House washing in Auckland

Low-pressure soft washing for weatherboards, cladding, soffits and windows, so the outside of the house comes clean without damaging paint.

A clean house without stripping the paint

Auckland weather leaves mould, lichen, grime and spider marks on weatherboards and cladding. Soft washing uses low pressure and the right cleaning solution, so surfaces come clean without forcing water behind the cladding.

We wash single and two-storey homes, townhouses and small commercial buildings, using extension equipment and ladders under our work-at-height procedures.

House washing is often booked before a sale, before painting, or as part of regular maintenance for rentals. Every job ends with before and after photos.

Common questions

What is the difference between soft washing and water blasting?

Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution, so it is gentler on paint and weatherboards. Water blasting uses high pressure and suits hard surfaces like concrete.

How often should a house be washed?

Most Auckland homes benefit from a wash every 12 to 24 months, depending on shade and exposure.

Do you wash two-storey houses?

Yes, using extension equipment and ladders under our work-at-height procedures.

Is it safe for my plants and pets?

We pre-wet and rinse surrounding plants and ask that pets are kept inside while we work.
