Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses biodegradable solutions to kill algae, mold, and mildew at the source, then rinses them away. SurfacePro uses it to wash vinyl siding, brick, stucco, and painted exteriors throughout Cedar Rapids and Eastern Iowa because it cleans deeper and lasts longer than high pressure, without damaging the surface.
Soft washing: a gentle clean that lasts
Soft washing effectively revives surfaces by removing grime, dirt, mold, and other organic buildup without the risks of high pressure. It protects both the appearance and the structural integrity of your home or business. Learn the difference between soft washing and pressure washing.
