What is soft washing, and how is it different from pressure washing?

Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove moss, mold, algae, and grime from your roof. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure jets that can damage shingles, soft washing is gentle and designed specifically for delicate surfaces like asphalt shingles and tile roofs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is soft washing safe for my roof?

Yes, soft washing is completely safe when done by trained professionals. We use low-pressure equipment and biodegradable solutions that won't damage your shingles, underlayment, or landscaping. In fact, soft washing is recommended by most roofing manufacturers as the proper cleaning method.

How long does soft washing a roof take?

The average soft wash treatment takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of your roof and the extent of the buildup. We'll give you a more accurate time estimate once we’ve assessed the property.

Will soft washing kill all the moss and algae?

Yes, our soft wash solution is specially formulated to kill moss, mold, and algae at the root level. You may still see some moss or stains immediately after, but they’ll continue to break down and wash away naturally over the next few weeks or months depending on weather.

How often should I have my roof soft washed?

We recommend soft washing your roof every 2–3 years, or whenever you notice visible moss, dark streaks, or green patches. Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your roof and keeps your home looking sharp.

Will soft washing void my roof warranty?

No. In fact, soft washing is often the only approved cleaning method by major shingle manufacturers. Using high-pressure washing could actually void your warranty, so soft washing is the safe choice.

Hired Quick Squirt to do a spring cleanup at the outside area of our gym to get rid of moss and dust that had accumulated over the seasons. Jerod came to meet beforehand to introduce himself, understand what the goals of the job were, what the budget was, very comprehensive. The result was great, executed the plan exactly how we had thought it out. The back area at our gym looks sparkling clean and ready to get used this spring. Thank you!

Did a soft wash on the entire exterior of my house, removed the stains on my gutters with a gutter cleaning. Removed the built up mold on my concrete. Completely changed the tone of my entire house’s curb appeal. Extremely pleasant to deal with and very detailed. Thanks!
