Coastal house washing is the bread-and-butter job in this zone.
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.
