Soft Washing in Maine
A gentle, low-pressure wash that safely removes algae, mildew, and grime from siding and roofs.
Soft Washing done right
Those green and black streaks on your siding aren't just dirt — they're living algae and mildew, and high-pressure washing can force water behind your siding or damage shingles. Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to kill growth at the root instead of just blasting the surface.
It's the manufacturer-recommended method for vinyl, cedar shake, shingle siding, painted wood, and roofs — the surfaces that make up most Maine homes. Results last noticeably longer than pressure washing because the organisms are treated, not just rinsed.
We protect your landscaping, pre-wet plants, and rinse everything down when we're done. Licensed, bonded, and insured — and we'll show you the difference with a free estimate.

Soft Washing FAQs
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast surfaces clean — great for concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure plus cleaning solutions to kill algae and mildew, which is safer and longer-lasting for siding and roofs.
Is soft washing safe for my plants?
Yes. We pre-wet all landscaping, apply solutions carefully, and rinse everything down afterward to keep your plants protected.
How long do soft washing results last?
Because soft washing kills organic growth at the root instead of just rinsing it off, results typically last two to three times longer than pressure washing alone.
Can you soft wash my roof?
Yes — soft washing is the recommended method for roof cleaning. It removes black streaks and algae without the shingle damage high pressure can cause.
