Gentle Power for a Pristine Home: Understanding Siding Soft Wash

Your home's exterior is its first impression, constantly exposed to the elements. Over time, siding can accumulate dirt, algae, mold, and environmental grime, making your property look dull and tired. While many people think of "pressure washing" for exterior cleaning, at Prairie Breeze Cleaning in Calgary and Okotoks, we champion the superior and safer method: siding soft washing. This technique is designed to deliver a brilliant clean without the risks associated with harsh, high-pressure water, ensuring your home looks its best and stays protected.



Why a Clean Exterior Matters More Than You Think

Maintaining a clean exterior is vital for several reasons:

  • Enhances Curb Appeal: A sparkling exterior immediately boosts your home's aesthetic appeal, making a great first impression.

  • Protects Your Investment: Accumulated grime, mold, and algae can degrade siding materials over time, leading to costly repairs. Regular cleaning extends lifespan.

  • Prevents Health Hazards: Mold and mildew on exterior surfaces can contribute to allergens and impact indoor air quality, especially for those with sensitivities.

  • Increases Property Value: A well-maintained exterior signals pride of ownership and can significantly increase your home's market value.

  • Prepares for Maintenance: A clean surface is essential before any painting, sealing, or repair work, ensuring proper adhesion and finish.



Siding Cleaning Challenges & Why Soft Wash is Superior

Traditional pressure washing, while powerful, can be too aggressive for many siding materials, including vinyl, stucco, and painted surfaces. It risks:

  • Damaging Siding: High pressure can chip paint, dislodge siding panels, or even force water behind the siding, leading to moisture issues and mold growth within walls.

  • Uneven Cleaning: Pressure washers can leave unsightly streaking or "zebra stripes" if not handled perfectly.

  • Plant Damage: Harsh chemicals or uncontrolled high-pressure spray can easily harm surrounding landscaping.


This is precisely why Prairie Breeze Cleaning exclusively uses the soft wash method. Instead of brute force, soft washing relies on a gentle approach.

Our Meticulous Siding Soft Wash Process

We follow a systematic approach to ensure every siding soft wash we perform meets our high standards of cleanliness, safety, and thoroughness:

  1. Property Assessment & Preparation: Our team will assess the type of siding, identify areas of significant growth or staining, and prepare the surrounding landscape by wetting plants and covering sensitive elements to protect them from cleaning solutions.

  2. Eco-Friendly Solution Application: We apply our proprietary, biodegradable, low-pressure cleaning solution to the siding. This solution is designed to safely break down and loosen dirt, mold, algae, and grime.

  3. Dwell Time: The solution is allowed to dwell on the surface for an appropriate period, giving it time to effectively work its magic on contaminants. This minimizes the need for aggressive scrubbing or high pressure.

  4. Gentle Soft Brush & Low-Pressure Rinse: Using a soft brush for gentle agitation where needed, along with specialized nozzles on a low-pressure system (similar to a garden hose pressure, typically under 500 PSI), we thoroughly rinse away the loosened dirt and solution from your siding, leaving it clean and residue-free. Please note: We do NOT use high-pressure washing on siding, as it can cause significant damage.

  5. Final Inspection: A comprehensive final inspection ensures all surfaces are clean, streak-free, and restored to their optimal appearance. We ensure your landscape is rinsed and clear.
