Gentle De Smet Soft Washing For Siding And Roofs
Some surfaces need a softer touch. Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized solutions to loosen dirt, pollen, and organic growth on siding, trim, and certain roofing materials. This approach helps protect paint and finishes while reaching into tight textures where grime hides.
Soft washing helps safely clean siding, roofs, and delicate surfaces without the force that could damage them. We test and adjust solutions to match the material and the level of buildup, then rinse thoroughly for a fresh, even finish.
If you notice streaks on your siding, green or black discoloration, or a dull film that won't rinse away with a garden hose, soft washing is a smart fix. It pairs well with window cleaning and gutter rinses for an all-around refresh.

- Pre-Inspection: We note fragile areas, landscape, outlets, and trim so we can protect them.
- Prep & Safety: We move small items, set up hoses and surface gear, and confirm drainage.
- Clean Methodically: Driveways get even passes with a surface cleaner; siding gets a balanced soft wash; stubborn spots are treated as needed.
- Final Rinse & Review: We rinse walkways and plants, tidy up, and walk you through the results.

Common Signs Your Home Needs A Wash
Not sure if it's time to schedule? Look for:
- Marked differences in color where shade meets sun on siding or concrete.
- Green or dark streaks that keep returning on damp sides of the house.
- Tire tracks, oil spots, or rust on the driveway and garage apron.
- Dull film on porch rails, steps, and high-touch areas that won't wipe clean.
A quick check around the property can reveal where cleaning will make the biggest visual upgrade right away.
