Why Your Deck Needs Soft Washing
Over time, wooden decks can accumulate organic growths such as algae, mold, mildew, and moss. These contaminants not only diminish the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space but can also create slippery surfaces, posing safety hazards. Traditional high-pressure washing methods may be too harsh for wood, potentially causing damage such as splintering or stripping away protective coatings. Soft washing, on the other hand, employs a low-pressure spray combined with effective cleaning solutions to safely and efficiently cleanse your deck without causing harm.

Our Soft Washing Process
Our soft washing procedure is designed to be both safe and effective:
Inspection: We begin with a thorough assessment of your deck to identify specific areas affected by contaminants and determine the appropriate treatment.
Preparation: Surrounding vegetation and property features are protected to prevent any impact from the cleaning solutions.
Application of Cleaning Solution: A biodegradable solution is gently applied using low-pressure equipment. This solution penetrates and eliminates algae, mold, mildew, and other organic matter at their roots, ensuring a comprehensive clean.
Dwell Time: The solution is allowed to sit for a specified period, effectively breaking down contaminants without the need for high-pressure washing.
Rinsing: The deck is gently rinsed with clean water, removing residual cleaning agents and leaving your deck looking revitalized.
Post-Cleaning Care: After the cleaning process, we recommend allowing the deck to dry thoroughly before applying any sealants or stains to protect the wood and enhance its appearance.
