Soft Washing: The Gentle Alternative for Burlingame Exteriors

While traditional pressure washing is excellent for concrete, it is often too aggressive for modern siding and delicate architectural features. That is where Soft Washing becomes the preferred choice for Burlingame residents. This specialized technique uses low-pressure water combined with advanced cleaning solutions to sanitize and brighten your home’s exterior without the risk of high-pressure damage.

The Science Behind Soft Washing
Soft Washing is particularly effective against "biofilms"—the invisible layers of bacteria, mold, and mildew that thrive in Burlingame’s coastal humidity. Unlike pressure washing, which only removes the top layer of growth, the specialized solutions used in Soft Washing kill the organic matter at the root. This means your home stays cleaner for significantly longer.

In Burlingame, many homes feature delicate materials like stucco, cedar shake, and vinyl siding. High pressure can force water behind these surfaces, leading to mold growth inside the walls or "tiger striping" on the gutters. Soft Washing eliminates these risks, providing a deep, chemical clean that leaves your siding looking brand new without compromising the building's envelope.

Protecting Burlingame’s Unique Architecture
From Tudor-style homes to mid-century modern designs, Burlingame’s architecture is diverse. Soft Washing allows us to clean intricate trim, decorative corbels, and delicate masonry with precision. Because the process is gentle, it is the safest method for cleaning "soft" surfaces that are prone to scratching or denting.

By choosing Soft Washing, you are opting for a "treatment" rather than just a "wash." It is the gold standard for exterior maintenance on the Peninsula, ensuring that your home remains the envy of the neighborhood while protecting the delicate materials that give it character.
