Low-pressure cleaning for surfaces that high pressure would damage.
- Commercial only
- Licensed and insured
- Serving DeKalb County
Overview
What commercial soft washing covers
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that relies on appropriate cleaning solutions and dwell time rather than force. It is the correct choice for any exterior surface where high pressure could erode, streak or drive water behind the finish.
On most commercial sites soft washing and pressure washing are used together — soft washing on the building, pressure on the concrete.

How the work is done
Method, sequencing and site conditions
Removing growth, not just rinsing it
Algae, mildew and lichen sit in the surface, not just on it. Rinsing with pressure removes the visible layer and leaves the biological root behind, which is why untreated growth returns quickly.
Soft washing treats the growth directly, which produces a cleaner result and a longer interval before the next service.
Protecting the site while we work
Landscaping, entries and adjacent surfaces are pre-wet, protected and rinsed. Crews work in controlled sections so runoff is managed and pedestrian areas stay safe and passable.
Working with us
From first call to recurring maintenance
- 01
Call and describe the property
Reach us at (404) 313-8900. We ask about property type, approximate square footage, surfaces, access and how the site operates during the day.
- 02
On-site assessment
We walk the property to identify surface types, substrate condition, soiling, water sources, drainage and staging. This is what makes a commercial quote accurate.
- 03
Written scope and schedule
You get a scope that lists exactly which areas are included, the method used on each, the sequence across buildings or levels, and the working window.
- 04
Work performed around operations
Crews work nights, early mornings, weekends or phased by building so parking, entrances, trash service and tenant access stay available.
- 05
Walkthrough and maintenance cycle
We walk the finished work with you and recommend a realistic recurring cycle for the areas that need it, rather than selling the same frequency to every property.

Questions
About commercial soft washing
Is soft washing effective on heavy algae?
Yes. Soft washing is generally more effective than pressure on organic growth because it treats the growth rather than only removing the visible surface layer.
Which surfaces should be soft washed instead of pressure washed?
Painted siding, stucco, EIFS, wood, vinyl, awnings and most building elevations. Hard concrete, masonry and industrial surfaces are typically pressure washed instead.
