Why High Pressure Destroys Southwest Florida Siding
Most exterior surfaces on homes in Lee and Collier Counties are built with stucco, painted Hardie board, or vinyl. Blasting these surfaces with high-pressure water (3,000+ PSI) is one of the most common causes of preventable exterior property damage.

| Risk of Traditional High Pressure | The Under Pressure Soft Wash Solution |
|---|---|
| Cracks Stucco & Chips Paint: Blasts through topcoats and forces water behind walls. | Zero Surface Damage: Uses water pressure comparable to a garden hose (under 100 PSI). |
| Breaks Window Seals: Blown seals cause internal fogging and moisture intrusion. | Safe for Windows & Fixtures: Gentle rinsing keeps weatherstripping and seals intact. |
| Drives Algae Deeper: Water alone leaves living mold spores inside porous surfaces. | Kills Growth at the Root: Biodegradable cleansers sanitize and eliminate spores completely. |
| Regrowth in 2–3 Months: Leftover spores multiply rapidly under the Florida sun. | Long-Lasting Clean: Keeps surfaces cleaner up to 3x longer than pressure blasting. |

Our 4-Step Landscape-Safe Soft Wash Process
We take exterior cleaning seriously, especially when it comes to safeguarding your property, pets, and landscaping.
We take exterior cleaning seriously, especially when it comes to safeguarding your property, pets, and landscaping.
- Pre-Wash Landscape Protection: Before applying any cleanser, we thoroughly soak your surrounding lawn, shrubs, and ornamental plants with fresh water. Saturated roots cannot absorb cleaning runoff.
- Specialized Solution Application: We apply our proprietary, 100% biodegradable wash mix at ultra-low pressure. The foam breaks the surface tension of dirt and neutralizes mold, algae, and lichen on contact.
- Active Dwell Time: We allow the solution to sit for several minutes. The active ingredients break down organic staining at the biological level, ensuring an even, streak-free result.
- Low-Pressure Rinse & Final Plant Flush: We rinse all surfaces thoroughly with clean, low-pressure water. We then perform a comprehensive post-rinse of all surrounding vegetation and outdoor fixtures to leave your property completely refreshed.
Frequently Asked Questions: House Washing
How often should a house be soft-washed in Lee or Collier County?
Most homes in Cape Coral, Fort Myers, and Naples need an exterior soft wash every 12 to 18 months. Homes located near freshwater canals, dense preserves, or heavy tree canopies may require annual service to prevent algae buildup and stay compliant with strict HOA guidelines.
Will house washing peel or discolor my exterior paint?
No. Soft washing relies on chemical action rather than kinetic water force. Because our pressure levels remain under 100 PSI, the process will not chip sound paint, strip caulking, or fade exterior colors.
Are your cleaning chemicals safe for pets and delicate tropical plants?
Yes. We strictly use eco-friendly, biodegradable solutions. In addition, our team continuously waters and flushes all vegetation before, during, and after application, ensuring complete safety for palms, turf, hibiscus, and household pets.
Do I need to be home during the service?
No. As long as outside water spigots are operational, exterior gates are unlocked, windows and doors are tightly closed, and pets remain indoors, our crew can complete the entire wash and leave your property sparkling clean.
