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 a wonderful job cleaning our house. The crew was on time, efficient, very polite and very neat. The house looks clean and bright.

Our experience with Softwash Platoon was really impressive! We were dealing with some tough black mold on our stucco, roof, eaves, soffits, and trim, and we weren't sure what to do. Thankfully, Softwash Platoon came to the rescue and assured us they could handle it. Chris, the owner, even took the time to explain everything to us, which was super helpful. On top of that, they also cleaned our slate and driveway, and it made a world of difference. Overall, we're really happy with their service and would definitely recommend them if you need soft washing or power washing done. 5 Stars!

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!

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!

We've worked with SoftWash for many years and they provide great service and high-quality cleaning. The team works incredibly hard, and we are always impressed with their thoroughness and the results. In fact, it drives us crazy when we see all of our neighbors' rooves and siding with the green and black discoloring that makes their homes look run-down... if only they knew how easy it was to get it cleaned! We're getting ready to list our home, and the courteous and professional SoftWash team spent six hours on our property yesterday cleaning the roof, stucco siding, windows, pathways, deck and detached shed. We're ready to go!
