Soft Wash Specialists

Soft Wash House Washing, Auckland-Wide

Low-pressure, high-care exterior house cleaning that lifts mould, algae and grime without putting your cladding at risk.

Overview

Restore Your Home’s Exterior, the Safe Way

Auckland’s climate is tough on homes. Damp, shade and salt air let mould, algae and black lichen creep across weatherboard, brick, plaster and roughcast within a season or two — and a full-pressure blast can do more harm than good on softer claddings.

Hydro Clean uses a calibrated soft-wash technique: gentle water pressure paired with eco-friendly, biodegradable detergents that break down organic growth at the root. The result is a thorough clean that protects your paintwork, joinery and garden while leaving the exterior looking years younger.

What’s Included

  • Pre-treatment of mould, algae and black lichen
  • Low-pressure soft-wash application, matched to your cladding type
  • Eco-friendly, biodegradable detergents — safe for gardens and pets
  • Careful masking around windows, vents and light fittings
  • Gutter edge and fascia rinse-down
  • Driveway and pathway rinse included

FAQs

Common Questions

Most Auckland homes benefit from a wash every 12–18 months, though shaded or coastal properties can need attention sooner due to faster mould and salt build-up.

Yes — that’s the point of the method. We calibrate pressure and detergent strength to your specific cladding (weatherboard, brick, plaster, roughcast, vinyl) so surfaces are cleaned without erosion or paint damage.

Not necessarily. As long as we can access exterior taps and the areas being cleaned, many customers simply leave a gate unlocked and receive photos afterwards.

We use biodegradable, plant-safe detergents and pre-wet or cover sensitive garden beds where needed. Pets should be kept inside or away from the work area while we’re cleaning.

Most standard homes take 2–4 hours depending on size, cladding type and level of build-up. We’ll confirm a time estimate with your quote.
