Soft Washing in Alexandria and Pineville, LA

For brick, roofs, vinyl siding, stucco, and painted wood.

Not every surface can handle the force of a pressure washer. Roofing shingles, vinyl siding, stucco, and painted wood are all more delicate, and high pressure can crack, strip, or dislodge them. That's where soft washing comes in — a low-pressure cleaning method that uses specialized, biodegradable solutions to kill mold, algae, and bacteria at the source rather than just blasting it off the surface.

How it works:

Soft washing applies a cleaning solution at low pressure, allowing it to break down organic growth like algae, mold, and mildew below the surface rather than just knocking off what's visible. Because it kills growth at the root, soft-washed surfaces stay cleaner for longer than a straight pressure wash would achieve on the same material. Our solutions are chosen to be effective on the growth while safe for landscaping and pets once dry.

Why it matters:

Those dark streaks on a roof or the greenish tint creeping across vinyl siding aren't just cosmetic — they're often algae or mold actively breaking down the material over time. Left untreated, this buildup can shorten the life of roofing shingles and siding, and in some cases void manufacturer warranties that require regular cleaning.

Surfaces we clean:

Asphalt shingle and metal roofs; vinyl and fiber cement siding; stucco; brick; painted wood trim and shutters.

Built for Louisiana weather:

Central Louisiana's combination of heat, humidity, and shade from mature trees is exactly the environment algae and mold need to thrive on roofs and siding. Soft washing is often the safer, more effective choice here than pressure washing, since it treats the underlying growth rather than just the surface stain.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is soft washing safe for my roof?

Yes, it's specifically designed for delicate surfaces like shingles, where high pressure could cause damage. The low-pressure application is what makes it roof-safe.

What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

Pressure washing relies on water force to physically remove dirt; soft washing relies on a cleaning solution at low pressure to kill mold, algae, and bacteria, which tends to keep surfaces cleaner longer.

Will the cleaning solution harm my plants or pets?

We use solutions formulated to be safe for landscaping once applied and dried according to label guidance, and we take care around garden beds during application.
