House Washing & Concrete Cleaning Project – Arlington, VA

We recently completed a full house softwashing and concrete cleaning project in Arlington, VA. This beautiful home, built in 1970, had never been professionally cleaned before, and years of built-up dirt, moss, algae, and mildew had taken a toll—especially on the concrete stairs leading to the basement.

To start, we applied a sodium hypochlorite pretreatment to all affected concrete surfaces; steps and a basketball court/family area. This powerful solution—commonly known as bleach—is highly effective in breaking down organic growth such as moss, mildew, and algae, preparing the surface for a deeper clean. With safety as our top priority, we pre-wet all vegetation and surrounding areas to protect the homeowner’s landscaping before treatment.

While the solution was working its magic on the concrete, we performed a complete soft wash house cleaning. We carefully applied our cleaning agents with appropriate dwell time and used low-pressure rinsing to gently but effectively remove years of dirt and grime from the siding. The transformation was immediate. As we moved around the home, neighbors took notice—commenting on how the exterior began to shine and stand out.

With the house gleaming, we returned to tackle the heavily soiled basement steps. Thanks to proper dwell time, the organic buildup had loosened significantly. Using a turbo nozzle and controlled high pressure, we cleaned the concrete thoroughly without causing any surface damage. The result? The stairs looked like new—restoring curb appeal and safety to the property. We couldn't be more thrilled with the reaction on the homeowners faces when they saw the finished product.

This Arlington homeowner was thrilled with the results, and we’re proud to deliver professional, high-quality pressure washing services in Northern Virginia. Whether you need a house wash, concrete cleaning, or algae removal, we’re here to help make your home shine.
