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.

I am very pleased with the work, power washing the outside of the house including the wood fence. The crew paid great attention to detail, taking extra time for the gutters that didn't come clean with only spraying. So they got a good scrubbing too. Thanks, crew, also for cleaning everything up when you were done.

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.

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

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.

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!
