Ogunquit’s cottages and inns sit right in the salt air off the ocean, and that humidity grows algae and mildew on siding fast. We soft wash homes and properties all over town to keep them looking sharp through the season.
Here’s why we don’t just blast it. A pressure washer throws 3,000 PSI or more at the wall, and on siding that force cracks material, strips paint, and pushes water up behind the panels. Soft washing flips that: we lay down a cleaning solution at low pressure, gentler than your garden hose, and let it do the work. The solution kills the algae, mold, and mildew at the root while a surfactant helps it cling and soak in, and then we rinse it away. Because the growth is dead and not just knocked loose, it stays clean far longer.
Oceanfront humidity and salt feed growth, and with a lot of seasonal and rental properties here, a wash before the season keeps everything presentable.
