House & Siding Washing — Soft Wash Only, Zero Damage

Low-pressure soft washing under 500 PSI for every siding type. Stucco, vinyl, HardiePlank, wood. Never pressure washed.

Your Siding Protected — Not Damaged

Your home's siding is the largest surface area on your property — and the most expensive to repair if damaged. Bay Area fog, coastal humidity, and the microclimate variations from the Peninsula to the South Bay create the perfect environment for algae, mildew, mold, and mineral staining on every siding type. Willow Wash exclusively uses low-pressure soft washing (under 500 PSI) with biodegradable solutions for all house and siding cleaning. High pressure on siding forces water behind panels, cracks stucco, strips HardiePlank paint, and creates moisture intrusion that leads to rot. We never do that.

Service Details

Siding Types We Clean

01

Vinyl Siding

Soft wash removes algae, mildew streaks, and oxidation from vinyl without warping panels or forcing water behind the surface.

02

Stucco Exterior

Biodegradable solutions applied at under 200 PSI — safe for stucco's porous surface without creating hairline cracks.

03

HardiePlank / Fiber Cement

Paint-safe soft washing that removes biological growth and atmospheric staining without stripping the factory finish.

04

Wood Siding

Low-pressure treatment that cleans without raising grain or splintering. Safe for painted and stained wood.

05

Aluminum Siding

Removes chalk oxidation and dark algae streaks that develop on aluminum over time.

06

Brick Exterior

Efflorescence removal and algae treatment for brick surfaces, at PSI calibrated to protect mortar joints.

How It Works

Our House Washing Process

1

Surface Inspection

We assess each siding type, note any problem areas, cracks, or failing caulk before applying any product.

2

Plant and Surface Protection

All landscaping, windows, and sensitive surfaces are protected or pre-watered before cleaning begins.

3

Solution Application and Dwell Time

Biodegradable cleaning solutions are applied at low pressure and allowed to dwell — breaking down algae and mildew chemically.

4

Low-Pressure Rinse

Final rinse under 500 PSI carries away all residue. Clean, streak-free results on every surface.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our exterior cleaning services across the Bay Area.

No — and neither should any reputable contractor. High pressure creates hairline cracks in stucco that lead to moisture intrusion and expensive repairs. We soft wash all stucco at under 200 PSI with biodegradable solutions.
Most Bay Area homes benefit from exterior washing once a year. Properties in fog-heavy areas like Daly City, San Mateo, or anywhere with significant tree canopy may benefit from twice a year due to faster algae growth.
Soft washing will not strip paint. Our solutions and low-pressure rinse are specifically designed for painted surfaces. High pressure is the cause of paint stripping — which is exactly why we don't use it on siding.
Yes. All solutions are biodegradable and plant-safe. We also pre-water all adjacent landscaping before applying any product.
Yes. We work around all fixtures carefully and take precautions with exterior outlets, light fixtures, and any areas where water intrusion could be a concern.
Most single-story homes take 2–3 hours. Two-story homes and larger properties run 3–5 hours depending on the amount of buildup.
House washing typically ranges from $250–$500 for most residential properties in the Bay Area, depending on square footage, number of stories, and amount of biological growth. We provide free on-site estimates.
No. All work is performed from the exterior. You don't need to be home, though we do ask that all windows and doors are closed before we begin.
