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

    With tons of shops, resources, small town charms and proximity to Niagara Falls, St. Catharines is a great place to call home.

In a damp space, proper care is key to great looks and great condition.

    Managing moisture is a constant battle but our Gorillas are able to provide backup to your home or business when you need it most. Expert softwash systems are able to treat any residential or commercial property, as well as any surface material. Trust a professional with your St. Catharines soft washing for proper care and attention to all of your outdoor spaces.

    The Importance of Proper House Washing Services

    It is easy to spot when dirt, dust and buildup are leaving an ugly mark on properties. It might be discolouration to walkways or retaining walls or it might be stains on stucco or siding. Whatever the case may be, it doesn’t look pretty. You don’t have to be selling a property to want to maximize curb appeal. The right cleaning method leaves walls looking great, but it also prevents damage.

    It is easy to put off maintenance practices, especially when they are complicated or difficult. Roof cleaning, gutter cleaning or window cleaning can often fall to the wayside but ignoring these can have a hugely negative impact on your home or workspace. Regular soft washing services prevent degrading by removing growth and bacteria, without the threat of unnecessary damage.

    How Soft Washing Works

    Plenty of property owners believe that all it takes to clean an outdoor space is to rely on power washing and a scrub brush. When it comes to pressure washing, it is all in the name: pressure. High powered sprays can get rid of ground-in stains, but they can also break apart aged or sensitive materials. Instead of taking a risk, lower the pressure and amp up the results.

    Before any work begins, Gorilla technicians perform a thorough inspection. A keen eye and ongoing training make it possible for our team of experts to pinpoint any potential problem areas. Once we have a better understanding of what we are dealing with, Gorillas can get to work with an eco-friendly approach.

    After an environmentally friendly cleaning solution and disinfectant is applied, surfaces are scrubbed, and surrounding areas are protected. Whether you call it outdoor cleaning, house washing or something else entirely, our Gorillas get results from Niagara on the Lake to Fort Erie and beyond.

    Gorilla Property Services is not your average cleaning company. Each and every one of our services include great results with a focus on customer service, and free estimates.

    Common questions

    Softwashing — answered

    Will you pre-rinse my landscaping?

    For St. Catharines customers, pre-rinse of landscaping is standard protocol. Before any chemistry goes on, our crews wet down the surrounding plants and soil, so anything that reaches them is diluted on contact and overspray washes off rather than settling on the foliage.

    Can you soft wash my vinyl siding?

    Yes, and vinyl is a textbook case for soft washing rather than pressure. High-PSI water can crack older panels or drive moisture behind the siding, while our low-pressure chemistry kills the algae staining vinyl is prone to and rinses it clean without that risk.

    Will my outdoor furniture be damaged?

    Outdoor furniture handles the standard residential dilution without damage, so incidental overspray or drift is not a concern. Crews also avoid directing concentrated spray straight at furniture, and where it sits close to a work area they will move it aside or rinse it as a precaution.

    Should I soft wash before selling my home?

    Yes. A clean exterior strengthens presentation in listing photos and during showings, and the cost often pays back through a faster sale. Soft washing removes the algae and mildew streaks that make a home read as neglected, so buyers see a well-kept property.

    Do you use foam or gel applications?

    For St. Catharines customers, we use foam or gel chemistry when a surface needs longer dwell time. These formulations adhere to vertical walls and roofs instead of running straight off, giving the solution more time to penetrate and kill algae, mould, and moss at the root.

    Can I schedule a specific time?

    In St. Catharines, soft washing is scheduled by appointment, so a specific time usually works with reasonable lead time. We accommodate morning or afternoon preferences where we can, keeping in mind that weather can shift outdoor timing slightly.

    Will my kids be safe?

    For St. Catharines families, our standard protocol keeps children indoors while crews work. It keeps them away from wet surfaces, ladders, and equipment during the job. Once the treated areas dry, generally within one to two hours, they are safe for kids.

    Can soft washing clean exterior light fixtures?

    The concern people raise is water near electrical, and soft washing addresses it. Because the method uses low pressure rather than blasting jets, chemistry does the cleaning and a gentle rinse follows. Glass and metal fixtures get the same careful handling, no forced water into fittings.

    Can soft washing remove green algae?

    Yes, green algae is one of soft washing’s primary targets. Our low-pressure application coats the surface in biodegradable chemistry that kills the algae at the root rather than just rinsing the green away. That root-level kill is what makes removal last.
