house washing is the right way to clean vinyl, aluminum, stucco, EIFS, painted wood, and Hardie siding. High pressure on those surfaces drives water behind the siding, strips paint, and voids manufacturer warranties. Soft washing uses low pressure and a specialized cleaning solution to kill the mildew, algae, and mold that's staining your home, then rinses it away cleanly.

When You Need Soft Wash House Washing
Most homes in Takoma Park need soft wash house washing every one to two years. The tree canopy and humid summers create ideal conditions for biological growth, and once you see green tint on the north-facing walls, black streaking under the gutters, or dark spots creeping across the siding, the growth is already established. Waiting another season lets it work deeper into the surface, and on painted wood or stucco it can start affecting the finish itself. Signs it's time to call: dingy siding that doesn't respond to a garden hose, black streaks under gutters, green film on shaded walls, spider webs and wasp nests in eaves, or a general chalky, faded look to the exterior.
Our Soft Wash House Washing Process
We start with a walk-around so we understand the siding type, the trouble spots, and any plants or features that need extra protection. We pre-wet landscaping and cover anything sensitive. Then we apply our soft wash solution - a low-pressure blend of surfactants and biological cleaners that penetrates and kills mildew, algae, and mold at the root. We let it dwell for the right amount of time for the surface, then rinse thoroughly from the roofline down. We rinse plants and hardscape a second time to make sure no cleaning solution is left behind. Most single-family homes are done in three to five hours, and you'll see the difference the same day.
Soft Wash House Washing Cost in Takoma Park
Soft wash house washing in Takoma Park is priced by square footage of siding, home height, and how much biological growth has built up. A standard two-story colonial with moderate mildew is a predictable, straightforward job. Larger homes, three-story properties, and homes with heavy shading and long-neglected growth take longer. We give upfront quotes after a quick look at the property or from photos. The price we quote is the price you pay - no add-ons after we start.
