WHAT WE DO

What full house soft washing actually involves

Every home in Petaluma, Sonoma, Windsor, and surrounding cities fights the same battle against coastal moisture and shade: algae streaks, mildew spots, and a layer of grime that builds up slowly enough that you stop noticing it. By the time most homeowners call us, the buildup has been there for a year or more.

We apply an eco-safe cleaning solution at low pressure across your entire home's exterior — siding, stucco, trim, soffits, and entry areas. The solution breaks down algae and mildew at a molecular level, so we never need to blast your surfaces with damaging high pressure to get them clean.

WHY OUR METHOD

Why high pressure is the wrong tool for most home exteriors

Stucco, vinyl siding, and painted wood are not built to withstand high-pressure water. We've seen what happens when homeowners in Sonoma County hire a generic "pressure washing" company: stripped paint, water forced behind siding, cracked stucco that costs thousands to repair.

Soft washing achieves a deeper clean without any of that risk. It's slower, more deliberate, and it's the only method we trust on a home's primary surfaces.

HOW WE WORK

The SV Exterior 4-Point Soft Wash Refresh

Step 01

Inspection & Protection

We walk the full exterior of your home, identify every surface type — stucco, vinyl siding, wood, painted trim — and cover all plants, fixtures, and outdoor electrical components before any solution touches your property.

Step 02

Soft Wash Treatment

An eco-safe, biodegradable soft wash solution is applied at low pressure across all siding, stucco, trim, and soffits. It breaks down algae and mildew at a molecular level — no blasting, no risk of stripping paint or forcing water behind your siding.

Step 03

Precision Rinse & Detail

A gentle rinse removes the solution and the grime it has lifted from your surfaces. We hand-detail entry points, window sills, and trim edges — the spots most crews skip. Every surface is checked before we move to the next.

Step 04

Walkthrough & Documentation

We walk the full property with you before we leave. Before and after photos are sent to your phone the same day, side by side. You don't sign off until you're completely satisfied with the results.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is soft washing safe for stucco?

Yes — soft washing is actually the recommended method for stucco. High pressure can crack or strip textured stucco finishes, while soft washing cleans effectively without any physical force on the surface.

How long does a full house wash take?

Most homes take 2 to 4 hours, depending on size and the level of buildup. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we book your job.

Will the cleaning solution harm my landscaping?

We cover all plants and landscaping before applying any solution, and our products are biodegradable and safe once diluted and rinsed.
