Frequently Asked Questions

Exterior Cleaning Services

  • Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that safely removes dirt, mould, moss, and algae from exterior surfaces using biodegradable solutions. It’s gentler than water blasting and ideal for painted surfaces, cladding, and more.

  • Water blasting (high-pressure cleaning) can damage paint, timber, and delicate surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure and specially formulated cleaning agents to clean effectively without causing damage - especially important for residential properties.

  • We recommend washing your house every 12 to 18 months. This keeps the exterior free from mould, grime, and pollutants, and helps protect your paint and cladding from long-term damage.

  • Yes! Our soft wash process is safe for all common building materials, including weatherboard, brick, stucco, Coloursteel, HardiPlank, and painted surfaces. We adjust pressure and treatment based on the surface type.
