Question 1

What is soft washing?

Accepted Answer

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses professional cleaning solutions to break down dirt, mildew, algae, and organic buildup. It's designed for surfaces that need a thorough clean without the risk that comes with high-pressure water.

Question 2

Is soft washing safe for siding?

Accepted Answer

Soft washing is generally considered a safer option for siding compared to high-pressure washing. The lower pressure reduces the risk of damage, and the cleaning solution handles the buildup. We evaluate the siding material and its condition before we begin.

Question 3

Is soft washing the same as pressure washing?

Accepted Answer

No — they're related but different. Pressure washing relies on high-force water to clean hard surfaces. Soft washing uses lower pressure and a cleaning solution to treat the surface more gently. Both have their place. DHI uses whichever method — or combination — is right for the surface and condition.

Question 4

Can soft washing remove mildew, algae, or grime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The cleaning solutions used in soft washing are specifically intended to break down organic material like mildew, algae, and surface grime. It's one of the main reasons soft washing is effective on these types of buildup.

Question 5

What surfaces can be soft washed?

Accepted Answer

Common surfaces include siding, gutters, soffits, fascia, exterior walls, fences, and some decks and masonry. Not every surface is the same, so we assess the material and condition before starting. If you're not sure whether soft washing is right for your surface, just ask — we're happy to take a look.
