House Washing Sydney — Soft Wash Specialists
House washing is the single highest-impact clean you can do to a Sydney home, and it's also the one most easily ruined by too much pressure. Blast a rendered wall and you'll drive water behind the coating; blast weatherboard and you'll lift the paint.

Clean & Capture
Waste water recovery
That's why we soft wash. A biodegradable cleaning solution is applied at low pressure, given time to kill the mould and algae at the root, then rinsed away gently. The chemistry does the work, not the pressure — so the mould stays gone longer and your paint stays where it belongs.
Why Sydney homes go green and black
Humidity, salt air near the coast, heavy tree canopy on the North Shore and long shaded southern elevations are a perfect breeding ground for mould, mildew and gloeocapsa algae. The black streaking under eaves and the green film on southern walls are living organisms, not dirt — which is why simply hosing them off achieves nothing lasting.
Left alone, that growth holds moisture against the surface and slowly breaks down paint film, render and sealants.
What a house wash covers
We clean the full exterior envelope — not just the walls you can reach from the ground.
- Render, brick, weatherboard, cladding and fibre cement walls
- Eaves, soffits, fascia, barge boards and gutter exteriors
- Window frames, sills, screens and glass rinse
- Garage doors, entry doors, columns and balustrades
- Downpipes, meter boxes, letterboxes and light fittings
- Rinse-down of paths and patios directly beneath the walls
Results you can see from the street
One of our long-standing clients put it best after we washed her home: it looked like a new exterior paint job. That's the point of soft washing — you're not covering the problem up, you're removing what was making a perfectly good paint job look ten years old.
What you get
- No pressure damage to render, paint or weatherboard
- Mould and algae killed at the root, so regrowth is much slower
- Biodegradable solutions, gardens protected before and after
- Cheaper and far less disruptive than repainting
- Removes cobwebs, dust, salt film and insect nests
- Can be combined with roof cleaning in the same visit

Our process
How we approach house washing
- 01
Site assessment & quote
We inspect the surface, identify what's actually causing the staining, then send a written fixed-price quote with inclusions spelled out. No vague hourly rates.
- 02
Set up & protection
Gardens, fittings, drains and adjoining surfaces are protected before a drop of water is used. Access, hoses and leads are run so the site stays safe and tidy.
- 03
Treat, then clean
Organic growth is chemically treated first so it dies at the root, then we clean at the correct pressure and temperature for the substrate.
- 04
Waste water capture
Our Clean & Capture system vacuums waste water to a holding tank as we work, so nothing contaminated enters the stormwater system.
- 05
Final walk-through
We walk the job with you (or send photo documentation for commercial and strata clients) and only pack up once you're satisfied.
Real results
Results you can see from the street
Treatment first, then correct pressure for the substrate. That's the whole trick — and it's why the result lasts.


Why choose us
Serious equipment, correct method, no guesswork
Exterior cleaning done badly damages render, strips coatings and cracks tiles. Here's how we avoid all three.
On the tools since 1998
Not a franchise and not a call centre. You deal with the same small crew that turns up and does the work.
Based in Parramatta
Local to Western Sydney and working across greater Sydney for homes, strata, commercial and industrial properties.
Clean & Capture waste water
Waste water is vacuumed and recovered as we clean, so nothing contaminated enters the stormwater system. It also lets us clean indoors.
Right method for the surface
Soft washing for render, coatings and roofs. Correct-pressure cleaning for concrete and masonry. Steam where heat beats pressure.
Treatment, not just a rinse
Mould and lichen are killed at the root before anything is rinsed, which roughly doubles how long the result lasts.
Fixed written quotes
Scope and inclusions in writing before we start. No hourly creep, no surprises on the invoice.
FAQs
House Washing — common questions
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing removes contamination with water force. Soft washing applies a cleaning solution at garden-hose pressure, lets it kill the organic growth, then rinses. For anything painted, rendered or fragile, soft washing is safer and lasts longer.
How long will my house stay clean?
Typically 18–24 months in Sydney. Heavily shaded, tree-covered or coastal properties tend to be on the shorter end. Because we treat the growth rather than just remove it, regrowth is slower than after a straight hose-off.
Will you clean the roof at the same time?
Yes — combining a house wash with roof cleaning is our most popular residential package, and it saves you a second set-up cost.
Do windows get streaky?
We rinse glass, frames and screens as part of the wash. If you want a proper detailed window finish, tell us when quoting and we'll include it.
