    What is Soft Washing and Why is it Better?

    Soft washing is a professional exterior cleaning method that uses low pressure cleaning combined with specialized, biodegradable detergents. Unlike traditional high-pressure washing, which can damage delicate surfaces, soft washing safely removes algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, and dirt from your home’s exterior.

    This method works by applying a cleaning solution that breaks down organic growth and stains at a molecular level. After a specific “dwell time” (the period the solution needs to work), the surface is rinsed with a gentle stream of water, often no more powerful than a garden hose. This process not only cleans but also sanitizes the surface, killing the spores that cause regrowth.

    Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing: A Gentle Approach for Lasting Clean

    Understanding the difference between these two cleaning methods is crucial for homeowners. While both aim to clean, their approach and impact vary significantly. Soft washing is explicitly designed for delicate surfaces where high pressure could cause irreversible damage.

    Common questions

    Softwashing — answered

    What surfaces can be soft washed?

    Soft washing is safe and effective for a wide range of surfaces including vinyl siding, stucco, brick, wood siding, roofing shingles, EIFS, painted surfaces, and more. It’s ideal for any delicate exterior surface that could be damaged by high pressure.

    How often should I have my house soft washed in Paramus?

    Generally, most homes benefit from a soft wash every 12 to 24 months. Factors like local climate, surrounding vegetation, and exposure to sunlight can influence how frequently your home needs cleaning.

    Is soft washing safe for my plants and landscaping?

    Yes, when performed by professionals like Gorilla Property Services. We take extensive precautions, including pre-wetting plants and using biodegradable detergents, to ensure your landscaping remains unharmed during the cleaning process.

    Will soft washing remove all stains?

    Soft washing is highly effective at removing organic stains such as algae, mold, mildew, moss, and dirt. It also works well on many other environmental stains, restoring surfaces to their original appearance. For specific tough stains, we can assess and advise on the best approach.

    How long does the soft washing process take?

    The duration of a soft washing service depends on the size of your home and the extent of the cleaning required. Most residential soft washing jobs can be completed within a few hours.

    What are those black streaks on my roof or siding?

    Those black streaks are typically a type of algae called Gloeocapsa magma. Soft washing effectively kills and removes this algae, preventing its regrowth and restoring the appearance of your roof and siding.

    Does soft washing use eco-friendly products?

    Yes, Gorilla Property Services primarily uses biodegradable detergents that are formulated to be environmentally responsible while still being highly effective at cleaning and sanitizing your home’s exterior.

    Can soft washing prevent future growth of mold and algae?

    By killing the spores of mold, mildew, and algae at the source, soft washing provides a longer-lasting clean than pressure washing. While it doesn’t prevent all future growth indefinitely, it significantly delays its return.

    Do I need to be home during the soft washing service?

    No, you do not need to be home. As long as we have access to your property and water spigots, our team can complete the service efficiently. We will notify you upon arrival and completion.

    Is soft washing safe for my home's paint?

    Absolutely. Soft washing is specifically designed to be safe for painted surfaces. The low pressure and specialized detergents clean without stripping paint, unlike high-pressure washing which can cause significant damage.
