What to include

Good house washing requests include the siding type, number of stories, areas of concern, and whether gutters, porches, or patios should be included.

  • Vinyl siding, brick accents, trim, gutters, and soffits
  • Black streaks, green algae, pollen, and shaded wall buildup
  • Move-in, listing, spring cleanup, or event deadlines

Why soft washing language matters

House washing is not the same as blasting concrete. The request should make clear that siding and exterior surfaces may need a gentler cleaning method.
