Descanso sits at ~3,400 ft elevation on SR-79 between Alpine and Pine Valley with 20-25" annual rainfall, frequent freeze nights in winter, and dense forest canopy. Mountain moss on north-facing wood siding, organic growth on shaded decks, and pine-debris cleanup dominate the work.. Mountain homes run heavy on cedar siding and wood trim.
What is soft washing?
Low-pressure application (typically 60–80 PSI at the wall) of a cleaning solution, sodium hypochlorite plus a surfactant that keeps it on the surface long enough to work. The chemistry kills algae, mildew, and gloeocapsa. No tip of a pressure wand ever touches your siding.
Will it hurt my plants?
Soft-wash pros do house washes every day around rose bushes, lemon trees, and Japanese maples. The damage stories come from DIY mixes that skip the pre-wet and use uncut SH.
