Why does mildew keep coming back on my stucco even after I pressure wash it?
Because pressure washing only removes what's sitting on the surface. Stucco's texture holds mildew and algae inside the pores, and what survives below the surface regrows within months — often on a wall that's now also missing paint. Soft wash chemistry kills it at the root, so it doesn't just come back.
Will soft washing damage or strip my stucco paint?
No — that's the whole point of the method. Pressure is what strips paint chasing growth it can't reach. Our biocide solution runs under 500 PSI and works on contact time and chemistry, not force, so the paint finish is untouched.
What are the brown streaks on my stucco walls?
Usually oak tannin — a natural dye leached from oak leaves and branches by rain, especially common under heavy tree canopy. Pressure sets it deeper into the texture; soft wash chemistry lifts it. Decades-old staining on very porous stucco can leave a faint shadow even after treatment.
Can you clean stucco with hairline cracks or old patches?
Yes, with reduced solution strength and a sectioned rinse so nothing dwells long enough to force water into a crack. We flag any structural cracking we see at the quote — that's a repair issue, not a cleaning one, and we'll tell you honestly which is which.
