Wicked Washers CTX uses low-pressure biodegradable solutions to safely eliminate mold, mildew, algae, and black streaks from your home's exterior — without damaging siding, paint, or shingles. Results last 4–6× longer than pressure washing alone.
Soft washing is a professional cleaning method that replaces high-pressure water with a low-pressure application of biodegradable cleaning solutions. Instead of blasting dirt off your home with force, soft washing kills the biological growth at the root — algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria — so it doesn't grow back for years.
The result is a deeper, longer-lasting clean that won't void your roof warranty, damage your siding, or strip your paint — something pressure washing at high PSI absolutely can do.
Low pressure means zero risk of damaged siding, cracked caulking, broken window seals, or stripped paint. Safe for vinyl, wood, stucco, EIFS, Hardie board, and brick.
Because we kill the biology causing the staining — not just wash it away — results last significantly longer. Most homes need soft washing every 2–3 years in Central Texas's climate.
Algae and mold cause permanent damage over time. Regular soft washing prevents premature paint failure, rot, and siding deterioration — saving you thousands in repairs.
We use biodegradable, plant-safe cleaning solutions and follow a strict pre-wet / treat / rinse protocol to protect your landscaping, grass, and surrounding vegetation.
A freshly soft-washed home looks professionally maintained, increases property value, and makes the right impression on guests, buyers, and neighbors.
High-pressure washing on roofs and certain sidings voids manufacturer warranties. Soft washing is the manufacturer-recommended cleaning method for most exterior surfaces.
Every surface type requires a slightly different approach. Our team is trained on the right mix ratios and techniques for each.
| Surface | Common Problem | Our Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl siding | Black algae streaks, mildew, oxidation | 0.5–2% SH + surfactant, low pressure rinse |
| Painted wood siding | Mold, mildew, green algae | Lower-concentration mix, thorough rinse |
| Hardie board / fiber cement | Algae staining, dark streaks | Low-pressure soft wash, protect joints |
| Stucco / EIFS / Dryvit | Mold in texture, green staining | Very low pressure, careful chemical control |
| Brick | Algae, mildew, efflorescence | Adjusted mix, neutralizing rinse on porous brick |
| Concrete / block | Algae, staining, organic growth | Standard soft wash pre-treatment before rinse |
| Fences (wood / vinyl) | Green algae, weathering, mildew | Low-pressure application, grain-direction rinse |
A professional soft wash takes 2–4 hours for an average home. Here's exactly what we do:
We walk the property with you, identify any concerns, cover outdoor furniture and sensitive plants, and pre-wet all landscaping within reach of chemical overspray. Windows and doors are confirmed closed.
Before applying any cleaning solution, we thoroughly saturate all grass, shrubs, flower beds, and vegetation near the work area. Saturated plants absorb dramatically less chemical.
We apply a precisely mixed sodium hypochlorite + surfactant solution at low pressure, working top to bottom. The surfactant helps the mix cling to vertical surfaces and extend dwell time so the chemistry can work.
The solution dwells on the surface for 5–15 minutes, killing biological growth at the root. We keep surfaces wet during dwell — never letting the mix dry on the surface.
After dwell, we rinse thoroughly with clean water at low pressure — removing the cleaning solution and dead biological matter from the surface.
After the rinse cycle, we thoroughly water all vegetation again, remove all property protection, and walk the job with you to confirm the result. Your property is left clean — no mess, no residue.
