Soft Washing in Barton Creek
Soft washing is what you use when pressure would do harm. Render, painted siding, stucco and soft stone in Barton Creek all fall into that category.
What soft washing is
Low pressure and a cleaning solution that does the work chemically rather than by force. The solution is applied, left to dwell, then rinsed. Nothing is blasted, so nothing is eroded or driven behind the cladding.

What's included
- Driveways, sidewalks and steps
- Patios, courtyards and pool decks
- Exterior walls and entryways
- Even, stripe-free cleaning of flat concrete

When it is the right choice
Painted or rendered walls, stucco, soft limestone, older mortar and anything with a coating you do not want stripped. If a surface would be marked by pressure, this is the method.
What Barton Creek glass is up against
Large custom elevations facing the course or the canyon, often two storeys above a terraced garden, and frequently with coated or tinted glass that needs identifying before anything is scraped.
- Course irrigation
- Fairway-side glass takes hard water overspray through the watering season, which dries into a mineral film that needs restoring rather than washing.
- Oak sap and pollen
- Mature live oaks drop sap as well as pollen. Sap bonds to glass and has to be scraped off carefully, particularly on coated panes.
What it is good at
Organic growth. Algae, mildew and the green film on a shaded wall come off cleanly and stay off longer than with pressure, because the treatment kills the growth rather than knocking the top off it.
Working in Barton Creek
Barton Creek houses tend to be large, custom and set back behind mature oaks, with the best glass facing either the fairway or the greenbelt drop. Two things make that glass hard work: course irrigation that reaches the pane, and a tree canopy that drops sap as well as pollen. Sap has to be scraped rather than washed, which is the part a quick visit usually skips.
What it costs
Exterior work in Barton Creek is priced by surface area and access rather than by the hour. Combining walls, paving and glass in one visit costs less than booking them separately, because the setup is only paid for once.

Soft Washing in Barton Creek — common questions
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses force, soft washing uses a cleaning solution at low pressure. Soft washing is for surfaces that force would damage.
Which does my house need?
Painted, rendered or stucco walls need soft washing. Concrete drives and stone paving take pressure.
Is the solution safe around plants?
We wet down and rinse planting around the work area. Tell us about anything delicate and we will cover it.
Does it last longer than pressure washing?
For algae and mildew, yes, because the growth is treated rather than just removed.
Can you soft wash a roof?
We do not work on roofs. Ask us and we will tell you plainly rather than take the job.
