How We Clean Your Home Right

First, we assess your home’s specific needs—Virginia’s climate affects different materials differently, and what works on vinyl might damage cedar or historic brick. You get a clear explanation of our approach before we start.

Next comes the actual cleaning using our certified soft wash process. This isn’t high-pressure blasting that can force water behind siding or strip paint. It’s a methodical application of professional-grade solutions that break down mold, mildew, algae, and embedded dirt at the molecular level.

Finally, we rinse everything thoroughly and inspect the results with you. You see exactly what we’ve accomplished, and we explain how to maintain your home’s new appearance. The whole process typically takes a few hours, depending on your home’s size and condition.

Fairfield House Washing Services

What's Included in Every Wash

Your house washing service covers all exterior surfaces—siding, trim, windows, doors, and foundation areas. We handle vinyl, fiber cement, cedar, brick, and stone with appropriate techniques for each material.

In Fairfield’s humid environment, we pay special attention to areas where moisture collects: north-facing walls, areas under roof lines, and spots where landscaping creates shade. These are prime breeding grounds for the algae and mold that Virginia homeowners know too well.

We also clean your gutters’ exterior, remove spider webs and wasp nests, and address any staining from Virginia’s seasonal pollen and tree debris. Everything that makes your home look tired and neglected gets addressed in one comprehensive service.

How often should I have my house washed in Virginia?

Most Virginia homes need professional washing every 12-18 months due to our humid climate and seasonal challenges. If you’re seeing black streaks, green growth, or notice your home looking dingy despite regular maintenance, it’s time for a wash. Homes with more shade, those surrounded by trees, or properties in areas with poor air circulation may need cleaning annually. The key is addressing buildup before it becomes embedded in your siding or starts affecting your home’s structural integrity. We can assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your home looking great while protecting your investment.
Soft washing is specifically designed to be safe for all siding materials when done correctly. Unlike high-pressure washing that can force water behind siding or damage delicate surfaces, soft washing uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions. The process is particularly effective on vinyl, fiber cement, cedar, and even historic materials that require gentle treatment. Our certified technicians adjust their approach based on your siding type, age, and condition. We’ve successfully cleaned everything from modern vinyl to century-old cedar shingles without damage. Our specialized solutions break down contaminants without the mechanical stress that causes most pressure washing problems.
Yes, professional soft washing removes black streaks, mold, mildew, and algae growth that Virginia’s climate creates. These aren’t just surface stains—they’re living organisms that continue growing if not properly treated. Our process kills these organisms at the root and removes their food sources, preventing immediate regrowth. The specialized solutions we use are designed specifically for Virginia’s common exterior contaminants. Most staining disappears immediately during the cleaning process. Heavily embedded stains may take a few days to fully fade as the cleaning solutions continue working. The result is siding that looks years newer and stays cleaner longer.
Plant protection is built into every job from the start. Before any cleaning begins, we wet down all vegetation and cover sensitive plants with protective sheeting. The cleaning solutions we use are biodegradable and designed to be safe around landscaping when properly applied. We also rinse plants thoroughly before and after the cleaning process to ensure no residue remains. We’ve cleaned thousands of Virginia homes without landscape damage. Our experience with local plant varieties and seasonal sensitivities means your gardens, shrubs, and lawn stay healthy throughout the cleaning process.
Most pressure washing companies use high-pressure water and generic detergents—an approach that can damage siding and doesn’t address Virginia’s specific climate challenges. We specialize in soft washing with solutions formulated for our regional contaminants. Our technicians are certified by multiple industry organizations and trained specifically in techniques that work in humid, mold-prone environments. We understand which cleaning agents work on Virginia’s common algae strains and how to prevent regrowth. You also get true local expertise—we know Fairfield’s microclimates, understand which homes face recurring issues, and can recommend maintenance schedules based on your specific location and exposure conditions.
With proper soft washing, most Virginia homes stay noticeably cleaner for 12-24 months, depending on environmental factors. Homes with good drainage, adequate sunlight, and minimal tree coverage typically stay cleaner longer. The cleaning solutions we use include components that inhibit regrowth, extending the time between cleanings. This is particularly important in Virginia where humidity and organic matter create ideal conditions for rapid regrowth. Factors like your home’s orientation, surrounding vegetation, and local air quality affect longevity. We provide specific guidance based on your property’s characteristics and can recommend simple maintenance steps that extend the cleaning’s effectiveness.
