A pressure washer removes what you can see. A soft wash treats what's causing it. Low-pressure application of a cleaning solution dwells on the surface, breaks down mould, algae and lichen, and is then rinsed away gently, which is why a soft-washed home stays cleaner for longer than one that's simply been blasted.
It's also the safe way to clean render, painted walls, weatherboard and cladding, where high pressure can strip paint, force water behind panels or etch soft masonry. We choose the method by the surface, and most houses end up getting a mix of both.

How it works
Assess
We look at the surface, the type of growth and the access, then recommend soft wash, pressure, or both.
Protect
Plants are wetted down and sensitive items are covered or moved before any solution goes on.
Treat
The cleaning solution is applied at low pressure and left to work on the growth.
Rinse and check
A thorough rinse, then a walk-around with you so you can see the result.
What affects your quote
We quote each job on its own details rather than a one-size price, so you pay for what your property actually needs. These are the main things that move the price.
- Size and number of storeys of the home
- Wall material (brick, render, weatherboard, cladding)
- How established the mould or algae is
- Add-ons such as fences, driveway, roof or windows
Good to know
We won't pressure wash fragile cladding or old render that could be damaged. We'll tell you before we start if a surface needs a gentler method.
Common questions
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water alone to blast dirt off hard surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution that kills mould, algae and lichen at the root. Walls and roofs usually need soft washing; driveways and paths usually need pressure.
Will it damage my paint or render?
Not when it's done properly. That's the point of soft washing. We choose the pressure and the solution for your surface, and we'll say so if a wall is too fragile for anything but a very light rinse.
How often should a house be washed?
In humid, shaded or tree-covered spots, every one to two years keeps growth under control. Sunny, open homes can often stretch to every two to three years.
Do I need to be home?
Usually not, as long as we can reach the outside of the house and there's access to an outdoor tap. We'll confirm the details when we book.
How much does house washing cost in Brisbane?
It depends on the size and height of the house, the wall material, how established the mould or algae is, and what else you want done, such as fences or the driveway. We quote each house on its own details and send an itemised quote, so you can see what you are paying for.
Can you wash brick, render and weatherboard houses?
Yes. We choose the method for the surface: soft washing for painted walls, render and weatherboard, and a firmer rinse where brick and concrete can take it. If a wall is too fragile for anything but a very gentle clean, we say so before we start.
Should I wash my house before painting or selling?
Washing first is usually worth it. Paint holds better on a clean surface, and a clean exterior photographs and presents better at an open home. We can pair a house wash with gutters, windows and the driveway in one visit.
