Soft Washing in Rollingwood
Soft washing is what you use when pressure would do harm. Render, painted siding, stucco and soft stone in Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood glass is up against
Older divided-light sashes on the original parts of the house, alongside modern sliding and picture glass on additions. The old sashes are slow work because every small pane is detailed by hand.
- Divided-light sashes
- Original mid-century windows have many small panes per sash. They cannot be squeegeed quickly and need hand detailing, pane by pane.
- Heavy tree cover
- Rollingwood's canopy is among the densest in the area, which means constant leaf litter, sap and a shaded damp that grows film on north elevations.
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 Rollingwood
Rollingwood is mostly mid-century houses on wooded lots, many of them extended rather than rebuilt. That means a mix of original timber sashes and newer glazed additions on the same house, which take different handling. The streets are narrow and the lots are tight, so we park once and carry in rather than moving the van around.
What it costs
Exterior work in Rollingwood 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 Rollingwood — 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.
