At PowerWash-NYC, we offer fast, affordable, and eco-friendly soft washing services designed specifically for NYC homes. Whether you live in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, or Staten Island, we'll make your home shine like new—safely and professionally.
What Is House Washing?
House washing is the process of cleaning your home's exterior—siding, stucco, brick, or wood—using specialized techniques to remove:
- Dirt and dust
- Algae and mildew
- Mold and bacteria
- Pollution and grime buildup
Unlike traditional pressure washing, which can damage siding and paint, soft washing uses low-pressure water and biodegradable detergents to safely clean all surfaces without stripping or cracking them.
Why NYC Homes Need Regular Washing
Living in NYC means your home is exposed to:
- Air pollution from traffic and industry
- Humidity that encourages mold and algae growth
- Pollen and soot that stick to siding and windows
- Graffiti or street grime in high-traffic areas
If left untreated, this buildup causes paint to fade, surfaces to degrade, and mold to spread. Annual or bi-annual house washing prevents expensive repairs down the line.
Our Proven House Washing Process
At PowerWash-NYC, we follow a professional multi-step process:
- Inspection – We assess your home's material and condition
- Pre-soak – We apply eco-safe cleaners to loosen grime
- Soft Wash – We gently rinse with low-pressure water
- Detail Rinse – We target tough spots by hand
- Final Walkthrough – You approve the results before we leave
Our process is safe for vinyl siding, painted wood, brick, stucco, and composite materials. And yes, we're fully insured.
