Soft washing pairs low water pressure, roughly 150 to 300 PSI, with biodegradable cleaning agents formulated to break down organic growth at the source. It’s a different approach from standard pressure washing, and it’s the right one anytime the surface itself is more delicate than the grime sitting on it.
Warm, damp Gulf air keeps humidity high here most of the year, and that’s exactly the environment mold, mildew, and algae need to spread. Add a heavy tree canopy over most commercial properties and the yellow-green film live oak pollen leaves behind every spring, and buildings in New Orleans build up organic staining faster than they would in a drier climate. Blasting that growth off with high pressure can strip paint, crack stucco, or force water behind siding and trim. Soft washing lifts it instead, using the right chemistry rather than raw force, then rinses clean at low pressure so nothing gets damaged in the process.
We use this method on roofing, wood siding and trim, vinyl siding, glass, and stucco: the materials most likely to take damage from a high-pressure blast. It’s also our go-to for full building exteriors, parking lots, sidewalks, and storefronts, where organic growth is the problem but the surface underneath still needs a careful touch.
High pressure alone can knock visible dirt off a surface but leave mold and algae roots intact underneath, so the stain comes back within a season. Soft washing kills growth at the root instead, which means the surface stays cleaner for longer and you’re not scheduling the same wash every few months. It’s also easier on what you’re paying to maintain: paint, sealant, caulking, and finishes hold up far better under a controlled chemical wash than under a high-PSI blast aimed at the same spot for several seconds.
Every agent we use is biodegradable, which matters on a property with landscaping beds, storm drains, or a parking lot that drains straight toward the street. You get a clean building without runoff that kills grass or damages what’s around it.

Warm, damp Gulf air and heavy tree cover keep growth active almost every month of the year.
Customers judge a business before they walk in the door. A grimy entryway or streaked glass front sends a message about what's inside, whether that's accurate or not.
