Composite Deck Cleaning in Southeastern PA
You chose a composite deck for its low maintenance and long-lasting finish—but lately, it’s not looking quite so new.

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.

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.

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!

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.

SoftWash has refreshed our exterior completely. We should have done this sooner! The staff were very pleasant to deal with. Kevin kept me informed along the process. Before the final treatment he walked around the house completely and noted what the final treatment should accomplish. At the end of the day, he walked around the house exterior to be sure I was satisfied with the end results. It looks awesome!

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.
