Encinitas: Encinitas sits in a heavy marine-layer zone, with overnight fog reaching deep through Olivenhain and into the inland eastern pockets. North-facing siding, stucco, and roof slopes accumulate black-streak algae (Gloeocapsa magma) within 12-18 months of any clean. Salt-air residue on west-facing walls in Leucadia and Cardiff requires regular soft-wash.

Coastal house washing is the bread-and-butter job in this zone. Black streak algae hits north-facing stucco first, and salt residue dulls everything within two miles of the water. Soft-wash SH chemistry kills the organism at the root, not just the surface.

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.
