The professionals at Lady Bird Softwash use a specialized formula blend of detergent and biodegradable chemicals, specific to your home’s needs. Softwashing not only cleans the surface, removing bacteria, mold, mildew, algae and other environmental pollutants, it continues to work beyond it’s initial application to inhibit regrowth. Which means those black and green stains are not only removed, they stay gone longer.
How do I know my home needs a softwash?
If you are wondering whether or not to wash your house, take a good walk around your home – noting any spots that look dirty or dingy. You’ll typically find much more dirt on the north side of your home, including things like black mold or algae growth. You may see the discoloration on your siding, stone work, asphalt, and brick, etc. If you live further out into the country or in a heavily wooded, shady area, you’ll notice more dust and dirt coating your exterior surfaces.
The fastest way to wash away that grime may be to pressure wash, but there’s also the option to softwash, which is less harsh than a high-pressure wash and does not damage your exterior surfaces like power washing can with high psi water blasts.
Why not power washing?
There are quite a few negatives to using a pressure washer on your exterior surfaces.
- High psi can be difficult for someone who is not equipped and can cause injury to the machine operator.
- The high pressure used on your siding can actually blow water up underneath your siding and overhangs and up into your soffit. Water in your soffit can cause water to get into your attic and soak your insulation, leading to mold and mildew quickly spreading throughout your home.
- High pressure power washing relies on pressure to blast away dirt and debris. This pressure can chip and damage paint and protective finishes leading to rust, mold, mildew and algae growing on unprotected surfaces.
Try softwashing instead.
On the other hand, the benefits of softwashing over power washing are numerous.
- Not much stronger than your garden hose, softwashing relies not on high pressure, but on specially formulated blends of algaecides, soaps and anti-microbial solutions to gently remove pollutants. Less pressure translates into less potential damage to your home.
- These anti-microbial solutions can be suited to your specific home’s needs. Depending upon the combination of which pollutants are on which exterior surfaces, the professionals at Lady Bird Softwash can customize and adapt their solutions to give your home the most thorough clean.
- Softwashing is quicker and longer lasting. A typical home can be done in less than a day. And due to the anti-microbial properties of our softwash solutions, our products continue to work on the surface of your home beyond the initial spray time. This means your home stays cleaner for longer than traditional power washing and in some cases, continues to get brighter and fresher looking for days or weeks to come.
