Exterior House Cleaning

Render, weatherboard, painted brick. Low-pressure soft washing that lifts grime without damaging surfaces.

Overview

Soft Wash House Cleaning

Soft washing uses low-pressure (under 500 PSI) and biodegradable cleaning agents to lift grime, mould, mildew, algae and bacteria from house exteriors. Safer than high-pressure cleaning on render, weatherboard and painted surfaces, and far more thorough than just spraying with water.

It's the right tool for the job on anything pressure-sensitive: rendered facades, weatherboard, painted brick, Hebel panels, soffits and eaves, even carport roofs and pergolas. The cleaning agents kill the mould and algae so it doesn't come back next month.

We service Melton, Bacchus Marsh, Ballan, Sunbury, Darley, Gisborne and Maddingley. Free no-obligation quotes by phone with a few photos.

How it works

Our process.

01

Quote by photo

Send us a few photos of the property and tell us what's bothering you. In most cases we'll quote over the phone.

02

Setup & protection

Tarps and sheeting protect plants, garden beds, paths and outdoor furniture. Cleaning agents are biodegradable but we still keep them where they need to be.

03

Apply & dwell

Low-pressure application of the cleaning agent. Short dwell time lets it kill mould, algae and bacteria at the surface and below.

04

Rinse & inspect

Gentle rinse, walk-around inspection with you to confirm every surface is clean before we pack up.

Michael restored our roof last year. When water started dripping through a bedroom ceiling after heavy rain, we called him back to inspect and he was straight onto it.

Called Allwest about storm damage when our insurance excess was too high. They were extremely helpful, kept me posted on timing, and the quote came in several hundred dollars less than expected.

Mick did a great job cleaning the exterior of our house and the solar panels on the roof. The outside is sparkling and looks brand new. All the dust and cobwebs are gone.

Mick took the time to explain every step of the restoration. The finished roof looks better than I expected and his pricing was fair.

Quick response when we had a tile come loose. Mick came out, sorted it on the spot, and didn't try to upsell us on a full restoration we didn't need.

What a fantastic job. The roof looks so clean, all lichen removed and old paint and debris gone. The new paint is perfect, with new ridge caps and lovely new pointing.

FAQ

Common
questions.

Can't find your answer? Call us on 0449 602 502 and we'll talk you through it.

What is soft washing exactly?

Application of biodegradable cleaning agents through a low-pressure system, designed for surfaces that high-pressure would damage. Render, weatherboard, painted brick, hard-to-reach areas.

What chemicals do you use?

A combination of sodium hypochlorite and surfactants in different strengths depending on the surface. All within Australian standards. The agents biodegrade and don't damage healthy plants when correctly applied.

How high can you reach?

Up to two storeys with our water-fed pole system, no scaffolding or ladders needed inside the property.

How often should I have my house cleaned?

Every six to twelve months depending on exposure. Coastal, treed or industrial-adjacent properties need more frequent attention. South-facing walls (less sun) hold mould longer than north-facing.

When's the best time of year?

November through March is ideal. Late summer / early autumn lets us hit any built-up mould and algae before the cooler wet months kick in.

How long does it take?

Typically 30 minutes to two hours for a standard home. Larger or detailed jobs can take longer. We'll give you a clear time estimate with the quote.

Will it kill my plants?

Not when applied correctly. We protect garden beds with tarps and rinse adjacent foliage. Clients with sensitive plantings tell us beforehand and we plan around them.

Insurance & builders

We also work with insurance companies and builders.

Storm damage repairs, insurance work, and ongoing builder relationships across Melbourne's western corridor. Trade-qualified, fully insured, twenty years on tiled roofs.
