Safely remove mold, mildew, algae, dirt, and cobwebs from siding so your home looks freshly finished again — using low-pressure soft washing built for delicate surfaces.
A house wash is a full exterior cleaning of your siding and trim. It's the single fastest way to make a home look cared for, and it usually costs a fraction of what people expect.
The goal isn't to strip your house — it's to lift the organic growth and grime that dulls the finish, and to do it without forcing water where it doesn't belong.
Central Iowa's humid summers and long winters give organic growth plenty of opportunity. North-facing walls and shaded areas are almost always the first to show it.
Soft washing uses low pressure combined with professional cleaning solutions. The solution does the cleaning, so the surface never needs to be hit hard.
That matters on siding, soffits, and painted wood, where high pressure can drive water behind panels, dent soft materials, or damage a finish. Hard surfaces like concrete are a different story — those are handled with pressure washing instead.
If it's part of the exterior envelope of your home and pressure would be a risk, soft washing is usually the right approach.
Rented equipment tends to have one setting: too much. The most common damage we see on homes comes from well-intentioned DIY pressure washing — cracked seals, water inside walls, and streaked siding.
