Frequently Asked Questions

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses professional-grade chemical solutions to kill algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria on exterior surfaces. Unlike pressure washing, which relies on high PSI water force, soft washing uses chemistry to eliminate organisms at the cellular level — resulting in longer-lasting results without risk of surface damage.

Absolutely — soft washing is the ONLY recommended method for cleaning concrete tile, barrel tile, and flat roofs. High-pressure washing can damage tiles, break waterproof seals, and void manufacturer warranties. Our soft wash process uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) to apply cleaning solutions that kill growth without mechanical impact on your roof.

In Fort Lauderdale's humid climate, a professional soft wash typically lasts 12-18 months on house exteriors and 18-24 months on roofs. This is 2-3x longer than traditional pressure washing because soft washing kills organisms at the root rather than just rinsing off the visible layer.

We take extensive precautions to protect your landscaping. All plants near the treatment area are pre-wetted before application and thoroughly rinsed after. Our team monitors the entire process to ensure no chemical contact reaches your garden beds, trees, or lawn.

Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property. House washing typically runs $1.50/linear foot for single story and $2.50/linear foot for two story homes. Roof cleaning averages $0.25/square foot. Most single-family homes in Fort Lauderdale fall in the $300-$800 range for a complete soft wash. We provide free, no-obligation estimates.

A typical single-family home takes 2-4 hours for a complete exterior soft wash. Larger properties or those with heavy contamination may take longer. Roof cleaning alone is usually 1-3 hours depending on roof size and accessibility.

You don't need to be present during the service, though we do ask that all windows and doors are closed and any outdoor pets are secured. We'll contact you before we start and send photos when the job is complete.

Power washing and pressure washing both use high-pressure water to clean surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure with chemical solutions. For hard surfaces like concrete driveways, pressure washing is appropriate. For roofs, siding, stucco, and painted surfaces, soft washing is the safe and effective choice.
