Soft Washing is the Best Solution to Cleaning Stucco Surfaces
Stucco is a delicate, porous material that requires a gentle but effective cleaning method to remove dirt, mold, algae, and mildew without causing damage. Soft washing is the best solution, using low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to break down contaminants without harming the surface.
Why Soft Wash Stucco Instead of Pressure Washing?
- Avoids Damage: High-pressure washing can crack or erode stucco.
- Kills Mold & Algae at the Root: Prevents regrowth and extends the time between cleanings.
- Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions: Safe for landscaping and pets.
- Restores Stucco’s Original Look: Removes stains, streaks, and discoloration.
- Longer-Lasting Results: Soft wash treatments keep stucco clean for up to 2 years.
Stucco Soft Washing Process
- Pre-Inspection – Check for cracks, stains, and mold buildup.
- Surface Preparation – Cover nearby plants, windows, and sensitive areas.
- Apply Cleaning Solution – Biodegradable detergents break down dirt and organic growth.
- Dwell Time – Let the solution sit to penetrate deep into the stucco.
- Gentle Rinse with Low Pressure – Wash away grime without harming the surface.
- Final Inspection & Touch-Ups – Ensure a spotless finish and customer satisfaction.
How Often Should Stucco Be Soft Washed?
- Every 12-24 months (standard homes & buildings)
- Every 6-12 months (humid areas with frequent mold growth)
- Every 6-12 months (commercial properties with high traffic or pollution exposure)
