Frequently Asked Questions

  • Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove organic growth like moss, algae, and mildew. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on high pressure to blast away dirt, soft washing kills organic growth at the root and prevents it from returning as quickly. This method is much safer for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and painted surfaces.

  • The main chemical we use to kill harmful growth is sodium hypochlorite, which is the active chemical found in bleach. We dilute this chemical with water and a small amount of soap which helps the bleach cling to different surfaces to clean them more effectively

  • We take several steps to protect your landscaping during the cleaning process. Plants and surrounding areas are thoroughly rinsed before, during, and after the service. Water naturally dilutes the cleaning solution, and once diluted it safely drains into the ground without harming grass, plants, or landscaping. Pets should be kept indoors during the service as a precaution, but once everything has been rinsed the area is safe for plants, lawns, and pets.

  • Most roofs benefit from professional cleaning every 1–3 years, depending on the amount of shade, nearby trees, and moisture exposure. Regular cleaning helps prevent moss and algae from damaging shingles and can extend the life of your roof.

  • We recommend getting your gutters cleaned at least twice a year to ensure proper drainage and gutter health.
