The safe, high-performance alternative to pressure washing. Eliminate algae, mold, and organic grime without damaging your property.
When it comes to cleaning your home’s siding, roofline, and delicate exterior features, blasting them with high-pressure water is a recipe for disaster. Heavy pressure can crack vinyl siding, strip paint, blast away window seals, and trap water behind your walls, leading to hidden mold growth.
At xFORMA, we specialize in 100% safe, low-pressure soft washing. We combine eco-friendly, specialized detergents with a water stream no stronger than a standard garden hose to completely sanitize your property’s exterior, killing the root cause of organic stains instead of just blasting at the surface.
What We Soft Wash & Why
Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing treats the exterior of your property like a premium asset, removing ugly organic growth down to the root without structural risk.
Vinyl, Wood, & Aluminum Siding
Soft washing gently melts away green algae, dust, and spiderwebs, restoring a crisp, like-new appearance to your siding without the risk of denting, chipping, or water intrusion.
Stucco, Dryvit, & EIFS
These highly delicate architectural surfaces easily trap dirt and mold. Our low-pressure detergents lift stains safely from the pores without eroding the textured material.
Brick & Stone Masonry
High pressure can destroy aging mortar joints. Soft washing sanitizes the stone and deeply cleans the brickwork while preserving the structural integrity of your masonry.
Gutters & Fascia Boards
We chemically neutralize black “tiger stripes” (electrostatic bonding) on the exterior of your gutters, brightening your trim without stripping the factory paint.
Soffits & Window Casings
Safe sanitation of the hidden overhangs and window surrounds where wasps, spiders, and thick dust love to accumulate.
Fences & Decks
Gently cleans away graying surface oxidation and green mold from delicate wood and composite structures before re-staining or sealing.
The xFORMA Safety Difference
Soft Wash Technology
We use specialized delivery pumps that apply premium, eco-friendly detergents at low pressure ($< 300 \text{ PSI}$), relying on chemistry rather than raw force to clean your home.
Eco-Friendly, Non-Toxic Cleansers
Our proprietary formulas are specifically designed to safely break down organic growth, mold, mildew, and lichen while being completely safe for your property.
Landscape Protection
We take extreme care of your surrounding ecosystem. We thoroughly pre-wet, rinse, and protect your grass, flowerbeds, and shrubs during the entire washing process to ensure your landscaping remains pristine.
What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses intense, mechanical force (often up to 3,500 PSI) to physically blast dirt off hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses a specialized low-pressure pump to gently apply a sanitizing detergent mixture to delicate surfaces like siding and trim. It cleans using chemistry rather than brute force, killing the living mold and algae so the clean lasts up to 4–6 times longer than traditional pressure washing.
Will your soft wash detergents harm my plants or landscaping?
Not at all. We take property protection very safely. Our technicians are meticulously trained to use a strict plant-protection protocol. We completely saturate all nearby grass, shrubs, and gardens with fresh water before, during, and after the application. This ensures your landscaping is thoroughly diluted and protected, leaving your plants as healthy as they were when we arrived.
How long does a standard house soft wash look clean compared to pressure washing?
Because pressure washing only blasts away the top layer of mold, it leaves the living spores embedded in the material, meaning the green film usually crawls back within 6 months. Because xFORMA’s soft wash system chemically neutralizes and kills the living spores down to the root, your home will typically stay sparkling clean and free of growth for 1 to 2 full years, depending on your shade coverage.
My house just has some dust and cobwebs. Do I really need the chemical wash?
Yes, because what looks like simple gray dust or dirt is usually a thriving ecosystem of microscopic algae, mildew, and spider webs. If you just rinse it with water, you leave a sticky organic residue that acts like a magnet for fresh dirt. Our soft wash sanitizes the surface, breaking down the sticky binders so your home repels dust and stays clean significantly longer.
Do I need to close my windows or cover my outdoor furniture?
We ask that you ensure all windows and doors are completely shut and locked before our arrival. While our low-pressure system won’t damage window seals, keeping them locked prevents any accidental water seeping. If you have lightweight cushions or delicate outdoor decorations near the house, moving them to the center of the yard or inside the garage is highly appreciated.
