With all of Summerville’s pines and shade, mildew and algae on siding is just about guaranteed, you see the green creeping up the shaded sides all over town. That’s most of what we soft wash out here.
A lot of folks assume their house needs to be pressure washed. On siding it doesn’t, and it shouldn’t, high pressure can crack panels, strip paint, and force water in behind the walls. We soft wash instead: low pressure plus a cleaning solution that does the real work, killing the mildew, mold, and algae at the root with a surfactant that helps it dwell, then a clean rinse. It’s safe on vinyl, stucco, wood, and paint, and it holds up longer because we killed the growth rather than just rinsing it off.
Heavy tree cover and Lowcountry humidity keep Summerville’s homes damp and shaded, perfect for mildew. Soft washing clears it and holds longer since we kill the growth, not just rinse it.
FAQ
My house is in the pines and always looks green. What is that? Mildew and algae from the shade and humidity. Soft washing kills it at the root and cleans the siding right up.
Is it safe on older siding? Yes. The low pressure is gentle on older and wood siding, and we test before we start.
