How Often Should You Soft Wash Your Home?

October 8, 2025 / / Comments Off on How Often Should You Soft Wash Your Home?

The answer isn’t the same for everyone! It depends on your siding type, its current condition, and the environment around your home. Generally, if your home’s siding only has a light layer of dust, you may not need cleaning right away. However, homes in humid, coastal areas like Ponte Vedra Beach, FL are good candidates for soft washing. In this month’s blog, Oceantime Pressure Washing shares expert insights to help you decide what’s right for your home.

Why Soft Washing Frequency Matters

Your home’s exterior is constantly exposed to sun, rain, wind, and seasonal changes. Over time, this exposure can lead to mildew, algae, and grime that dulls your siding and even weakens its protective layers. Scheduling regular home cleaning through soft washing helps prevent these issues, extending the life of your siding while keeping your home looking well cared for.

A General Timeline to Follow

While every home is unique, we recommend soft washing at least once a year. For homes in drier areas, a longer interval—around 18 to 24 months—might be sufficient. But if you live near the coast or in a high-humidity climate, seasonal soft washing is often the best choice.

Note that after a professional consultation, our experts will assess your home and determine whether it needs exterior cleaning, seal coating, sidewalk soft washing, or gutters and deck care, ensuring the right service at the right time.

Signs It’s Time for Home Cleaning

Even with a schedule in mind, your home may send clear signals that it’s time for a soft wash:

  • Noticeable stains on siding, patios, or walkways.
  • Mildew or algae buildup in shaded or damp areas.
  • Fading or discoloration that reduces curb appeal.
  • Unpleasant odors caused by organic growth.

These early signs are reminders that home cleaning isn’t just about appearances – it’s about protecting your investment.

Surprising Surfaces in Your Home That Need Soft Washing (Hint: Not Your Siding!)

August 4, 2025 / / Comments Off on Surprising Surfaces in Your Home That Need Soft Washing (Hint: Not Your Siding!)

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.
