Soft Washing in Horseshoe Bay
Soft washing is what you use when pressure would do harm. Render, painted siding, stucco and soft stone in Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay glass is up against
Fairway-facing windows take irrigation overspray week after week, which is the single biggest cause of cloudy glass in Horseshoe Bay. Lakefront elevations get wind-driven spray instead.
- Golf course overspray
- Course irrigation runs on hard water and lands on the nearest glass. Left alone it builds into a film that needs restoring, not washing.
- Lake LBJ wind and spray
- Open water means wind-driven mist on the lake elevation, which dries into a haze within a day.
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 Horseshoe Bay
Houses here sit either on Lake LBJ or on a fairway, and both come with their own problem. On the course side, irrigation overspray lands on the glass several times a week and dries into a mineral haze. On the water side it is wind and spray. We treat hard water stains as a separate step before the clean, because washing over them simply moves them around.
What it costs
Exterior work in Horseshoe Bay 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 Horseshoe Bay — 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.

We do not work on roofs. Ask us and we will tell you plainly rather than take the job.
