Soft washing vs. pressure washing a house
Pressure washing relies on force. On a house, that force can etch stucco, chip paint, tear screens, push water behind siding and break window seals, and it often leaves the mold roots behind so the green comes back quickly. Soft washing relies on a cleaning solution applied at low pressure. It loosens the dirt and kills the organic growth, and then we rinse it away gently. The result lasts longer and the surface is left intact.
We still use pressure where it belongs: driveways, sidewalks and pavers. The right method for each surface is the difference between a clean house and a damaged one.
What a house wash includes
- Exterior walls: stucco, vinyl, Hardie board, wood and brick
- Soffits, fascia and eaves, where spiders and mildew collect
- Gutter faces, to knock back the black “tiger stripes”
- Front entry, garage door and exterior light fixtures
- Lanai and pool cage screening on request
- A rinse of landscaping and windows when we’re done
BEFOREAFTER
Why Tampa Bay homes need it
Our humidity, afternoon storms and shade from live oaks keep exterior walls damp for much of the year, which is exactly what mold and algae need. North-facing walls, areas behind shrubs and homes near ponds and conservation areas usually turn green first. Most homes in the area benefit from a house wash every year or two, and many HOAs in Brandon, Valrico, FishHawk and Riverview send violation letters once growth is visible.
Selling, painting or answering an HOA letter?
A clean exterior helps listing photos and inspections, and painters need a clean surface for new paint to bond. If you’ve received an HOA notice, tell us the deadline when you call. Pair a house wash with soft wash roof cleaning and driveway or paver cleaning to take care of the whole property in one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is soft washing safe for stucco and paint?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure, so it cleans stucco, painted surfaces and siding without etching, chipping or forcing water behind the wall.
How long does a house wash take?
Most single-family homes are finished in a few hours. Larger homes and multi-building properties take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect when we quote.
Do I need to be home?
Usually not. We need access to an outdoor water spigot and the yard. Close windows and move cars out of the driveway if you can.
Will it hurt my plants or pets?
We pre-wet and rinse landscaping before and after. Keep pets inside while we work and until surfaces are rinsed and dry.
How often should I wash my house in Florida?
Most Tampa Bay homes need a house wash every 1–2 years. Shaded walls and homes near water may need it more often.
Can I get a house washing quote over the phone?
Yes. Call 813-455-3670 and most homes can be quoted the same day, free.
Common Questions
What causes the green and black growth on Tampa Bay houses?
It is mold, mildew and algae, fed by Tampa Bay's heat and humidity. Peter's Pressure Washing's soft wash kills the growth at the source instead of just blasting the surface, so it takes longer to come back.
Why not just pressure wash a house?
On a house, high pressure can etch stucco, chip paint, tear screens, push water behind siding and break window seals, and it often leaves mold roots behind. Peter's Pressure Washing soft washes homes and saves high pressure for driveways, sidewalks and pavers.
What surfaces does a house wash cover?
A Peter's Pressure Washing house wash covers stucco, vinyl, Hardie board, wood and brick walls, plus soffits, fascia, eaves, gutter faces, the front entry, garage door and exterior light fixtures. Lanai and pool cage screens can be added on request.
Can you remove the black stripes on my gutters during a house wash?
Yes. Peter's Pressure Washing cleans gutter faces as part of a house wash to knock back the black "tiger stripes." Full gutter whitening is also offered as a separate service.
