Not every surface on your home can handle a high-pressure blast. Asphalt shingles, stucco, painted wood siding, and older trim can crack, peel, or wear down under too much pressure.
Not every surface on your home can handle a high-pressure blast. Asphalt shingles, stucco, painted wood siding, and older trim can crack, peel, or wear down under too much pressure. Soft washing solves that: we use water under 500 PSI paired with a biodegradable cleaning solution that breaks down mold, mildew, and algae at the source instead of blasting it off the surface.
New Orleans’ warm, damp air keeps humidity high most of the year, and the heavy tree canopy across the metro shades roofs and siding just enough to let mold and algae take hold. Add the yellow-green pollen film live oaks drop every spring and most homes need more than a hose to look clean again. Soft washing handles all of it without stripping paint or driving water into places it doesn’t belong.
Our soft wash mix includes an algaecide, so it doesn’t just remove what’s growing now, it slows down what grows back. That’s the real difference between soft washing and straight pressure washing: pressure knocks dirt loose, soft washing kills it at the root. The cleaner also biodegrades quickly, so it’s safe to run near landscaping, pets, and anyone in the yard while we work, and it uses less water overall than a high-pressure rinse.
Pressure washing is the right call for concrete, brick, and other hard surfaces that can take higher PSI. Soft washing is built for anything that can’t, mainly your roof and siding. We walk every property before we start and match the method to each surface, so you’re not paying for more pressure than a surface can safely handle.

Soft wash on siding, surface cleaners on concrete, detail work where it counts. The surface decides the pressure.
We check every surface with you before the truck leaves. If it's not right, we keep washing.
Warm, damp Gulf air and heavy tree cover keep growth active almost every month of the year.
Between the Gulf humidity, heavy tree cover, and the pollen live oaks drop every spring, New Orleans homes pick up grime fast.
