Soft Washing That Last
Professional soft washing for house exteriors in Des Moines and Central Iowa. Our safe, low-pressure exterior cleaning method removes mold, algae, mildew, and grime from vinyl siding, stucco, brick, and painted surfaces without damage. Results last 2-3x longer than pressure washing. Serving Ankeny, West Des Moines, Johnston, and surrounding areas.
Iowa's humidity and seasonal weather create the perfect environment for mold, algae, and organic stain buildup on your home's exterior. Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing uses professional-grade biodegradable cleaning solutions at low pressure to kill organic growth at the root — providing a deeper, longer-lasting clean that won't strip paint or damage delicate surfaces.

Soft Washing FAQ — Des Moines & Central Iowa
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water that can damage siding, strip paint, and force water behind walls. Soft washing uses professional cleaning solutions at low pressure to safely remove organic growth without risk of damage.
How much does soft washing a house cost in Des Moines?
Soft washing a typical Des Moines home costs $250-$600 depending on the home's size and condition. Multi-story homes or heavily stained exteriors may cost more.
Is soft washing safe for all siding types?
Yes! Soft washing is safe for vinyl, aluminum, wood, stucco, brick, stone, and painted surfaces. The low-pressure method and biodegradable solutions won't harm any exterior material.
How often should I have my house soft washed in Iowa?
We recommend soft washing every 1-2 years in Iowa. Homes on shaded lots or near trees may benefit from annual cleaning.
Will soft washing kill mold and algae permanently?
Soft washing kills mold and algae at the root, providing longer-lasting results than pressure washing. Results typically last 1-3 years depending on conditions.
Do you soft wash roofs too?
Yes, we can soft wash roofs to remove black streaks (Gloeocapsa magma algae) and moss. This extends roof life and improves curb appeal dramatically.
