Iron StandardExterior Cleaning

A house wash, not a power blast.

Siding, soffits and painted surfaces get low pressure and a cleaning solution, not force that drives water behind the boards.

Soft washing

The shaded side goes first.

Damp air and shade feed the growth on siding long before the sunny wall ever shows it.

How we do it

Done right, it stays done longer.

The growth is the reason siding looks dirty, so the solution has to kill it. Force on its own just moves it around and pushes water where it should not go.

  • Vinyl siding: The green-black film that builds up on the shaded side first.
  • Hardie & fiber cement: Cleaned without stripping or chalking the finish.
  • Stucco & painted wood: Low pressure only. The solution does the work.

Soft washing questions

Asked and answered.

What is soft washing, exactly?

Low pressure, closer to a garden hose, plus a solution that kills the mold and algae. Killing the growth makes it last.

Is it safe for vinyl and painted surfaces?

That is the point of it. High pressure on siding can force water behind the boards and mark paint. Soft washing puts the work on the solution instead of the pressure.
