    Properties are often seen as investment pieces. It takes a long time to earn them, and a lot of effort to maintain them. Both commercial and residential properties have to worry about overall conditions, as well as visuals. A proper soft washing service can help improve both of these areas without any hassle to owners! Put your feet up and your mind at ease with a little help from a neighborhood Gorilla!

    The Importance of Regular Soft Washing

    When temperatures take a turn, it is easy to camp out indoors and wait for clear skies. The exterior of your property, however, has to deal with rain, sleet, snow and stains. These elemental issues will always leave a mark against your home or workplace. Salt stains, man-made discolorations and natural growth are prime culprits. High-pressure blasts are not enough to properly remove these materials. Soft washing, on the other hand, uses low-pressure to clear out even the most stubborn areas. This process improves not only the overall look of your property but its condition as well. No one ever wants bacteria sitting around their property, but you can’t always fight it! Algae, mildew, moss and other growths have a tendency to take over properties, and cause damage. Soft washing can extend the lifespan of your construction materials without any hassle on your end.

    Common questions

    Softwashing — answered

    What is softwashing, and how is it different from pressure washing?

    Softwashing uses a low-pressure chemical wash (typically a sodium-hypochlorite-and-surfactant blend) instead of high-pressure water. It kills algae, moss, and bacteria at the root rather than just blasting the surface — better for delicate substrates like roofs, painted surfaces, and stucco.

    Where is softwashing recommended over pressure washing?

    Asphalt roof shingles, painted siding (especially older wood or fiber-cement), cedar shakes, stucco, and most softscapes. Anywhere high pressure would either damage the surface or just push dirt deeper into pores rather than cleaning it.

    Are the chemicals safe for plants, pets, and people?

    When applied correctly, yes. We pre-wet surrounding landscaping, dilute to safe concentrations, neutralize and rinse after work, and use surfactants designed for residential exterior cleaning. We tell you when to keep pets indoors during application.

    How long do results last?

    Typically 2–4× longer than pressure-only cleaning because the chemistry kills the spore reservoir, not just visible growth. Most softwashed exteriors stay visibly clean 4–6 years versus 1–2 years for a pressure-only clean.

    How much does softwashing cost?

    Comparable to pressure washing for the same surface area — $300–$700 for a typical home exterior. The cost is in the chemistry and dwell time, not the equipment, so jobs that take less water often take more product.
