Here are a few of the most common questions we get about siding cleaning.

Common Questions About Siding Washing

  • Do you use a pressure washer? Pressure washing has been the go-to outdoor washing method for a long time, but we use the softwashing approach. Softwashing involves much less pressure, which is better for the well-being of your siding and other outdoor surfaces. It also relies on a special chemical solution that breaks down and washes away all of the filth that has accumulated onto your home siding.
  • How often should my siding be washed? Siding washing isn’t a weekly service that you need, but you shouldn’t put it off for long stretches of time. We recommend at least two times a year for your siding, but any time you aren’t pleased with the cleanliness level of your siding, we are happy to help you out.
  • How do softwashing results compare to that of pressure washing? Because of softwashing’s chemical solution, the results of this type of siding washing will last much longer than what you get from pressure washing. There’s no way to make sure that algae, dirt, and insect residue stay off of your home forever, but if you want to minimize the amount of times you need to have your home exterior cleaned, go with softwashing.
