When most people think of exterior cleaning, they picture powerful pressure washers blasting away dirt. While that’s effective for some surfaces, it’s not always the safest method, especially for delicate siding, painted finishes, stucco, or roofs. That’s where soft washing comes in. For many commercial properties in Southern California, soft washing is the safest and most effective way to do that.
Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing uses low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to break down dirt, stains, mold, and algae at their source. This method is gentle on sensitive surfaces, such as stucco, EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), painted facades, and signage, common materials in SoCal commercial architecture.
Why soft washing is ideal for commercial buildings:
Prevents damage to siding, signage, and painted finishes
Removes organic growth that can stain and weaken surfaces
Enhances curb appeal for clients, tenants, and visitors
Extends the life of your building’s exterior materials
In Southern California’s climate, pollutants, dust, and coastal moisture can quickly dull your building’s appearance. Regular soft washing not only keeps your property looking sharp but also helps you avoid costly repairs from neglect or surface damage.
