Why we soft wash

High pressure is hard on shingles, paint and siding, and blasting the surface leaves the algae underneath alive to grow back. Soft washing lets a professional cleaning solution do the work at low pressure, so it kills it at the source, not just on the surface.

The SoftWash Systems process uses one third the water of pressure washing, our cleaning solutions are 100 percent biodegradable, and the results last four to six times longer than pressure washing.

Your landscaping is protected

Every job is backed by our 100% Plant Protection Guarantee. Our crews follow the three step SoftWash Systems plant protocol at every property.

  1. Divert

    Runoff is directed away from beds, lawns and the plants along your foundation.

  2. Dilute

    Landscaping is wetted with clean water so nothing concentrated settles on it.

  3. Decontaminate

    A plant wash rinses your landscaping when the cleaning is done.

Central Florida's warm, humid weather and long summer rainy season give roof algae and the green growth on siding and concrete a long season to spread, which is why cleaning that kills it at the source matters here.

Questions homeowners ask

What are the black streaks on my roof?

Algae. According to the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, Gloeocapsa magma is the most prevalent of several algae species that discolor roofs, and its natural pigments turn shingles dark brown or black over time. It is not dirt, and rinsing it off does not stop it from coming back.

Is roof soft washing the same as pressure washing?

No. We clean roofs with the ultra low pressure technique developed by SoftWash Systems. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association warns that high-pressure washing systems are likely to damage asphalt roofing and should not be used.

How long do the results last?

SoftWash Systems results last four to six times longer than pressure washing, because the cleaning solution kills the algae at the source instead of only blasting the surface.

Will the cleaning hurt my plants and landscaping?

Every job is backed by our 100% Plant Protection Guarantee, and a plant wash is included with every roof cleaning. Our crews follow the SoftWash Systems Divert, Dilute, Decontaminate protocol around your landscaping.
