If the outside of your home is starting to look stained, streaked, or discolored, it’s usually not dirt alone. In North Carolina’s climate, mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria grow quickly on siding, trim, roofs, and other exterior surfaces. While many homeowners assume pressure washing is the solution, high pressure isn’t always the safest or most effective way to clean a home.
That’s why exterior softwashing has become the preferred method for residential and commercial cleaning.
Softwashing is a low-pressure cleaning process that removes organic growth at its source. Instead of blasting surfaces with force, softwashing uses professional cleaning solutions to break down mold, algae, and mildew, then gently rinses them away. The pressure used is similar to a garden hose, making it safe for delicate and finished surfaces.
This approach is especially important for materials like vinyl siding, painted surfaces, stucco, brick, wood, and roofing. High pressure can crack siding, strip paint, loosen shingles, and force water behind surfaces where moisture can cause long-term damage. Softwashing avoids those risks while delivering a deeper, longer-lasting clean.
One of the biggest advantages of softwashing is how effective it is over time. Pressure washing may remove surface stains, but it often leaves behind the microscopic organisms that cause discoloration to return. Softwashing eliminates those organisms completely. As a result, your home stays cleaner longer and requires less frequent cleanings.
Softwashing also helps protect your investment. Mold and algae don’t just affect appearance — they slowly break down exterior materials. Roof stains, for example, are often caused by algae that feed on roofing components. Removing this growth safely can help extend the life of your roof, siding, and trim, saving money on repairs and replacements down the road.
Another major benefit is curb appeal. A softwashed home looks brighter, cleaner, and better maintained. It restores original color, removes streaks and buildup, and instantly improves the overall appearance of your property. Whether you’re preparing to sell, hosting guests, or simply want your home to look its best, softwashing delivers noticeable results.
At Baker SoftWash, exterior softwashing is not a one-size-fits-all service. Every property is different, which is why each job starts with an assessment of the surface materials, level of buildup, and surrounding landscaping. Our process is designed to clean thoroughly while protecting your home and property throughout the entire service.
Softwashing is not a quick spray-and-go job. When done correctly, it requires the right equipment, the right solutions, and experience in applying them safely. The goal is not just to make your home look clean for a few weeks, but to provide a lasting clean without causing damage.
