BLOG Soft Washing Aug 14, 2024

In Southwest Florida, organic growth is constantly growing. The humidity keeps outside surfaces moist and a prefect environment for growing plants and trees and landscape items. But this same environment is also good for another type of growth and that is outside microbes. Also, algae and mildew, fungus and mold. For longer untreated surfaces, there may be moss and lichens. Sometimes this breeds bacteria and viruses. Soft washing sanitizes these surfaces over 99% ! 

Soft washing is a TREATMENT rather than a ‘CLEANING’.  We TREAT the underlying source of the problem to get the surface free from the contaminant source, thus cleaning it. 

Here is a good before and after of gutters and soffits that had visible organic growth. The green on the gutter indicates more of an algae type substance. This organic growth over time removes the finish on the paint and diminished paint is dull and less attractive. Left untreated for as little as one year the organic growth can damage permanently the home or building exterior paint. 

In this case our Good Stewards chemical application and some good old fashioned brushing and burnishing were able to remove the organic growth and brighten the gutters and soffits, thus savings this homeowner from re painting these areas.
