Low Pressure Cleaning For Your Property
Professional Soft Washing Service In Williamsburg
Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low water pressure combined with specially formulated cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, mold, and mildew from surfaces that can’t handle the force of traditional pressure washing. This makes it a great solution for keeping your Williamsburg home or roof looking clean and maintained.
Williamsburg’s humidity and tree cover make it easy for algae and mildew to take hold on siding, roofs, and other shaded surfaces. Regular soft washing helps prevent buildup and keeps your property looking its best year-round.
What Is Soft Washing?
Instead of blasting contaminants away, soft washing treats the root of the problem, usually organic growth, by killing it at the source. The water and cleaner is applied at very low pressure, under 500 PSI, which is about the strength of a garden hose with a little force behind it. It’s much safer for surfaces like vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, and especially roof shingles.
The Soft Washing Process
One of the key differences with soft washing is in the chemistry. The cleaning solution kills organic material. Once applied, the solution sits on the surface long enough to break down and kill the growth. Then it’s rinsed off gently with clean water. No blasting and no damage to the surface.
At Doctor Clean, we adjust the solution depending on the surface we’re cleaning. What works on a roof isn’t the same as what you’d use on siding or painted trim. We have the experience to know the right application for the right surface for soft washing.
Why Choose Soft Washing?
Soft washing is the better choice when you’re dealing with things like algae, moss, or lichen. What you’re seeing isn’t just static dirt. It’s living growth, and it tends to come back fast if you don’t fully kill it.
Washing with high pressure can remove the visible layer, which helps a lot for certain surfaces, but soft washing goes deeper by using a cleaning solution that kills the growth at the root. On certain porous surfaces the natural matter can become embedded. For that you need a process that’s going to not only reach it, but kill it.

Soft Washing Frequently Asked Questions
What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low pressure and a specialized solution to clean exterior surfaces. Unlike pressure washing, it relies on the solution to do the heavy lifting rather than the force of the water. It’s the preferred method for surfaces that can’t handle high pressure without being damaged.
What type of solution is used for a soft wash?
We use a professional grade cleaning solution mixed with water and a soap that helps it stick to the surface instead of running off. This gives it more time to break down algae, mold, and grime before it’s rinsed away. The mixture is adjusted depending on the surface being cleaned to make sure it’s effective without being too harsh.
What types of surfaces are cleaned using soft washing?
Soft washing works well on roofs, siding, stucco, wood, painted surfaces, and screen enclosures. Basically any surface where high pressure could cause damage is a good candidate for soft washing.
What types of buildup does soft washing remove?
Soft washing is effective on algae, mold, mildew, dirt, and bacteria. It doesn’t just clean the surface either, the solution kills the growth at the source which helps keep it from coming back as quickly.
Will the soft wash solution damage my plants or harm my pets?
No. We pre-wet all surrounding plants before we start and rinse them down thoroughly when we’re done. As for pets, we recommend keeping them inside during the cleaning just as a precaution until the solution has been rinsed away.
