Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions to kill and remove algae, mould, lichen, mildew and organic staining from your home’s exterior surfaces. Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing cleans at the biological level — killing growth at the root — so surfaces stay cleaner for longer. It’s the only safe method for painted surfaces, render, weatherboard, timber cladding, fibre cement and delicate masonry.

Our full home wash covers every surface of your property’s exterior — rendered and brick walls, weatherboard and fibre cement cladding, eaves, fascia boards, soffits, barge boards, downpipes, window frames, outdoor light fixtures and gutters (externally). We work methodically from the top down, ensuring every surface is treated and rinsed. The result is a home that looks freshly painted without the cost — typically $350–$750 for a standard Queensland home.

High pressure can damage render, force water behind cladding, strip paint, crack mortar and void roof warranties. Soft washing uses low pressure (similar to a garden hose) combined with our professional-grade biodegradable cleaning solution. The chemistry does the work, not the pressure. This means surfaces are cleaned thoroughly without any risk of damage — and because the biological growth is killed at the root, your home stays cleaner for 2–3 times longer than a high-pressure wash alone.

A professional soft wash is an essential step before repainting your home’s exterior. Any painter will tell you that paint applied over contaminated surfaces — algae, mould, dust, oxidisation — will peel and fail prematurely, often within 12 months. Our pre-paint soft wash removes all surface contamination and provides your painter with the ideal substrate. If you’re selling, a home wash can dramatically improve street appeal and buyer perception at a fraction of the cost of other improvements.

Rendered homes develop efflorescence and algae blooms, particularly in shaded areas and near the roofline. Brick homes accumulate moss and algae in mortar joints. Weatherboard and Hardiplank homes develop mould and mildew growth in grain grooves. Timber homes and Queenslanders require the most care — low pressure to avoid forcing water into joints. Our team is trained and experienced with every cladding type found across Queensland, and we use the correct chemistry and pressure for every surface.
