Pressure washing siding is a fast way to ruin it. The water gets behind J-channel, lifts vinyl seams, and forces moisture into wall cavities. What you actually want is soft washing — low-pressure application of a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills the organic growth at its source.

We soft wash vinyl, brick, stucco, Hardie board, and engineered wood siding throughout Fort Wayne. The result is a uniformly clean exterior that stays clean for 18–24+ months, not the 6–8 weeks you'd get from a high-pressure rinse.

What We Clean

Our house softwashing service in Fort Wayne and Allen County covers:

Vinyl Siding

The most common Fort Wayne siding type. Soft wash mix kills mildew streaks and algae completely.

Brick Exteriors

Brick can hold organic growth in mortar joints. We treat it gently to avoid mortar erosion.

Stucco

Stucco is porous and fragile. Soft wash is the only safe method — never pressure wash stucco.

Hardie & Fiber Cement

Manufacturer-approved cleaning method. Pressure washing can void Hardie warranties.

Engineered Wood (LP SmartSide)

Cleaned and brightened without lifting the factory finish.

Soffit & Fascia

The dirtiest parts of most homes. Soft wash gets the staining off without damaging painted aluminum.

Our Process

Every job follows the same step-by-step approach. No shortcuts.

  1. Walk the property and confirm what we're cleaning. We mark any pre-existing damage so there's no confusion later.
  2. Wet down landscaping and any sensitive plants near the house. Soft wash chemistry is plant-safe at our concentrations, but we always protect.
  3. Apply soft wash mix from the BPX-25 system. Wall coverage at low pressure — like rinsing the side of a car.
  4. Dwell time. We let the solution work for 5–10 minutes — this is the difference between killing algae and just rinsing it.
  5. Final rinse with clean water. Top to bottom, slow and methodical. Final landscaping rinse to make sure no overspray remains.

Properly soft-washed siding stays clean 18–24+ months. The mix kills algae at the root rather than just rinsing surface growth, so it doesn't grow back for a long time.
