When most homeowners think about home washing, siding is usually the first thing that comes to mind. However, soft washing – a low-pressure cleaning method – is ideal for much more than just your home’s exterior walls. In fact, there are surprising surfaces around your home that could benefit from this gentle cleaning technique. Read this month’s blog to uncover what else needs a refresh.
Stained Wood Deserves Special Care
That beautiful, stained wood on your deck might look rustic, but if it has been a while since it had a proper clean, chances are it is quietly soaking up mildew. Soft washing preserves the integrity of stained wood without stripping its finish. It gets down into the pores and restores its clean appearance. Our team recommends it for preserving stained finishes.

Shingles and AC Units—Yes, Seriously
Your roof might be out of sight, but it shouldn’t be out of mind. Asphalt shingles, especially in shady spots, are magnets for moss and black streaks. Over time, that stuff can eat away at the shingles and knock years off your roof’s life. A soft wash clears it all off without messing with the granules that protect your roof from the elements.
While we are at it, take a peek at your air conditioning unit. All that buildup of pollen and leaves clogs up the system and makes it work harder than it needs to. A thorough soft wash treatment can help it breathe easy and run efficiently.

Other Spots You’re Probably Missing
Think soft washing is just for the big stuff? Think again. There are plenty of smaller areas around your place that could use some TLC:
- Old brick steps or patios — Algae and stains love hanging out here, especially after a wet season.
- Garage doors — They deal with everything from road salt to oil smudges.
- Handrails and porch steps — Grime builds up fast in high-traffic zones.
- Outdoor playsets — Safe play starts with clean surfaces for the kiddos.
