Safely treat algae, mildew, and organic staining on siding, roofs, stucco, and other delicate surfaces without relying on damaging high pressure.

GENTLE ON SURFACES, TOUGH ON BUILDUP
Clean Delicate Exteriors the Right Way
Green siding, black roof streaks, and mildew stains do not always need more pressure. In fact, force can push water behind siding, mark stucco, strip paint, or shorten the life of roofing materials. Soft washing uses low pressure with targeted cleaning solutions to loosen and treat organic buildup at its source.
LIWCPRO evaluates the surface before cleaning and chooses the mix, dwell time, and rinse process carefully. The result is a cleaner exterior without treating your home like a concrete driveway.

Organic Growth Common on Long Island Homes
Roof Streaks
Dark organic staining can make shingles look older and should never be blasted with high pressure.
Mildew & Grime
Humidity, salt air, pollen, and tree cover leave visible buildup on vertical surfaces.
Delicate Finishes
Low pressure is better suited to many painted, textured, and easily marked surfaces.
THE LIWCPRO PROCESS
Careful from Preparation to Final Rinse
Assess
We identify the material, staining, runoff, landscaping, and any vulnerable areas.
Protect
We prepare nearby plants, fixtures, openings, and surfaces before applying treatment.
Treat
A professional solution breaks down organic growth while low pressure protects the substrate.
Rinse
We rinse thoroughly, review the result, and leave the work area tidy.
PRESSURE IS A TOOL, NOT A DEFAULT
Soft Washing vs. Power Washing
Soft washing is the better choice for surfaces that could be damaged by strong water force or where the main problem is algae, mildew, or mold. Power washing is usually reserved for harder materials such as concrete, appropriate pavers, brick, and stone.
Many properties need both methods in different areas. Read our guide to soft washing vs. pressure washing, or explore our power-washing service.

Soft Washing FAQs
What exactly is soft washing?
Soft washing combines low water pressure with professional cleaning solutions. The solution treats organic buildup, allowing it to be rinsed away without relying on force alone.
Is soft washing safe for roof shingles?
Roof shingles should not be pressure washed. Soft washing is the lower-pressure approach commonly used for organic roof staining, with methods adjusted to the roof and surrounding property.
How long do soft-washing results last?
Timing depends on shade, tree cover, moisture, surface material, and local exposure. Treating growth at the source often produces a longer-lasting result than simply rinsing the surface.
Will the cleaning solution harm plants?
Professional preparation matters. We account for nearby landscaping, wet and protect sensitive areas as appropriate, manage application carefully, and rinse thoroughly.
Can you soft wash commercial buildings?
Yes, when the building surface and access are suitable. We can assess storefronts, offices, and other commercial exteriors.
