House Washing

House washing in Brisbane North & Moreton Bay: soft washed, never blasted

Render, brick, weatherboard and cladding cleaned with a low-pressure treatment that lifts mould, algae and grime without stripping paint or forcing water in behind the walls.

Two-storey rendered home with a paved backyard

Every wall gets its own approach

A house is five or six different materials stuck together. Each one takes a different mix and a different amount of care.

Render & painted masonry

Rendered walls hold mould and algae in their texture, especially on the south side. A soft wash reaches into it without wearing the render back or lifting the paint.

Weatherboard & timber

Painted boards are washed at low pressure so water isn't driven up under the laps and into the frame behind them.

Face brick

Brick and mortar joints come up clean without the etched lines a close-range pressure wand leaves, and without blasting out older mortar.

Fibre cement & cladding

Sheeting and modern cladding are washed gently around joins and trims, exactly where high pressure pushes water behind the panel.

Gutters, fascias & Colorbond

The black streaks running down the face of gutters and fascias come off with the rest of the house, and factory coatings stay intact.

Eaves, soffits & frames

Cobwebs, dust and mould under the eaves are cleared, and window frames and sills are rinsed down as we go.

Why we don't pressure wash houses

A pressure washer makes a wall look clean for a month. What it does behind the wall shows up later.

Pressure washing a house

  • Drives water behind weatherboards, cladding and window seals
  • Can lift sound paint and leave wand marks in render
  • Knocks off the visible mould but leaves the roots in the texture
  • Soaks the wall cavity, where moisture does its damage out of sight

How we soft wash

  • The treatment kills mould and algae at the root; low pressure only rinses it away
  • Paint, render and seals stay the way they were
  • Solutions made for us by a chemist here in Australia, mixed to suit the wall material
  • Stays cleaner for longer, because the growth is killed rather than knocked off

What happens on the day

01

Walk-around

We go around the house with you and point out any paint that's already flaking, cracked render or tired seals before anything gets wet.

02

Protect

Garden beds are protected, and pets, ponds and outdoor furniture are sorted before we start.

03

Treat & rinse

The treatment goes on at low pressure, is left to work, then rinsed off every wall, eave and gutter face.

04

Photos

Before and after photos of each side, including the upstairs walls you can't easily check yourself.

When a house wash makes the most sense

Plenty of people book us because the house looks tired. These are the times it pays for itself.

Before you paint

Paint won't bond properly over mould and chalky residue. A soft wash a few days before the painters arrive gives them a clean, dry surface to start on.

Before you sell or lease

Walls, eaves and paths look years younger in listing photos. We clean for agents ahead of photos, inspections and changes of tenancy.

With your roof clean

Doing the house on the same visit as the roof means roof runoff never lands on walls that have just been cleaned.

House washing questions

No. The treatment goes on and rinses off at low pressure, so sound paint stays where it is. Paint that's already flaking can come away in the rinse, which is why we point it out on the walk-around first.

Most homes around Brisbane North and Moreton Bay look their best with a wash every one to two years. Shaded walls, bush blocks and bayside homes usually sit at the shorter end of that.

Our solutions are made for us by a chemist here in Australia for use around homes, and garden beds are protected before we start. Tell us about ponds, veggie patches or pets when you book and we'll plan around them.

Yes, and it's the best order to do it in. The roof is cleaned first, then the walls, so nothing runs down onto a wall that's already been done.

Yes. Height and access are part of what we check when we quote, since they affect both the price and the method.

Not necessarily, as long as we can get to every side of the house and there's an outside tap we can use. We'll confirm what's needed when we book you in.
