Is Soft Washing Safe for My Home?

Yes — and that’s exactly why we use it.

Unlike traditional power washing (which uses high-pressure water), soft washing relies on specialized cleaning solutions and low-pressure water to gently remove dirt, algae, mold, and mildew from your siding, roof, deck, and more.

That means:

• No blasting away at paint or siding
• No risk of water intrusion behind trim or shingles
• No damaged screens, seals, or windows

The solutions we use are biodegradable, pet-safe once dry, and specially formulated to break down organic buildup — not your home.

Soft Washing: The Safe, Quiet Solution for a Cleaner Home

When most people think about exterior cleaning, they picture loud machines, intense water pressure, and the fear of damaged siding or plants. But here’s the good news:

There’s a better way.

It’s called soft washing — and it’s the method we use because it’s safer, quieter, and more effective for most homes and surfaces.

How Long Do Power and Soft Washing Results Last?

One of the most common questions we hear is: “How long will my home or business stay clean after a power or soft wash?”

The answer depends on a few factors, but in general, a professional soft washing service can keep surfaces looking their best anywhere from 6 months to 1 year. With power washing on the ground (concrete, bricks, pavers, etc.), it’s usually areas where there are lots of foot traffic and/or grease, drink spillage, etc. and those should be cleaned quite a bit more frequent (weekly, monthly, quarterly)! 

What Affects Longevity?

• Environment: Properties surrounded by trees, shade, or heavy moisture may see algae, mold, or mildew return sooner.
• Surface Type: Concrete driveways, patios, and walkways often stay clean longer than siding or decks, which can collect buildup faster.
• Weather: Areas with lots of rain, wind, or seasonal pollen may need more frequent cleanings.
• Preventative Care: Regular maintenance—like gutter cleaning or trimming back vegetation—can help extend the results of a wash.
• High Foot Traffic Spots: Sidewalks and entryways wear down quicker and lose that fresh clean look faster. Regular washes keep these busy areas safe, spotless and welcoming for guests.

The StarCare Advantage
With professional equipment and the right cleaning methods, StarCare Power Wash ensures a deep, thorough clean that lasts as long as possible. Many of our customers schedule annual or twice-a-year cleanings to keep their property looking fresh and protected year-round.

Bottom line: A power wash isn’t just a quick fix—it’s a smart investment in your property’s curb appeal and protection.

Extend Your Roof’s Life — Without Replacing It

Replacing a roof is expensive. But regular soft washing can help you avoid it for years.

By removing harmful buildup like algae and moss, soft washing reduces the wear and tear that leads to early roof failure. It also improves your home’s curb appeal — making your roof look newer, without a full replacement.

Think of it as preventative care for one of your biggest investments.

A clean roof isn’t just about looks — it’s about protecting your home from the top down.

What’s Growing on Your Roof — And Why It Matters

Those black streaks or green patches on your roof? They’re not just ugly — they’re alive.

Algae, moss, and lichen thrive in damp, shaded areas and feed on the materials in your shingles. Left untreated, they can cause premature aging, moisture damage, and costly repairs.

Soft washing doesn’t just clean the surface — it targets the root of the problem, using eco-friendly solutions to kill growth at the source.

The result? A cleaner, healthier roof that lasts longer — without the risks of high-pressure damage.

Yes, Soft Washing is Safe for Your Roof

Think your roof is too fragile to clean? Soft washing is designed exactly for that.

Asphalt shingles, tile, and other roofing materials can be easily damaged by high pressure. Soft washing gently removes black streaks, moss, and algae without lifting or cracking your shingles — protecting both your roof and your warranty.
