Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my composite deck slippery or discolored?
Algae, mold, and mildew often build up on shaded or damp areas. These can make the deck slick and cause discoloration if not properly cleaned.
Can power washing damage composite decking?
Yes. High-pressure washing can cause surface etching or remove protective coatings. Soft washing gently lifts contaminants without abrasion.
What’s the best way to clean Trex or other composite brands?
Our proprietary soft washing solution is safe for all major composite brands like Trex, TimberTech, and Fiberon, and delivers deeper, longer-lasting clean.
How often should a composite deck be cleaned?
We recommend professional cleaning every 1–2 years, depending on exposure to shade, moisture, and foot traffic.

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!

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.

I was very happy with the service from Softwash Platoon. Chris took a nice amount of time to create a thorough estimate. The crew, led by Andrew, was very detail oriented, friendly, and kept me updated on their progress. My house, walkways, and patio all looked great! I will hire them again in the future!

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.

Professionalism
Had a great experience with this company on a softwash of our roof and nearly 100 year old stone and stucco house. Owner and technicians were all extremely courteous and knowledgeable. They went out of their way to ensure our plants didn’t get damaged, relocated some hanging baskets that I missed, and set everything back up again afterwards. House looks great. Our brick patio and concrete walkways look better than ever - we had them power washed in the past and this worked better.
