DELICATE SURFACES
Surfaces That Need Soft Washing in Shreveport
Soft washing is a method, not a single surface. We use it wherever low pressure and a cleaning solution will clean better and safer than force. These are the surfaces we soft wash most often around Shreveport.
Awnings & Canopies
Fabric and metal awnings collect algae, mildew, and environmental staining. A soft wash cleans them without damaging the material or stitching.
Wood & Vinyl Fences
Aged wood and painted fences can splinter or lose their finish under pressure. A soft wash removes algae and mildew gently.
Pergolas & Outdoor Structures
Painted and stained wood structures hold moisture and grow algae. Soft washing cleans them without stripping the finish.
Railings & Outdoor Trim
Vinyl and composite railings and trim show algae and dirt in the grooves. Low pressure cleans them without scarring the surface.
Homes & Siding
Siding, brick, and stucco are the most common soft wash. See our house washing service.
Roofs
Black streaks are algae, and a low-pressure wash removes them safely. See our roof washing.
WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Clean Sweep Outdoor Solutions' Customer Reviews
WHAT WE CLEAN
What Soft Washing Removes
Soft washing is built for organic growth: algae, mold, mildew, and the film they leave behind. For grease and oil we use hot-water power washing, and for concrete and hard surfaces we use pressure washing.
Low pressure. Lasting results.
We treat the growth, not just the surface, so the clean lasts longer.
Green & Black Algae
The most common soft wash target. The cleaning solution kills algae at the source instead of just rinsing the surface.
Mildew & Mold
Mildew and mold in damp, shaded areas are treated with a solution that breaks down the growth and its roots.
Moss & Lichen
Moss and lichen that cling to wood, shingles, and stone are loosened by the solution and rinsed away gently.
Pollen Film
The yellow-green film that coats surfaces every spring rinses away without scrubbing or force.
Environmental Staining
Discoloration from weather, runoff, and airborne buildup, including on fabric and metal awnings.
Dirt & Spider Webs
Dust, dirt, and webs that collect on fences, awnings, and outdoor structures.
The Solution Does the Work, Not the Pressure
Soft washing applies a cleaning solution at low pressure, lets it dwell to break down algae and mildew, then rinses gently. Because it treats organic growth at the source instead of blasting it off, the clean tends to last longer than a pressure wash.

When Soft Washing Is the Right Choice
Soft washing is a method, not a surface. We use it any time low pressure and a cleaning solution will do a better, safer job than force. Here is when that is.
01 · Growth
Green or Black Streaks
Streaks and green patches are algae. Soft washing treats it at the source, so it does not come right back.
02 · Finish
Painted or Stained Surfaces
Paint and stain can chip or fade under high pressure. A soft wash cleans without stripping the finish.
03 · Material
Older or Delicate Materials
Aged wood, shingles, stucco, and fabric need a gentle approach. Low pressure protects the material.
04 · Longevity
When Lasting Results Matter
Because the solution kills growth at the source, soft washing results tend to last longer than force alone.
05 · Landscaping
Plants and Landscaping Nearby
We protect nearby plants and rinse the area when we finish, so a soft wash fits properties with gardens and mature landscaping.
Why Shreveport Surfaces Need Soft Washing
Shreveport’s heat, humidity, and rain create near-constant conditions for algae, mildew, and mold on anything that stays damp or shaded. Blasting that growth off with pressure removes the surface layer, but the roots often stay behind. A soft wash treats the growth itself.
01 · Climate
Humidity Keeps Algae Growing
Warm, damp weather keeps surfaces wet long enough for algae and mildew to take hold and spread, especially in the shade.
02 · Prevention
Treats Growth at the Source
The solution kills organic growth instead of just rinsing the surface, which slows regrowth.
03 · Protection
Protects Finishes and Materials
Low pressure keeps paint, stain, shingles, and fabric intact while still getting them clean.
04 · Appearance
Restores an Even Color
Removing streaks and discoloration brings surfaces back to a consistent, cared-for look.
05 · Homes
Homes and Roofs
Our most common soft washing is on siding and roofs. See our house washing service.

Soft Washing FAQs
Straightforward answers for Shreveport property owners considering a soft wash.
Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low-pressure water and specialized cleaning solutions to break down and remove algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria from exterior surfaces. The solution treats the growth at the source instead of just rinsing the surface.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water and is best for concrete and other hard surfaces. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution, which is safer for delicate surfaces like roofs, painted wood, and awnings. See our pressure washing page.
We protect nearby plants and landscaping before we start and rinse the area when we finish, so soft washing works on properties with gardens and mature landscaping.
We soft wash awnings and canopies, wood and vinyl fences, pergolas and other outdoor structures, railings, and the siding, brick, stucco, and roofs on homes. For whole-home cleaning, see our house washing page.
Results depend on shade, moisture, and tree cover, but because the solution kills growth at the source, a soft wash tends to last longer than a pressure wash. Many Shreveport properties benefit from a cleaning every one to two years.
