Professional house washing using the safe soft-wash method — safely removes mold, mildew, and dirt from stucco, siding, painted walls, and shingles. Serving West Palm Beach, Wellington, Jupiter, and all of Palm Beach County -- without the damage that high-pressure washing causes.
Look at any home in Palm Beach County that hasn't been washed in over a year. You'll see green and black streaks on the stucco, mildew around windows and under eaves, and a general dinginess that makes the house look years older than it is. That's not just dirt -- it's living organic growth that's slowly breaking down your home's exterior surfaces.
South Florida's climate is uniquely harsh on home exteriors. The combination of 80%+ humidity, daily summer rain, and warm temperatures creates ideal conditions for mold, mildew, algae, and lichen to colonize every exterior surface. Stucco -- the dominant exterior finish in Palm Beach County -- is particularly vulnerable because its textured surface traps moisture and provides an ideal substrate for biological growth.
Professional soft washing doesn't just clean the surface -- it kills the organisms causing the discoloration. Our cleaning solution penetrates the pores of stucco and other surfaces, eliminating mold and algae at the root so your home stays cleaner, longer. Most homeowners see 12 to 18 months of protection after a single treatment.
We follow a methodical process on every house wash to ensure thorough cleaning without any risk of damage:
Step 1 -- PROTECT: We pre-wet all landscaping, cover sensitive plants, and close all windows and doors.
Step 2 -- APPLY: We spray our SH-based cleaning solution onto all exterior surfaces from bottom to top, ensuring full coverage. The solution is applied at low pressure -- under 500 PSI.
Step 3 -- DWELL: The solution sits for 10 to 15 minutes, killing all mold, mildew, and algae on contact. You can see the discoloration dissolving in real time.
Step 4 -- RINSE: We rinse the entire home from top to bottom with low-pressure water, washing away all residue. We also re-rinse all landscaping to dilute any runoff.
A simple rule: if the surface is hard enough to walk on (concrete, pavers, stone), it can handle pressure washing. If it's a wall, roof, screen, or painted surface, it needs soft washing. Never let anyone pressure wash your stucco, siding, or screens -- the damage can be expensive to repair.
Pressure Wash of Palm Beach offers both services and will always recommend the right method for each surface on your property. Many jobs combine both -- for example, we'll pressure wash your driveway and sidewalks, then soft wash the house exterior, all in the same visit.

Yes, soft washing is the safest and most effective method for cleaning stucco homes. High-pressure washing can damage stucco by forcing water behind the surface, causing cracks and moisture problems. Soft washing uses low pressure (under 500 PSI) with cleaning solutions that dissolve mold and algae without any physical force on the surface.
In South Florida's humid climate, we recommend washing your home's exterior every 12 to 18 months. Homes with heavy shade, north-facing walls, or proximity to canals and lakes may need cleaning more frequently. Regular washing prevents permanent staining and protects your paint.
No. Soft washing uses low pressure that is safe for all painted surfaces, and our cleaning solutions are biodegradable. We pre-wet all landscaping before treatment and rinse it thoroughly afterward. If your paint is already peeling or in poor condition, we'll point that out before starting so there are no surprises.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (2,000-4,000 PSI) and is designed for hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low-pressure water (under 500 PSI) with cleaning solutions and is designed for delicate surfaces like stucco, siding, screens, and painted exteriors. Using high pressure on a house can damage stucco, force water behind siding, strip paint, and bend screen frames. Pressure Wash of Palm Beach always uses soft washing on home exteriors.
