Serving Richmond & Surrounding Areas
What Is Soft Washing and Why It Works
Low-pressure cleaning that protects surfaces
Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses specialized, biodegradable detergents to break down and lift organic growth, dirt, and atmospheric staining without blasting or etching surfaces. Unlike standard pressure washing, this approach protects shingles, siding, and coatings while removing algae, mildew, mold, and bacteria at the root to reduce rapid regrowth.
The result is a longer-lasting clean, better curb appeal, and prolonged material life. Bandito’s Pressure Washing calibrates solutions for each surface, applies controlled dwell time, shields landscaping, and performs a thorough freshwater rinse to leave roofs, walls, and hardscapes bright and residue-free—all while using significantly less water than high-pressure methods.
Tailored methods for each material
Ideal surfaces include asphalt shingle and tile roofs, vinyl and fiber-cement siding, painted and stained wood, stucco and EIFS, brick and stone, composite decking and fences, gutters and soffits, screens, awnings, and outdoor furniture. Soft washing lifts biofilm, oxidation streaks, and insect droppings that traditional washing can smear.
Our technicians tune solution strength, temperature, and contact time to the material and contaminant, using gentle nozzles and wide fan patterns to avoid forcing water behind siding or under shingles. We pre-wet and post-rinse plants, protect electrical components, and spot-treat rust, tannin, and artillery fungus for a uniform finish.
From inspection to post-service care
Inspection and prep: We assess materials, finishes, oxidized areas, and delicate features; document trouble spots; and set expectations. We cover sensitive hardware and outlets, move light items, and establish safe access. A metered soft wash system blends detergents on-site for consistent, repeatable results.
Application and rinse: Solutions are applied from the ground or secure footing with low pressure to ensure even coverage. After proper dwell time, we perform a controlled, thorough rinse, gently brushing persistent stains when needed. Landscaping is buffered and rinsed, and runoff is managed to minimize impact.
Final steps and care: We conduct a quality walk-through, neutralize residual cleaner if appropriate, and tidy the work area. Expect immediate brightening, with certain organic stains continuing to lighten over 24–48 hours. We provide aftercare tips, recommended maintenance intervals, and warranty details for added peace of mind.
