Professional Soft Washing in Simpsonville & Greenville SC

Soft washing uses low pressure combined with professional cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, mold, mildew, and grime from exterior surfaces. Unlike pressure washing, which uses a high-pressure water stream that can damage siding, shingles, and painted surfaces, soft washing is safe for delicate materials like vinyl siding, stucco, roofs, screens, gutters, and trim. Because it kills organic growth at the root rather than just blasting it off, it delivers a deeper, longer-lasting clean.

Yes. Soft washing is the safest way to clean most exterior surfaces because it relies on low pressure and specialized solutions rather than force. High-pressure systems can crack paint, gouge siding, strip roof granules, and force water behind walls. Our soft wash process protects your investment while effectively removing dirt, algae, mold, and mildew. We pre-wet landscaping and take care around every surface we treat.

Soft washing is safe for almost every exterior surface: vinyl siding, brick, stucco, Hardie board, roofs, gutters, downspouts, fascia, soffits, trim, painted surfaces, screens, decks, and fences. Our low-pressure method and cleaning solutions protect delicate materials while removing the algae, mold, mildew, and buildup that high-pressure washing could damage.

Soft washing typically costs between $200 and $500 depending on the size of the area and the level of buildup. Single-story homes under 2,000 sq ft range from $200-$350, two-story homes (2,000-3,500 sq ft) range from $300-$500, and larger homes or heavy buildup are quoted custom. All estimates are free with no obligation. Call 864-713-9274 or request a quote online.

Most residential soft washing projects are completed in a single visit. A standard home takes two to three hours, while larger homes or surfaces with heavy organic buildup may take three to four hours. Our process includes pre-wetting plants, applying cleaning solution at low pressure, allowing proper dwell time for the solution to work, and thorough rinsing.

Soft washing removes algae, mold, mildew, dirt, grime, and organic staining from your home's exterior. It cleans siding, brick, stucco, roofs, gutters, trim, and painted surfaces, restoring a clean appearance and protecting those surfaces from the long-term damage caused by organic growth and buildup.

Most homeowners benefit from soft washing every one to two years to maintain curb appeal and prevent heavy staining from setting in. Homes in shaded areas or surrounded by trees may need it more often because of increased algae, mold, and mildew growth. Regular cleaning keeps buildup from becoming harder and more expensive to remove.
