High pressure has no business on a painted wall. It strips paint, scars render and drives water behind cladding where it quietly causes damage for years. That's why our house washing in Sydney is built around soft washing: low pressure, specialised biodegradable detergents, and dwell time that kills mould and algae at the root rather than just knocking the tops off.

The result lasts longer too — because soft washing kills the spores instead of spreading them, most homes stay clean for one to two years instead of a few months.

Our Soft Wash Process

Low-pressure rinseEverything rinsed clean — walls, windows, gardens — leaving zero residue.

Why Soft Washing Beats Blasting

Anyone who puts a high-pressure wand on painted render is gambling with your paintwork. Soft washing cleans more thoroughly, lasts longer, and is the method paint manufacturers and cladding warranties actually specify.

  • Zero paint or render damage
  • Kills mould at the root — slower regrowth
  • Biodegradable, garden-safe detergents
  • Perfect prep before painting or selling
  • Fully insured local operator
  • Free re-clean guarantee

House Washing FAQs

What exactly is soft washing?

Soft washing uses low pressure — roughly a strong garden hose — combined with specialised detergents that break down mould, algae and dirt chemically. The detergent does the work, not the pressure, which is what makes it safe on paint, render and cladding.

Is it safe for plants and pets?

Yes. We pre-wet gardens before applying detergent, rinse them again afterwards, and our products are biodegradable. Keep pets indoors during the wash and everything's back to normal within the hour.

Should I wash my house before painting?

You have to — paint won't bond to mould, chalking or grime, and most paint warranties require a properly cleaned surface. A soft wash a few days before your painter starts is the standard professional prep.

How long does a house wash take?

Single-storey homes typically take 2–3 hours; double-storey homes 3–5 depending on size and build-up. We reach most second storeys from the ground with extension equipment — no scaffolding needed.

How long will my house stay clean?

Because we kill the spores rather than smearing them around, most Sydney homes stay clean 12–24 months. Shaded, south-facing walls and coastal homes regrow faster.

Does house washing help when selling?

It's one of the highest-return presentation jobs before listing. A washed exterior lifts photography, kerb appeal and buyer first impressions for a few hundred dollars — agents recommend it constantly.
