Gentle exterior care

House Washing & Soft Washing in Sydney

House washing is a low-pressure soft wash that cleans a home's exterior walls, eaves, fascias and gutters using biodegradable detergents rather than high pressure. The solution kills mould and algae at the root, so a Sydney home typically stays clean four to six times longer than after a standard pressure clean.

Useful answers

House washing questions, answered.

What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure — around 150 to 180 PSI — combined with biodegradable detergents that kill mould and algae at the root. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water alone, typically 2,000 PSI or more, to blast contaminants off. Soft washing is the correct method for walls, roofs and painted surfaces; pressure washing suits hard surfaces like concrete.
How much does house washing cost in Sydney?
Professional house washing in Sydney generally costs between $300 and $600 for a standard residential property. A two-bedroom home is usually $250 to $400 and a three-bedroom home $300 to $600. Final pricing depends on the size of the home, how much organic growth has built up, access and whether you add driveway or window cleaning.
Will soft washing damage my paint or render?
No. Soft washing is specifically chosen because it does not damage paint, render or cladding. The water pressure is comparable to a garden hose, so there is no risk of stripping paint, forcing water behind cladding or removing render texture — all common outcomes when high pressure is used on wall surfaces.
Do I need to be home during the house wash?
No. Most of our customers are at work. We simply need access to an outdoor tap and ask that you close all windows and doors on the day. We will message you when the team is on the way and send before-and-after photos when the job is finished.
How long does a house wash take?
A typical Sydney home takes two to four hours. That covers pre-treatment, dwell time while the solution works, and a full low-pressure rinse. Larger double-storey properties with extensive eaves and cladding can take most of a day.
