Between the marsh, the beaches, and all the tree cover, Scarborough siding grows algae and mildew fast, especially on the shaded and north-facing sides. We soft wash homes all over town, from Pine Point to the inland developments.
Soft washing is low pressure plus the right chemistry, the opposite of blasting your house with a pressure washer. We apply a cleaning solution at a pressure softer than a garden hose; it kills the mold, mildew, and algae down at the root, and a surfactant keeps it on the siding long enough to work before we rinse it clean. Pressure washing, at 3,000 PSI and up, can chip siding, strip paint, and force water behind the panels, so we save the high pressure for hard surfaces like concrete and brick and keep it off your siding entirely.
Marsh moisture and humidity are perfect conditions for algae, so a lot of Scarborough homes need a wash every year or two to stay clean.
