No matter where you are in southeastern Pennsylvania, it is important to remove the algae and other sources of stains on your roof and exterior walls to prevent permanent damage and unsightly appearance. If left unchecked, these organic materials break down building and roofing materials, causing leaks and irreparable damage.

Soft washing is an effective technique for cleaning a home's exterior. At the same time, we want your lawn, plants, and shrubs to be protected. Our team of trained professionals is aware of the fine line between spraying sufficient chemical solution on the perpetrators and overdoing it. Too much spray creates a runoff that can harm your plants.

How To Safeguard Your Plants During Soft Washing

Several cautionary steps should be taken before and after the soft washing process. These include:

• Thoroughly spray and saturate nearby plants, shrubs, and trees with water from the hose.
• Soak the soil and grassy areas at least 10 feet from the walls so that the leaves, stalks, and roots are completely hydrated.
• Where possible, drape the plants, shrubs, and trees with tarps, being careful to not let them get overheated on a hot day.
• Securely tie plastic bags over the ends of downspouts.
• Once the soft washing is complete, hose your greenery again to rinse away any leftover chemical residue.
