House Soft Wash – Manassas, VA

We recently completed a vinyl siding soft wash in Manassas, VA, for a home that had been overtaken by years of mold, mildew, and algae. Located at the entrance of the neighborhood, this property had become highly visible to anyone entering the community—and the grime buildup was hard to miss. We took the initiative to approach the homeowners about restoring their home’s appearance, and they were excited to move forward.

The siding showed clear signs of long-term organic buildup, likely caused by shade from surrounding trees and limited sunlight exposure. After a visual inspection, we determined that a standard rinse wouldn’t cut it—this job called for a full house softwashing treatment using an elevated soap concentration.

We began by pre-wetting the vinyl siding to ensure safe chemical application and to test if any of the grime would lift with water alone—it didn’t. We then applied our proprietary soft wash solution to the dirtiest side of the home and allowed it to dwell for approximately 10 minutes, carefully keeping the surface wet to prevent streaking or drying.

Once dwell time was complete, we used our low-pressure fan tip to rinse the siding, safely removing algae and buildup without damaging the surface. The transformation was immediate. We invited the homeowner outside to see the first cleaned section, and he was shocked at the results. One pass had completely revived the siding.

As we continued around the home, neighbors took notice. One passerby mentioned seeing dirty water pouring off the house and was amazed by the difference. By the time we finished, the entire home looked freshly painted—and the homeowner told us, “It looks better than when we bought this place!”

This job was especially rewarding because the home holds a prominent position at the head of the neighborhood. Now, instead of being known for grime, it stands out for its restored curb appeal and sparkling clean exterior. Another successful soft washing project in the books—and we’re ready for the next!
