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.

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.

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.

Softwash crew did an outstanding job at our house! Seriously good work, both in the front door area (floor tiles, ceiling, walls), as well as our upper and lower patios in the back of house. The patios were large areas and badly stained with dirt and algae. All areas are now gleaming! We highly recommend this company. Their wonderful work made a significant difference.

What a difference the stucco on my home is after having Softwash Platoon work their magic. It was a professional job from start to finish, and the employees were courteous and knowledgeable. The black streaks are gone on the stucco and my roof looks spotless. Dealing with Donna and Chris was easy and helpful. And the guys on-site were awesome. Well done, y’all.

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!
