    Brands the Gorilla Property Services network has worked with across Canada and the U.S.

    When indoors, cleaning a splotch off of a wall is as simple as grabbing a wet rag but outdoor spaces are another story all together. Exterior walls are not often flat surfaces. When dealing with everything from wood and stucco to vinyl siding, the right cleaning method is key to getting results. 

    When you want your property cleaned safely and effectively, professional Nanaimo soft washing services are the only call that you need to make. After years in the industry, our team of experts have developed an efficient, environmentally friendly approach to cleaning the exterior of your home or business.

    The Importance of Clean Spaces

    A clean surface can be a clean slate but buildup and debris can be an eyesore. Owning property on the west coast is costly enough that caring for structures is usually at the top of priority lists. Exterior cleaning can mean roof cleaning, moss removal, window cleaning, pressure washing or gutter cleaning but walls are just as important.

    Exterior surfaces are made up of multiple material types, some of which are more delicate than others. This is what makes it crucial to use a cleaning system that treats according to the unique makeup of your structure. 

    Every day, your walls are at the mercy of temperamental weather, dirt, dust and debris. Foreign items collect in cracks and crevices, leaving ugly marks all over your space. These stains or discolourations can wreck your curb appeal but it can also mean structural damage for more sensitive areas. 

    Ditch DIY House Washing Treatments 

    Many property owners or managers are quick to try power washing but this can be catastrophic to delicate materials. Instinct might say high pressure, but a gentler approach to cleaning services gets better, longer lasting results. When trying to get rid of stubborn stains, the right cleaning solution can be tough to find. 

    Force seems to get rid of buildup quickly but removing stains at a surface level does not mean that you are getting the best results. Lower pressure sprays do not just blast water around a concentrated area but dig deep into dips, grooves and textures. By getting rid of even ground-in dirt, properties look their best up to seven times longer than they would if treated with pressure washers. In addition to getting the best results, our team of Gorilla specialists work hard to keep your property and the environment safe.

    The Gorilla Approach to Soft Washing Services

    In the wrong hands, exterior house cleaning is tough. With the threat of damage or poor results around every corner, developing the right technique can take years of practice. Luckily, for those in the Nanaimo area, our Gorilla experts have developed a system that works. Instead of just shooting water at a surface, our experts operate using a multi-step approach to remove surface stains, as well as those that are lower down. 

    Eco-friendly cleansers clean and disinfect while specialty brushes scrub away whatever is left. With a clear canvas, soft washers are able to remove the cause of staining. When you are ready to wash your home, no one serves the Vancouver Island better than our Gorillas can. If your property could use a facelift, call today for a free quote!

    Common questions

    Softwashing — answered

    Can you soft wash stucco?

    Yes, and stucco is one surface where soft washing is not just preferred but required. Its porous, textured finish chips and cracks under high pressure, and the damage shows. Chemistry does the cleaning instead, killing growth in the texture while the low-pressure rinse leaves it intact.

    Will my shrubs be damaged?

    Properly applied, no. Shrubs are durable and tolerate our chemistry at residential dilutions, and the pre-rinse and post-rinse steps protect them further. Sensitive species like azaleas and rhododendrons get extra attention, with a heavier soak before work and a careful rinse once the job is done.

    Do you serve gas stations?

    Yes, we soft wash gas station canopies, signage, pump areas, and building exteriors. Low-pressure chemistry lifts road grime, algae, and exhaust film without damaging finishes. We coordinate scheduling around customer traffic so the work stays clear of fuelling lanes and busy periods.

    How often do commercial properties need soft washing?

    For Nanaimo commercial properties, annual or biennial soft washing is the standard cadence. High-traffic sites and food-service locations usually need it more often, since grease vapour and constant foot traffic let grime and algae rebuild faster on walls, entrances, and signage.

    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.

    Why do you adjust pressure by surface?

    We adjust pressure by surface because different materials tolerate different force. Cedar shake handles less than stucco, and vinyl handles less than brick. Matching the right pressure to each surface preserves the material, clearing algae and mildew without splintering, pitting, or scoring what we’re cleaning.

    Can I make payments in installments?

    In Nanaimo, payment plans may be available depending on the local franchise, usually for larger soft-wash jobs or estate properties. Mention it at booking and the office can confirm whether installment options apply to your project.

    Can soft washing clean my chimney?

    Yes. Chimney exteriors clean up well with soft washing, and brick, stone, or stucco chimneys are all standard work. The low-pressure method lifts algae, moss, and staining from the masonry without the high pressure that can erode mortar joints or loosen aging brickwork.

    Will I smell bleach during cleaning?

    A faint bleach odour during the job is normal and temporary. It comes from the sodium hypochlorite doing its work on the algae and mould, and it fades on its own within a few hours once the surface has been rinsed and the area dries.
