Soft Wash Cleaning for Delicate Surfaces
Low-pressure cleaning that safely removes algae, mold, and mildew from siding, roofs, and more — without the risk of damage from high-pressure washing.
Why Soft Wash? Because Not Every Surface Needs High Pressure
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove organic growth like algae, mold, mildew, and lichen from delicate surfaces. Unlike power washing, it relies on the cleaning solution — not brute force — to do the heavy lifting.
It's the right choice for vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, roofing shingles, and any surface that could be cracked, chipped, or stripped by high-pressure water. If you've ever seen a pressure washer leave marks on wood or blow chunks out of old mortar, you know why soft washing exists.
Philadelphia Property Pros uses soft wash systems with specialized cleaning solutions that target algae, mold, and bacteria at the root — so your surfaces stay cleaner for longer. We treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
Our Soft Wash Process
A careful, solution-based approach that cleans thoroughly without any risk of surface damage.
Surface Assessment
We inspect your property to identify the surface materials, the type of growth present, and any areas that need special attention — like painted trim, windows, or landscaping.
Apply Cleaning Solution
Our cleaning solution is applied at low pressure. It breaks down algae, mold, and mildew at a cellular level — killing the growth at its root, not just rinsing the surface.
Dwell & Rinse
The solution is given time to work, then gently rinsed away with low-pressure water. The result is a surface that's not just clean, but treated to resist regrowth for months.
Final Inspection
We walk the property with you to verify every surface looks great. Any spots that need extra attention are retreated on the spot — we don't leave until the job is done right.

Why Soft Wash?
Here's why Philadelphia homeowners and businesses choose us for their soft wash needs.
Safe for Delicate Surfaces
Vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, and roofing shingles can all be damaged by high pressure. Soft washing cleans them thoroughly without any risk.
Kills Mold & Algae at the Root
Our cleaning solutions don't just rinse off the surface — they eliminate organic growth at its source, so it doesn't come back as fast.
Longer-Lasting Results
Because we treat the underlying growth, soft washed surfaces typically stay clean 2–3x longer than surfaces that are only pressure washed.
Residential & Commercial
From home siding to commercial storefronts, we soft wash properties of all sizes across Greater Philadelphia.
Restore Your Home's Look
Green and black streaks on your siding make your whole house look neglected. One soft wash brings back that fresh, clean appearance instantly.
Manufacturer-Recommended
Most siding and roofing manufacturers recommend soft washing over pressure washing. It's the cleaning method that protects your warranty.
Soft Wash FAQs
