Soft wash, explained in one minute
Siding doesn't get dirty here so much as it gets colonized — algae, mildew, and mold feeding on humidity and shade. Blasting it with high pressure knocks the color off the surface but leaves the organism rooted, so it's back by next summer; worse, pressure forces water behind vinyl panels and into Hardie seams, which is how DIY washes turn into moisture problems. Soft washing works the opposite way: low pressure — gentler than rain — carrying a detergent mix that kills the growth, dwell time to let it work, then a thorough freshwater rinse. The clean lasts longer because the thing growing on your house is dead, not just paler.
Every siding type in the Lowcountry
- Vinyl — the Summerville default; soft wash keeps water out from behind panels and oxidation undisturbed.
- Hardie / fiber cement — manufacturer guidance is explicit: low pressure only. We follow it; your paint warranty survives.
- Brick — takes the green in shaded courses; soft wash lifts it without eroding aged mortar.
- Stucco — the most pressure-fragile surface on the list; detergent does the work, never the wand.
Windows get rinsed, plants get pre-soaked and rinsed after, and anything delicate gets covered. The walk-around at the end is with you, not after we've left.
Pollen season note
Every April the Lowcountry paints itself yellow. Washing mid-pollen means a re-coat within days — so for purely cosmetic washes we'll honestly suggest late spring timing, after the pines finish. Mildew and algae, though, don't wait politely, and neither do HOA letters or home sales — those we schedule immediately. Listing a house? A $300 wash photographs like a $3,000 upgrade.
