Soft Washing In Prescott Valley, AZ
Stucco, painted siding, wood and other delicate exteriors across Prescott Valley and Prescott, cleaned with cleaner and a rinse close to garden hose pressure, so nothing is stripped.
Pressure washing and soft washing are not the same thing
Pressure washing uses force to blast contamination off hard surfaces. Soft washing uses cleaner to do the work and rinses gently.
Soft washing is for the surfaces that high pressure ruins: stucco, painted siding, wood, vinyl, awnings and lattice. A biodegradable cleaner breaks down algae, mildew, dust and the red dirt splash band, sits for a few minutes, and a low pressure rinse carries it off. Choosing wrong is how siding ends up stripped and mortar ends up on the ground.
In the high desert the north facing walls and shaded patios grow algae and mildew where moisture lingers, and the monsoon throws grime up the base of every wall. A soft wash takes that off a stucco home without etching the finish, and it is the right way to wash most of the houses in Prescott Valley.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is soft washing safe for stucco?
Yes, and it is the only safe way to wash it. Stucco is soft and porous, so it gets cleaner and a low pressure rinse that lifts dirt, streaks and mildew without etching the surface or forcing water into cracks.
What is the dark band along the bottom of my walls?
Monsoon splash back. Heavy rain bounces dirt up the bottom two feet of every wall, and it dries into a grime band. A soft wash takes it off, and it is one of the most visible changes on a Prescott Valley home.
Will the cleaner hurt my plants?
We cover or rinse plants before and after and use biodegradable cleaners, so landscaping comes through the wash fine.
How often should a house be soft washed?
Every year or two for most homes here. North facing walls and shaded patios grow algae faster and may want it yearly, especially after a wet monsoon.
Can you soft wash and clean the windows in one visit?
Yes, and most customers do it that way. The house is washed first and the glass finished with pure water afterward, so nothing from the wash dries on the windows.
