East County homes get a yearly coating of granite dust and wildfire smoke residue. Soft wash clears it without driving water into the stucco cracks. We rinse generously so nothing dries into a chalky haze on the siding.

La Mesa runs an older established East County community with significant 1920s-1950s craftsman and Spanish-revival housing stock, hillside view properties along Mount Helix and the surrounding ridges, and the tight commercial corridor along La Mesa Boulevard. Stucco soft-wash, wood-deck restoration, and built-up-paint-protective chemistry dominate the residential scope.. East County homes get a yearly coating of granite dust and wildfire smoke residue.
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.
