How We Do the Work
Honest breakdowns of our cleaning process — the chemistry, the equipment, and the reasoning behind how we approach each surface type. Written by Max Culbreth.
Why We Use a Stronger Mix for Roof Washing — Our Soft Wash Roof Process
Roof black streaks are a cyanobacteria called Gloeocapsa magma — not dirt. We apply a 3–4% sodium hypochlorite mix at low pressure to kill the growth at the root, the same method shingle manufacturers recommend.
How We Clean Wood Decks and Fences Without Causing Damage
Wood is porous and unforgiving. Too-strong bleach raises the grain and weakens fibers. We use a 1% SH solution and post-treat with oxalic acid to neutralize residual bleach and brighten gray wood back to its natural color.
How We Soft Wash House Siding to Remove Algae and Mildew
The green and black growth on your siding is a living organism — pressure alone doesn't kill it. We use a 1–2% sodium hypochlorite solution with a surfactant to kill algae at the root, with careful plant protection throughout.
Our Concrete and Driveway Cleaning Process — Pre-Treatment to Post-Treatment
Concrete cleaning is more than pointing a pressure washer at the ground. We pre-treat oil stains and organic growth separately, use a surface cleaner for even results, and post-treat to finish the job completely.
