The Soft Wash Process

When it comes to your exterior, household cleaning products just don’t cut it. In the same way that property owners require speciality tools for gutter cleaning or roof cleaning, the same goes for your walls. Taking a heavy-handed approach to your walls can mean damage and the added expense of repairs. Sure, pressure washing services might work for some things but stucco and vinyl siding aren’t one.

An exterior cleaning service can boost your curb appeal but there is a right and wrong way to get the job done. Power washing might seem like the obvious way to blast away dirt but, when under pressure, even water can cause damage. High pressure sprays cut through buildup on surfaces but this is only a temporary fix. Low pressure sprays allow water to soak into the more complicated areas of your walls. Stucco, for example is heavily textured, which means digging deep to remove the root cause of staining. Put the power washer away and call on an expert for your house washing services.

How Gorillas Get Results

The team at Gorilla Property Services is dedicated to helping property owners in our community, as well as keeping the environment clean. This is why our soft washing services are broken down into steps, to help get the best results in the most responsible way. The first step to getting results is a proper inspection of your surroundings. Whether old or new, aged properties have their own quirks and weak spots. By taking extra care around these areas, specialists can prevent unnecessary damage.

Next, an environmentally friendly cleaning solution is applied to affected areas. These eco-conscious cleansers and disinfecting agents help to keep spaces safe and in good shape. After an application and a good scrubbing from specialized, soft bristle brushes, the spraying can begin. Our Gorillas are dedicated to helping property owners in our community. Everything from window cleaning to clearing snow from parking lots, our experts can handle it all.

Softwashing — answered

Will you post-rinse my landscaping?

Yes. We post-rinse landscaping after the chemistry has done its work. The final rinse neutralizes any remaining solution and washes off rinse water carrying diluted chemistry residue, so nothing concentrated is left sitting on plants, soil, or beds once the crew packs up.

Can soft washing remove brown algae?

Yes, brown algae and general biological staining remove with standard soft-wash chemistry. The low-pressure treatment kills the organism and lifts the brown discolouration from siding, stucco, and similar surfaces without the high pressure that can drive water behind cladding or etch the finish.

Can soft washing clean exterior light fixtures?

For Annacis Island properties, exterior light fixtures get gentle attention during a soft wash. Glass and metal alike clean up with low-pressure chemistry that clears grime and cobwebs while keeping water out of seals and wiring. Fixtures look clear again without risk to the finish.

How long does post-rinse take?

In Annacis Island, 10 to 20 minutes of post-rinse handles cleanup after the wash. It takes longer than the pre-rinse because it removes everything, flushing leftover chemistry and diluted residue off the surrounding plants and soil before our crew packs up.

Will my surfaces dry differently after soft washing?

Yes, a freshly cleaned surface dries differently than it did when coated in algae and grime. You may notice slightly uneven tone or sheen at first as moisture leaves the material. That settles as the surface fully cures, and the final, even result is what counts.

How often should restaurants soft wash?

Most restaurant exteriors do well on a two-year soft wash cycle. The exception is any surface near food prep, kitchen ventilation, or significant grease vapour, which builds a film that holds grime and odour and warrants more frequent cleaning.

What is soft washing?

Think of soft washing as treating a surface, not blasting it. We apply detergent chemistry that kills the growth itself, let it dwell, then rinse at low pressure. The result is a deeper clean because dead spores are removed, not just the visible film.

How is soft washing different on EIFS?

EIFS is sensitive to both pressure and chemistry, so it needs specialty gentle technique with appropriate dilution. This synthetic stucco system has a soft outer coat over foam, meaning crews use very low pressure and carefully diluted chemistry to clear algae and mildew without scoring or saturating the surface.

Do you serve veterinary clinics?

Vet clinics are routine exterior work for us. Soft washing clears the mildew and algae that build on shaded walls, and the low-pressure approach means no loud high-pressure equipment startling animals and no harsh runoff near where pets come and go.
