The short answer is yes. It CAN damage your home but that's why you hire a professional. We use a technique called soft washing during our house washes here in North Carolina. 

Soft washing is a gentle yet highly effective cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly detergents to remove dirt, mold, mildew, and algae from your home’s exterior. Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing is safer for delicate surfaces like siding, roofs, and windows. It helps extend the life of your home’s exterior materials while also preventing future growth of harmful bacteria.

At Green Eagle Pressure Washing, serving the Wake and Johnston County areas, including Garner, Raleigh, Clayton, and Fuquay-Varina, we recommend soft washing to protect your investment and maintain curb appeal. It's the ideal solution for keeping your home clean without causing damage.
