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.

Softwash Platoon did an amazing job working hard to make our 31 year old stucco house look new again. The guys working here went above and beyond to make sure everything looked so good and clean. They were friendly, hardworking, professional and respectful. We are so pleased and happy that we decided to do this and that we picked this company. Everyone from the salesperson, to the person in the office, to the guys who did the job went out of their way to make sure we were satisfied with the job done. We highly recommend this company.

After our insurance company did a surprise exterior inspection they requested we have our roof cleaned of the moss/mildew. We hired SoftWash Platoon and they did a fantastic job!! Our roof looks new (our neighbor said they would eat their dinner off it because it looked so clean)! The team, especially Jose, was very polite and went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right. Donna, who scheduled our appointment, was also wonderful to work with, ensuring that the job was completed prior to the deadline set by our insurance company. Though the pricing was a little more than what we wanted to spend, the work came with a 5 year warranty, so if the moss comes back we will certainly take them up on that and have our roof cleaned again. Excited to maximize our roof life and highly recommend this team and their services.

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.

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

Softwash Platoon is amazing! I am a repeat customer & would definitely recommend. I've used their outdoor cleaning services for my siding, gutters, walkways, patios, etc. & I'm never disappointed. The crew is extremely friendly & does a fantastic job, & it's always a pleasure talking to Donna in the office & Chris who comes onsite for the consultations/estimates. Great company all around, I highly suggest!
