soft wash

Our Process

Soft washing is a process of using chemical solutions applied at a low pressure, versus high pressured water to clean surfaces that are easily damaged. hile high-pressure wash relies primarily on the water to blast away grim, dirt, and other impurities, soft washing is a gentler wash that offers a deeper clean. For example, vinyl, brick, cement, siding, wood and stucco. In addition to cleaning the surface the chemical solution will kill and remove algae, moss and lichens from the surfaces. 

Don’t worry, we ensure that the surrounding areas are covered to avoid chemicals from getting into places it shouldn’t, ie. Grass, gardens, etc.

House / Building / Roof

For homes, roofs and gutters, we use a soft wash process to clean the shingles, this avoids damaging them with pressure. It also allows for certain organic matters such as gloeocapsa magma to effectively be washed away.

Wood Restoration

Our process is simple, we don’t damage your wood with the pressure of the water. We allow our uniquely mixed chemicals to clean and brighten the wood and simply wash it away. We then sand down the wood to allow for the stain and/or sealer to adhere to the surface.

Our Services

House/Building Washing

We effectively remove algae and other debris safely from the exterior of a residence or building. We use a low-pressure soft wash with a unique mixture of chemicals to effectively remove organics from vinyl, cement board, brick, and stucco homes. 

We take care of washing your gutters, eavestroughs, facia, and siding. Washing exteriors extends the life of the building/home, but also minimizes risk to the residents overall health as mold and mildew can grow over time. Washing removes the dirt and organics, thus eliminating mold and mildew growth.

Every house/building wash comes with a complimentary window clean!

Roof Washing & Gutter Cleaning

Just like homes and buildings, roofs get the brunt of the build up. Shingles are mainly made up of limestone, and organic material that can be used as food for algae, moss and lichen. These can severely damage the roof causing increased energy costs, loss of shingle granules, premature roof failures, and water damage. 

Don’t forget to have your gutters cleaned! Leaving leaves and other organic matter build up in your gutters can facilitate algae, moss, and mold growth.

We work with several roof types such as asphalt shingles, roof tiles, steel, and cedar

Wood/Deck/Fence Restoration

More than just a clean on your deck, fence, or cedar roof.

Our process is simple, we don’t damage your wood with the pressure of the water. We allow our uniquely mixed chemicals to clean and brighten the wood and simply wash it away. We then sand down the wood to allow for the stain and/or sealer to adhere to the wood. It is important to seal the wood to avoid shrinking and swelling.

Surface Washing

(Patio/ Driveways/ Sidewalks)

Don’t get too comfortable with dirty surfaces, we may walk on them but they deserve better. Trust us, we’ve seen the blackest surfaces become sparkling clean! Just like a home or building, driveways, sidewalks, and patios take a beating from the sun, traffic, and elements. We use a surface cleaner to help evenly distribute the pressure of the water avoiding unattractive lines. Just like our soft washing process, we use chemicals to aid in removing the organics from the surface. Without it, those organics could grow back and ruin the finished product. 

Our process is simple, we wash, sand, and seal. No job is left unfinished. Using a surface sprayer eliminates filling from being emptied out – but it doesn’t stop it all together. We ensure sand is replaced before sealing. 

Not all surfaces can be cleaned, we will let you know if your surfaces require repairing or replacing!

Graffiti Removal

We can appreciate art but there are some places that it doesn’t belong. Graffiti is considered an act of vandalism, devaluing your property. We provide power washing services that will remove graffiti fairly easily. We effortlessly remove a variety of types of paint and marker from signs, metal, concrete, glass, and more with a non-hazardous chemical—yet highly effective.

Commercial Kitchen Exhaust Cleaning

A huge part of a restaurants expense is the kitchen and all of it’s equipment and components. Not to mention a majority of safety measures are geared toward the back of the house. We offer hood, exhaust, fan and duct cleaning of all kitchen commercial exhaust systems. These systems over time receive build up of grease and food which becomes a safety hazard and feeding ground for mold. 

The major part of hood cleaning is preparation! We are fully certified in hood wrapping, avoiding excessive water in your kitchen by controlling the run off and collecting the waste.

Residential • Commercial • Industrial

ROOF WASH

The black streaks are algae called Gloeocapsa magma. The algae use nitrogen to grow and need no other and need no nutrition. The black streaks are the signs of the algae reproducing, leaving millions of dead cells on the roof causing the sreaks.to build up and cause the streaks.

Algae is the number one reason for premature failure of roofs. Roofs could lose up to 50% of their service life from infestation from microorganisms. These algae have a filament root system that decompose the roofing materials. Moss and Lichen will create divots with their root systems and remove the protective layer of granules on the shingle.
