Soft Washing in Cincinnati, OH

Soft wash exterior cleaning in Cincinnati puts eco-friendly products on a surface at low pressure, an alternative to power washing for the house itself: siding, trim, decks, fences, awnings, pergolas, outdoor furniture and kids’ playsets. The same approach reaches roofs and gutters, and it’s how we do house washing in Cincinnati. Estimates are free and done at the property, and commercial soft washing is available too.

What OSU Extension says about mulch fungus spores

Ohio State University Extension’s Buckeye Yard & Garden onLine newsletter said in 2013 that, among the fungi that grow in mulch, bird’s nest and artillery fungus can be more problematic. Their fruiting bodies, it explained, shoot off spores that can float long distances and then “land and stick to homes and cars.” The same item calls the spores difficult to remove and says removal may even damage paint.

A 2018 post in that newsletter describes the artillery fungus (Sphaerobolus) forcibly shooting out a dark mass that sticks to plants, sidings, car exteriors and wherever else it lands, up to several meters away. Both items are OSU Extension writing about a mulch fungus, not an Ohio study of siding, and neither is about soft washing.

How we work

Look at the house with you. The free estimate is a walk around the property to see what you’d like washed. Any problem a crew comes across gets photographed, and you receive the photos.

Plants and runoff. We soak the plants around the house, and we manage the runoff path.

Low pressure, eco-friendly products. The products go on at low pressure, and it is the solution, rather than force, that does the cleaning.

When to schedule a soft wash in Cincinnati

At the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport station, every month of NOAA’s 1991–2020 normals averages more than 3 inches of precipitation. With no dry season to wait for, book whenever something bothers you: a deck that has turned green, or a fence you’re tired of looking at.

Plan on repeating it every few years, with a shorter gap on the shady side of the house.

Soft washing is available across Cincinnati and its metro area, including Blue Ash, Lawrenceburg and Northern Kentucky, and Dayton is part of the service area as well.
