    In the same way that humans might develop a wrinkle or gray hair, there are certain ways that outdoor areas begin to show their age. Instead of learning to live with staining or buildup, property owners are opting for professional Barrie soft washing services. Mildew, mold, dirt and grime are no match for our talented team of experts.

    Understanding Your Stains

    On paper, a softwash system seems easy to navigate but there is more to it than just firing up a machine and blasting water. Pressure washers have a reputation for being a magical cure-all for exterior cleaning but an amateur attempt can mean serious damage. Power washing uses high pressure sprays to blast away buildup while soft washing takes a much more gentle approach.

    A home’s exterior is made up of many different materials. From the concrete to the delicate, old and new, it is vital to examine exactly what you are dealing with. Pressure washing services provide an immediate but superficial result while a soft wash digs deep to remove stains from deeper down, providing a longer lasting result.

    Catering to outdoor spaces means dealing with textures. Stucco, for example has tons of opportunity for dirt to become lodged in small cracks and crevices, leaving unseemly marks behind. Low-pressure sprays are able to flow down into these areas, carrying eco-friendly cleaning solutions with it. The soft wash system leaves exterior walls looking cleaner, for up to seven times longer than other cleaning services.

    The Gorilla Technique

    Much like its highly pressurized cousin, the soft wash system uses power tools and environmentally friendly cleansers to create a clean and inviting space for tenants, guests and customers. Our house washing services include a proper assessment, treatment, aftercare and insurance.

    After the condition of each surface is inspected, environmentally friendly cleansers are applied to loosen any surface staining. From here, low pressure sprays are used to coax dirt out of of those tough to reach spaces, leaving a clean exterior behind.

    The Gorilla roster of care does not stop at soft washing but spans from the ground level, all the way to roofing. With window cleaning, gutter cleaning and roof cleaning options available, our experts can help to overhaul your space in a cost-effective way. Call today for a free quote.

    Common questions

    Softwashing — answered

    How long does pre-rinse take?

    Only 5 to 10 minutes, which surprises people who expect it to slow the job down. The time is short because the goal is simple: get the surrounding plants and soil thoroughly wet before chemistry goes on. Quick to do, but skipping it would leave landscaping unprotected.

    How many crew members come?

    Crew size scales with the job. Most homes are done by a two-technician team, enough for safe ladder work and even chemistry application. Bigger or commercial properties get three to four technicians so coverage stays thorough. You’ll know the number at booking, not on arrival.

    Can soft washing be done on a rental property?

    Yes. We soft wash rental properties regularly, working with landlords and property managers as part of routine annual maintenance. The low-pressure approach lifts algae, mould, and mildew from siding and roofs without risking tenant-occupied surfaces, keeping the property presentable between tenancies.

    Soft washing vs chemical cleaning. What's the difference?

    They are the same thing under different names. Soft washing simply pairs cleaning chemistry with low pressure, and the industry also calls it low-pressure cleaning or sodium hypochlorite cleaning. The label varies, but the method, chemistry to kill growth plus a gentle rinse, does not.

    What chemicals do you use in soft washing?

    The main agent is sodium hypochlorite, the same compound found in common bleach, paired with surfactants for adhesion. There is nothing exotic or proprietary about it. What matters is the dilution and technique, which is what turns a familiar chemical into safe, effective soft-wash treatment.

    How is soft washing different on painted surfaces?

    Painted surfaces need gentle chemistry to avoid lifting or peeling the paint. Properly diluted soft-wash chemistry clears algae and mildew while preserving the coating, and low pressure rinses without driving under edges or flaking the finish. The result cleans the surface without stripping what’s painted on it.

    How often should I soft wash my home?

    The four-to-six-year guideline is an average, not a rule. What actually sets your interval is exposure: north-facing walls, surfaces near gardens or irrigation, and siding that stays wet after rain green up sooner. Watch for the first hint of algae streaking rather than counting years.

    Do you handle commercial soft washing?

    Yes, commercial soft washing is a major part of what we do. We clean office buildings, retail centres, multi-tenant complexes, hospitality properties, and healthcare facilities, using low-pressure chemistry to remove algae, mould, and grime from large exterior surfaces without damaging the building.

    Can soft washing clean my breezeway?

    Breezeways tend to grow heavy biological staining because they stay shaded and hold moisture. Soft washing suits them well, treating both the roof and walls with gentle chemistry that kills the algae and mildew at the root rather than just rinsing the surface.
