Question 1

What is soft washing and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Soft washing uses low-pressure water and eco-friendly detergents to eliminate mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria from exterior surfaces. It is ideal for roofs, stucco, siding, vinyl, painted brick, and delicate materials across Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Dunedin, Tampa, and nearby Gulf Coast cities.

Question 2

Is soft washing safe for paint, landscaping, and windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Soft washing is low-pressure and plant-safe. We pre-soak landscaping, use biodegradable detergents, and rinse all surfaces with gentle water pressure to protect windows, paint, and exterior finishes.

Question 3

How often should I soft wash my Florida home?

Accepted Answer

Most homes in humid Gulf Coast areas like Palm Harbor, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg benefit from soft washing every 12–18 months due to algae, shade, humidity, and tree coverage.

Question 4

What surfaces should be pressure washed?

Accepted Answer

Pressure washing is ideal for driveways, sidewalks, patios, brick, curbs, pool decks, and commercial concrete surfaces. We use commercial-grade equipment and adjust PSI to clean safely and effectively.

Question 5

Why does my roof have black streaks?

Accepted Answer

Black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa Magma, an algae that thrives in Florida humidity. Soft washing removes it safely and restores your roof.

Question 6

What is paver sealing and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

Paver sealing protects against fading, weeds, sand loss, mold, and Florida UV damage. We clean, re-sand, and seal pavers to restore color and enhance durability for homes in Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Tampa, and surrounding areas.

Question 7

How often should I clean my pool cage?

Accepted Answer

Pool cages in humid Gulf Coast cities like Palm Harbor, Dunedin, and St. Petersburg should be cleaned every 6–12 months to prevent algae and oxidation.

Question 8

Why is gutter cleaning important in Florida?

Accepted Answer

Gutters clog quickly due to storms, pollen, and debris. Cleaning them prevents roof leaks, fascia rot, mold growth, and foundation damage in Florida homes.
