Whether it’s from mold growth, debris buildup, or stains from spills, these small messes can accumulate and start to impact the appearance of your exterior surfaces.

Soft Washing in Lafayette, Louisiana

Here at Veteran Exteriors, our skilled team has the knowledge and skills required to clean most exterior materials using soft washing techniques. If you haven’t heard of soft washing before, you can think of it like a gentler alternative to pressure washing. Soft washing utilizes small amounts of water and biodegradable cleaning solutions that specifically target common contaminants, such as mold and dirt, and gently wash these elements away. After a soft washing service, your exterior will be left blemish-free and sanitized, making it more difficult for contaminants to accumulate in the future.

We prefer to use soft washing methods for most jobs since these techniques are safer for your property, landscape, or family than traditional pressure washing. Pressure washing is only suitable for highly durable surfaces, such as concrete, as the high water pressure can dent or damage more delicate materials. Furthermore, soft washing cleansers are biodegradable, so you don’t have to worry about damaging or harming your garden, lawn, or pets.

Soft Washing FAQs

Here at Veteran Exteriors, we understand that most people think of pressure washing when they think of exterior cleaning, and they, therefore, have questions about soft washing. Below, you’ll find the answers to some of the questions we get asked, and you’re always welcome to call and speak with us if you don’t see the answers you need here.

What kinds of surfaces is soft washing safe for?
Soft washing is a good option for virtually any exterior surface, from delicate materials like shingle roofing and vinyl siding to sturdier surfaces like brick walkways and patios or wooded decks.
Will soft washing permanently remove mold, dirt, and stains?

As nice as that would be, there’s no way to permanently prevent organic growth like mold, algae, and moss. The same goes for dirt and other grime – over time, it will eventually creep back, no matter how thoroughly you clean it. The good news is that our results address organic contaminants like mold, bacteria, and algae at their root and help slow regrowth, so you get longer-lasting results than you would from power washing.

Are my plants and lawn safe while you’re soft washing my property?
We take precautions to protect plants and landscaping, but our chemical blend does include bleach, which may cause some distress for your plants. However, we take steps to neutralize any lasting adverse effects as much as we can, and soft washing is still less dangerous for plants than pressure washing because there is no risk of them getting accidentally blasted with a harsh spray nozzle.
Is there a set schedule I need to get on?
The frequency of services will depend on a variety of factors, such as the condition of the surface you need to be cleaned, climate conditions, level of foot traffic or use, and other considerations. Many property owners choose to have soft washing done at least once per year, but our team is happy to consult with you about the best schedule for your unique property.
