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.

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!

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.

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.

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 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.
