For a successful exterior paint application, the siding must be very clean—a job that can be laborious if done by hand scrubbing. Soft washing offers a quick and easy way to get the job done. At Oceantime Pressure Washing LLC, we highly recommend soft washing your home before painting it, and in this month’s blog, we’ll explain why this step is essential for achieving a beautiful paint job.
Get Better Results
Accumulated dust and pollutants can create a barrier between the paint and the underlying material. This can prevent the painting from adhering to the wood, vinyl, stucco, or other siding as well and the results won’t look nice. By soft washing your home, you create a clean and smooth surface for the paint to adhere to, ensuring better longevity and durability of the new paint job.

Preventing Mold and Mildew Growth
Paint dislikes mold and mildew almost as much as you do, and unclean siding drastically provides the best environment for these pollutants to grow. Soft washing with specialized cleaning solutions removes mold and mildew at their roots, ensuring a fresh and clean surface for the paint to be applied.

More Convenient
Soft washing offers a higher level of convenience compared to traditional hand-scrubbing methods. With soft washing, you can effortlessly clean those hard-to-reach corners and sections of your house without the need for a ladder. This not only saves you time and effort but also ensures a more thorough and effective cleaning process.
Enhancing Paint Longevity
Painting your home is an investment, and you want the results to withstand the test of time. For this, you need to soft wash your home before the paint job to create a clean canvas for the paint to bond with. Plus, soft washing will increase the amount of time between paint jobs, so you don’t have to deal with painting as frequently.
