Is soft washing safe for my siding and landscaping?

Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) with biodegradable cleaning agents. We pre-wet plants and rinse thoroughly to protect your landscaping.

How much does house washing cost in the Treasure Valley?

Most single-story homes range $350–$550, and two-story homes $550–$850, based on square footage, siding material, and organic growth level.

How long does the clean last?

A professional soft wash typically keeps siding looking clean for 12–24 months in our climate. Homes shaded by trees may see algae return sooner.

Can you remove algae, mildew, and green streaks?

Yes — our cleaning solutions kill algae, mold, and mildew at the root instead of just blasting the surface, so growth stays away longer.

"Booked a soft wash for our Middleton siding — no damage, no streaks, and it killed the algae we've been fighting for years."

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my house washed in Idaho?

Most Treasure Valley homes benefit from annual house washing. Homes with north-facing walls, heavy tree coverage, or in high-dust areas may need service twice per year—spring and fall.

Will house washing damage my landscaping?

No. We use eco-friendly cleaning solutions and pre-water all plants and shrubs. Our low-pressure soft washing technique is safe for all landscaping and won't harm grass, flowers, or bushes.

Can you remove black streaks and algae stains?

Yes! Those black streaks are actually algae (Gloeocapsa magma). Our specialized cleaning solutions completely remove these stains and kill the algae at its source, preventing rapid regrowth.

How long does house washing take?

Most single-family homes take 2-4 hours depending on size, siding condition, and home complexity. Larger homes or those with heavy staining may require additional time.

Do I need to be home during the service?

Not necessarily. As long as we have access to outdoor water spigots and can work around your home's exterior, you don't need to be present. We'll notify you when we arrive and before we leave.

Is house washing different from pressure washing?

Yes. House washing uses soft washing—low pressure with specialized cleaning solutions—which is much safer for siding than high-pressure washing. It's more effective too, as it kills organic growth rather than just blasting it away.
