Is soft washing safe for stucco homes?
Soft washing is the method we recommend for stucco. It uses low pressure and professional cleaning solutions designed for exterior surfaces. We inspect first and point out any existing damage before we start.

The Right Wash for Every Surface
Soft Wash Methods Matched to Your Home
Not all exteriors are the same, and neither is Rex's approach. We adjust pressure, solution, and technique based on your home's specific materials and condition.
Stucco Soft Washing
Stucco is the most common exterior in Pasadena and it requires a gentle approach. Our soft wash uses low pressure designed to clean stucco gently, without blasting the surface.
Vinyl and Wood Siding
Different siding materials need different care. We adjust pressure and solutions for vinyl, wood and composite siding, and rinse thoroughly when we're done.
Mildew, Algae and Organic Buildup
Our professional cleaning solutions help remove mildew, algae and organic buildup, including on shaded north-facing walls. Many homeowners schedule regular washes to keep buildup under control.
Eave and Trim Cleaning
We don't skip the details. Eaves, soffits, fascia, and trim are all included because those areas collect just as much grime as your walls.

FAQs
Answers to common house washing questions from Pasadena homeowners.
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low water pressure (under 500 PSI) paired with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean siding, stucco, and painted surfaces. Pressure washing uses high water pressure (1500+ PSI) for hard surfaces like concrete driveways and stone patios. We use both methods depending on the surface, and we'll recommend the right approach for your home.
How often should I have my house washed in Southern California?
Most Southern California homes benefit from an annual house washing. Homes with heavy shade, north-facing walls, or close proximity to mature trees tend to develop mold and mildew faster and may need washing every 6 to 9 months. We can assess your home and suggest the right schedule.
Will house washing remove mildew and algae?
Our professional cleaning solutions help remove mildew, algae and organic buildup. Heavier buildup may need more dwell time. Results depend on the surface and conditions, and regular washing helps keep buildup under control.
How do you protect my plants and property?
Before we wash, we cover exterior outlets and pre-wet your landscaping with fresh water. While we work, we take precautions to keep cleaning solutions out of the street and storm drains. After, we rinse plants again, remove protective covers and check the work area before we leave.
