Why choose Sunflow for exterior soft washing?

Refresh the exterior without attacking the finish.

Soft washing is designed for surfaces that need a gentler approach. We match the treatment to the wall or coating and work carefully around the details that make the property yours.

RESULT

A fresher, better-kept exterior

Lift dirt and organic growth from walls, fascias, eaves and boundary walls so the property feels cared for again.

METHOD

Low pressure, chosen for the finish

Painted and delicate surfaces are not treated like paving. We use a lower-impact method shaped around the material and condition.

Refresh exterior walls with a gentler clean

Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning treatment chosen for the surface. We check the finish and condition first, protect nearby plants, windows and fittings, and adjust the method to suit the area.

What you get

  • A quick check of the surface and visible build-up
  • Cleaning of the walls, fascias, eaves or boundary walls included in your quote
  • Care around nearby plants, windows, fittings and metalwork
  • A tidy finish and before-and-after photos when requested

A clear result, with no surprises

  • We focus on cleaning; painting, waterproofing and repairs need the right trade specialist
  • Old paint damage, oxidation and deeply set marks can still show after a clean
  • If a coating is failing, we’ll point it out before we begin
  • Sunflow currently focuses on single- and double-storey properties

How the clean works

  1. Review photos, surface types, property size and access
  2. Test an uncertain or delicate coating before broader cleaning
  3. Protect plants, windows, electrical fittings and metalwork
  4. Apply the right low-pressure treatment for the surface, then gently agitate where needed
  5. Rinse with low impact, manage runoff and review the result

Why the method matters

  • The paint or coating and its current condition
  • The age and porosity of the surface
  • Dirt, organic growth and traffic film
  • Nearby plants, windows, fittings and metalwork
  • The best way to control water around the work area

Frequently asked

Questions about exterior soft washing.

Is soft washing the same as pressure washing?

No. Soft washing uses lower pressure and a cleaning treatment chosen for the surface. Hard outdoor areas may need another controlled method, but we never use one pressure setting for everything.

Can you soft wash a painted house?

Usually, when the paint and surface are in good condition. If the coating is flaking or powdery, we’ll show you before starting and explain the best next step.

Will every mark come off?

Dirt and organic growth often respond well. Oxidation, old paint damage and deeply set stains can still show, and we’ll set that expectation before the clean.

How long will it take?

Many residential jobs are completed in a day. We’ll confirm the timing from the size, access and services you choose.

Before we visit: Most jobs need an outdoor tap and a safe power point. If that is not available, just tell us when you enquire.
