Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there black streaks on my roof?
Dark streaks are usually algae called Gloeocapsa magma. It thrives in humid areas and feeds on your shingles. Soft washing removes it safely and completely.
Why does my stucco or siding look green?
Green buildup is often mildew or algae, especially on shaded or damp areas of your home. These organisms are safely killed and removed with soft washing.
What causes my driveway and walkway to look blotchy or slippery?
Algae, mold, and built-up grime can create slippery, discolored surfaces. Our softwash system breaks them down without harming concrete or pavers.
Why is soft washing better than pressure washing for delicate surfaces?
High-pressure systems can damage materials like stucco, wood, and roof shingles. Soft washing uses low pressure and targeted solutions to clean without risk.

We had a fantastic experience with SoftWash Platoon. We hired them to do a gutter and below house cleaning and from the time we agreed, they were at our house and completing the work that same week. Our crew, led by Jose, was extremely professional and took great care of our property. The results were phenomenal, and I still can't get over how clean our sidewalk got. We'd highly recommend SoftWash Platoon for your exterior house cleaning needs.

Our white Awnings are now WHITE again thanks to the miracle of Platoon Soft Wash. The workers were courteous & eager to please. They did a wonderful job making our home sparkle for summer. I will use them again, although having had this biodegradable solution 3 years ago( another company) we know it DOES last.
Anne Symes
We had Softwash Platoon clean the entire exterior of our 1870’s white wood siding house that definitely needed cleaning. From the first meeting and estimate with Chris, to the scheduling with Donna and the cleaning by José and Herbert, we could not be more impressed. Communication was excellent and the work on the house was thorough and done with real care. Prior to starting, José explained the process and what we could expect. It was a scorching hot day and the guys worked hard and cleaned every surface thoroughly. After completing their work, they walked us around to show us what had been done. The outcome is a sparkling clean house and roof that has never looked better. We would definitely recommend this service. Thank you to the whole team. You exceeded our expectations. Anne

We had SoftWash Platoon completely wash our roof, house and back patio where pool is. They provided outstanding service! The house looked amazing when finished and I don't think our windows, siding and roof have EVER been this clean! I will definitely hire them again. Donna in the office, Chris and the workers were exceptional at their jobs and very good with communication. Great Job!

SoftWash did a fantastic job getting our store awnings and façades clean and ready for the busy Spring and Summer months. They were incredibly easy to work with and get everything scheduled, communication was excellent, and the work speaks for itself.
