2. What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

Soft washing uses low pressure combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove mold, mildew, algae, and black streaks from delicate surfaces like siding and roofs.

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to clean hard surfaces such as concrete, driveways, and sidewalks. Using the wrong method can damage your home, which is why professional service is recommended.

3. How often should I have my house or property cleaned?

Most homes in North Carolina benefit from exterior cleaning every 12–18 months. Factors that may require more frequent cleaning include:

• Homes in shaded or humid areas

• Algae or mold visible on siding or roof

• High traffic driveways or commercial buildings

  Our goal is to clean effectively without causing damage.

5. Do you use chemicals in your cleaning process? Are they safe?

Yes, we use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaning solutions designed for home and environmental safety. They effectively remove algae, mold, mildew, and grime without harming plants, pets, or surfaces when applied correctly.
