Soft Washing in Four Points
Soft washing is what you use when pressure would do harm. Render, painted siding, stucco and soft stone in Four Points 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
- Rinsing of nearby surfaces
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 Four Points glass is up against
Large west-facing picture windows and two-storey great-room elevations, where low afternoon sun makes any imperfection obvious.
- Full west sun
- Low afternoon light across a wall of glass shows every streak. These elevations are finished by hand rather than left to dry alone.
- Ridge-top wind
- Exposed ridge positions take dust from all sides, so glass dirties evenly and faster than in sheltered valleys.
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 Four Points
Four Points sits on the ridge, which is why so many houses here were built with their largest windows pointing west over the hills. It is a wonderful view and a hard brief for glass: full afternoon sun shows every streak, and the ridge takes wind-blown dust from every direction. West elevations here get hand-detailed edges as standard.
What it costs
Exterior work in Four Points 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 Four Points — 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.
