Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is softwashing?
Softwashing is a cleaning method that uses low pressure combined with specialized solutions to safely remove mildew, bacteria, algae, and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors. Unlike pressure washing, softwashing is gentle and does not damage surfaces.
Why should I choose softwashing over traditional pressure washing?
Softwashing is less abrasive than pressure washing, making it ideal for delicate surfaces like roofs and siding. It also provides a longer-lasting clean by killing the root of the problem, such as algae and mold, rather than just blasting away the surface layer.
Is softwashing safe for all surfaces?
Yes, softwashing is safe for most exterior surfaces, including roofs, siding, decks, fences, and more. Our team uses eco-friendly solutions that are safe for plants, pets, and people.
How often should I have my house softwashed?
The frequency of softwashing depends on several factors, including the local climate and the amount of shade around your home. Typically, we recommend softwashing every 1-3 years to maintain the appearance and integrity of your home’s exterior.
What are the benefits of softwashing my roof?
Softwashing your roof can extend its lifespan by removing harmful algae and mold that can degrade roofing materials. It also enhances the curb appeal of your home and can improve energy efficiency by removing dark stains that attract heat.
Is the softwashing solution used by Klemov environmentally friendly?
Yes, we use environmentally friendly and biodegradable cleaning solutions. Our methods are designed to be safe for your home, your family, and the environment.
How long does the softwashing process take?
The time required for softwashing varies based on the size and condition of your home. Most residential projects can be completed in a few hours. We’ll provide you with a time estimate during your initial consultation.
Will softwashing harm my plants or landscaping?
Our team takes precautions to protect your plants and landscaping. We pre-wet and rinse all vegetation around the area to be cleaned and cover sensitive plants when necessary. The solutions we use are also designed to minimize any impact on your landscaping.
Can softwashing help with pest control?
Yes, softwashing can help deter pests by removing the organic matter that attracts them. Algae, mold, and mildew can provide a food source and habitat for various pests, so eliminating these contaminants can reduce pest activity around your home.
Do I need to be home during the softwashing service?
You don’t need to be home during the service as long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and an outside water source. We will communicate with you beforehand to make all necessary arrangements.
