Low-pressure, plant-safe cleaning that treats algae at the root — so siding stays clean longer.
"Good folks and they provide many home care services including softwashing that I need. 10/10!"
The black streaks and green patches on your siding are alive. They're algae and mildew, and a high-pressure washer just blasts the surface growth off — leaving the roots behind to grow right back within months. Worse, that much pressure can force water up under your siding.
Soft washing is the fix. Low pressure plus a plant-safe cleaning solution that treats the algae and mildew at the root, so the clean lasts far longer and the siding is never at risk. It's the right method for vinyl, brick, stucco, and painted surfaces — anywhere a pressure washer would do more harm than good.
Algae feeding on your siding, concentrated wherever water runs. Soft washing treats it at the root instead of smearing it around.
The shady side of every house in the Shoals grows algae — it's the humidity. We treat it so it stays gone for years, not months.
Porous surfaces hold growth deep in the texture where pressure washing can't reach without damage. The soft-wash solution soaks in and treats it.
If you pressure washed last year and the streaks returned, the roots survived. That's the problem soft washing exists to solve.
Listing the house, hosting the reunion, or just tired of the dinge — a soft wash is the fastest whole-exterior refresh there is.
High pressure on vinyl drives water into the wall cavity. Low-pressure soft washing cleans without ever putting your walls at risk.
We pre-wet and rinse your landscaping before, during, and after. The greenery around your house is part of the job.
The clean lasts one to three years because the algae is treated at the root, not just knocked off the surface.
If a surface needs pressure washing instead — or nothing at all — we say so. We do both, so we have no reason to push one.

Soft washing is a purpose-built system, not a pressure washer turned down. Here's the equipment that keeps it gentle on siding and hard on growth.
High volume at under 300 PSI — about the force of a garden hose. It reaches four to five stories from the ground, so nothing stronger than the solution ever touches your siding.
Mix strength dialed to the surface on the fly — a gentle blend for vinyl siding, a stronger one for heavy algae. Your house never gets more chemistry than it needs.
Pentair and Apache applicators with zero metal internals to corrode, so the spray pattern stays even and controlled job after job.
A professional sodium-hypochlorite blend with a surfactant, metered to the surface and rinsed thoroughly — it treats algae at the root, which is why the clean lasts years instead of months.
Priced by the size of your home — a full siding wash that treats algae at the root, plant-safe.

A dedicated Southeast Softwash pump system that applies the cleaning solution at under 300 PSI — about garden-hose force — with a ProPortioner manifold that meters the mix to the surface: gentler for vinyl siding, stronger for heavy algae. The solution is a professional sodium-hypochlorite blend with a surfactant that treats growth at the root, applied from the ground up to four or five stories and rinsed thoroughly. No pressure washer ever touches your siding.
Pressure washing uses high force — great for concrete, too harsh for siding. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution that treats algae and mildew at the root. It is safer for delicate surfaces and the clean lasts much longer because the growth is treated at the root, not just knocked off.
Yes. We pre-wet landscaping, use a plant-safe mix, and rinse thoroughly. Keep pets and children inside during the clean and the rinse, and everything is fine once the surfaces are dry.
Because soft washing treats the algae at the root rather than just removing the surface, results typically last one to three years depending on shade, humidity, and tree cover — far longer than a pressure wash that leaves the roots behind.
Vinyl and fiber-cement siding, brick, stucco, painted wood, fences, and roofs. Anywhere high pressure would risk damage or force water behind the surface, soft washing is the right call.
Because pressure washing only removes the visible surface growth — the algae roots survive and regrow within months. Soft washing uses a solution that breaks down the growth at the root, which is why the clean holds so much longer.
Spring and early summer are popular, but soft washing works year-round in our climate. If the algae and streaks are visible, it is the right time — letting them sit only lets the growth spread.
