From York Beach to Cape Neddick, York homes face salt air and ocean humidity that grow algae and mildew on the siding, worst on the shaded and water-facing walls. We soft wash houses all over town, near the beach and back inland.
The fix for green and black growth isn’t force, it’s chemistry. We soft wash: a cleaning solution laid down at low pressure that kills the algae, mildew, and mold at the root rather than just blowing the surface off. A surfactant in the mix helps it cling and penetrate, and once it’s done its job we rinse the siding clean. It’s safe on vinyl, wood, and paint because the pressure stays low, and it lasts longer than a pressure-wash because dead growth doesn’t come right back.
The coastal damp feeds growth year-round, and homes near the water see it fastest. A soft wash every year or two keeps the siding clean.
