House Washing Process Sherando

How We Clean Your Home

First, we inspect your property and identify the specific cleaning challenges. Every house is different—vinyl siding needs different treatment than fiber cement, and we adjust accordingly.

Next comes the soft wash application. This isn’t high-pressure blasting that can damage your siding. We use specialized cleaning solutions that break down mold, mildew, and organic buildup at the molecular level.

The cleaning solution does the heavy lifting while we carefully rinse everything clean with low pressure. Your landscaping stays protected, your siding stays intact, and you get results that last longer than traditional pressure washing. Most Sherando homeowners find they can go 18-24 months between cleanings instead of needing annual service.

What's Included in House Washing

Complete exterior house cleaning covers all your siding, trim, shutters, and exterior surfaces. We treat different materials appropriately—vinyl, fiber cement, wood, and even specialty surfaces get the right approach.

Sherando’s rural setting means homes face unique challenges. Pollen buildup from surrounding trees, dust from gravel roads, and moisture from the Shenandoah Valley create perfect conditions for mold and mildew growth.

We understand these local conditions. We’ve developed cleaning processes that work specifically for Central Virginia’s climate and environmental factors. Your house gets cleaned thoroughly, but more importantly, it stays cleaner longer because we’re addressing the root causes, not just the surface symptoms.

How often should I have my house washed in Sherando?

Most Sherando homeowners benefit from house washing every 18-24 months, though this depends on your specific situation. Homes with more tree coverage or those facing prevailing winds may need cleaning more frequently. The soft wash method we use actually lasts longer than traditional pressure washing because it kills mold and mildew at the source rather than just blasting it off the surface. This means you get better value and longer-lasting results. If you’re seeing black streaks, green discoloration, or notice your siding looking dull, it’s time for a cleaning regardless of when you last had it done.
Soft washing is significantly safer than high-pressure cleaning for both your home and your landscaping. The process uses low pressure—similar to a garden hose—combined with specialized cleaning solutions that do the actual work. We take extra precautions to protect your plants and outdoor features. We pre-rinse vegetation, cover sensitive plants when necessary, and thoroughly rinse everything afterward to ensure no cleaning solution residue remains. The cleaning solutions we use are biodegradable and designed specifically for exterior cleaning. Your siding gets thoroughly cleaned without the risk of damage from high-pressure water that can force moisture behind siding or strip paint.
We operate on old-fashioned business principles that are rare today. You’ll always reach a real person when you call, not an answering service. Our crew communicates clearly about timing and any issues we encounter. We’re certified by industry leaders like Spray Wash Pro and the National Soft Wash Alliance, which means we’re trained in the latest techniques and safety protocols. Most importantly, we’ve been serving Central Virginia for over 15 Years. We also offer specialized services you won’t find elsewhere, including our innovative cork-safe cleaning process for wineries and other unique properties. This attention to detail and willingness to solve complex problems sets us apart from companies that only offer basic pressure washing.
The ideal window for house washing in Sherando runs from March through November, before freezing temperatures arrive. Spring and fall are particularly popular because you’re either preparing for summer entertaining or getting ready for winter. Spring cleaning removes winter buildup and prepares your home for the growing season when mold and mildew are most active. Fall cleaning removes the summer’s accumulation of pollen, dust, and organic growth before winter sets in. We can work year-round as long as temperatures stay above freezing, but we recommend avoiding the hottest summer days when cleaning solutions can dry too quickly and the coldest winter days when equipment performance is compromised.
Preparation is minimal, but there are a few things that help the process go smoothly. Remove or secure any loose outdoor furniture, decorations, or items near your house that could be affected by overspray. Close all windows and doors, and let us know about any areas of concern like loose siding, recent repairs, or particularly sensitive plants. We’ll take extra precautions in these areas. You don’t need to do any pre-cleaning or move large items—that’s part of our service. We’ll handle protecting fixed outdoor furniture, grills, and other items that can’t be easily moved. The goal is to make the process as hassle-free as possible for you.
The actual cleaning process typically takes 2-4 hours depending on your home’s size and condition. You’ll hear the equipment running, but soft washing is much quieter than traditional pressure washing. Our crew will walk you through the process beforehand and point out any areas of concern. We’ll also do a final walkthrough with you to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the results. After cleaning, your house will look dramatically different—colors will be brighter, and surfaces will have that “just-built” appearance. The results continue to improve over the next few days as any remaining cleaning solution breaks down stubborn stains. You can expect the clean appearance to last 18-24 months with proper maintenance.
