We recommend opting for soft washing instead of pressure washing. Soft washing combines chemicals and low-pressure cleaning, protecting your home’s exterior surfaces without causing damage. It’s completely safe for all outdoor surfaces.

At FJ Softwash, we take great care with your plants. To protect them during pressure washing, we do the following:

1. • We moisten the plants before washing: We water them before starting the pressure wash. This helps prevent chemical burns caused by products like bleach.
   • We cover the plants: We use tarps to shield shrubs and small plants from chemicals and water during the wash.

Each property is different, and several factors influence the need for washing your house. If the house is surrounded by many trees and landscaping, it will get dirty faster. The general rule is to do it every 18 months to 2 years. However, it’s wise to check the dirt level on your siding. Run your finger across the surface to assess how much dirt has accumulated. If there’s a thick layer, it’s time for pressure washing. Remember that having a clean house is what we all want, and at FJ Softwash, we’re here to assist you. Additionally, don’t wait too long to clean, as dirt buildup can affect both the appearance and health of your home.

It is not necessary for you to be present during the washing. However, it is important that our team has access to the areas requiring cleaning to ensure efficient and quality work.

Absolutely! Before our FJ Softwash experts arrive, ensure that you close doors and windows, clear the deck, and keep vehicles out of the driveway. This way, we’ll be ready to tackle the dirt and leave your space spotless.

FJ Softwash’s pressure washing will remove ORGANIC stains, such as mold, mildew, algae, dirt, dust, food residue, bird droppings, and many other organic stains. However, some more stubborn stains may require additional treatments.
