How to Soft Wash a House: A Step-by-Step Guide

Keeping your home’s exterior clean not only enhances its curb appeal but also extends its lifespan by removing harmful dirt, mold, and algae. Soft washing is an effective and gentle cleaning method that ensures your house stays pristine without causing damage to surfaces like siding, stucco, or roof shingles. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to soft wash a house and highlight the benefits of using a professional-grade tool like the Multi Wash Pro.

What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and algae. Unlike pressure washing, which relies on high-powered jets of water, soft washing is safer for delicate surfaces and provides a deeper clean by addressing the root causes of stains.

Materials You’ll Need

• A soft wash system or garden sprayer

• Cleaning solution (biodegradable and eco-friendly preferred)

• A garden hose

• Protective gear (gloves, goggles, and a mask)

• Soft bristle brushes for stubborn spots

• Multi Wash Pro (optional but highly recommended for superior results)

Steps to Soft Wash Your House

Step 1: Preparation

1. Inspect your home’s exterior for any damage or cracks. Seal these areas to prevent water intrusion.

2. Remove or cover outdoor furniture, plants, and electrical outlets to protect them from the cleaning solution.

3. Wear protective gear to shield yourself from chemicals.

Step 2: Mix the Cleaning Solution

1. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to dilute the cleaning solution properly.

2. If using the Multi Wash Pro, prepare the solution directly in the machine’s tank for an easy and consistent application.

Step 3: Apply the Solution

1. Using a soft wash system or sprayer, apply the cleaning solution evenly to the surface, starting from the bottom and working your way up. This prevents streaking.

2. Allow the solution to sit for 10-15 minutes to break down dirt and grime. Avoid letting it dry completely.

Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly

1. Rinse the area with a garden hose or low-pressure setting on your soft wash system, working from top to bottom.

2. Ensure all traces of the cleaning solution are removed to prevent residue buildup.

Step 5: Spot Cleaning

For stubborn stains, gently scrub with a soft bristle brush. The Multi Wash Pro’s adjustable settings can help target tough areas without additional effort.
