House washing
What house washing with us looks like
Exterior walls get dirty slowly. You don't notice until you see a freshly painted house next door, or the black streaks under your eaves show up in a photo. Near the coast it's salt film and mould. Under big trees it's green algae on the shaded side.
We wash houses with a soft wash system. A cleaning solution goes on at low pressure, sits long enough to kill the mould at the root, and gets rinsed off. Paint stays on the wall. Seals around windows stay where they are.
Why it matters
What you get
Safe for paint and render
Low pressure means no lifted paint, no water forced behind cladding and no cracked render.
Kills mould, not just colour
A wash that only uses water moves the stain around. The soft wash solution kills the spores so the wall stays cleaner for longer.
Glass, frames and eaves included
We rinse windows, aluminium frames, downpipes and soffits as part of the wash so the whole elevation matches.
Gardens looked after
Plants are pre-wet and rinsed after, and we choose products that are safe for the garden at the dilution we use.

Our method
How we do it
Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy.
Step 01 of 04
Inspect the walls
We check for loose paint, cracked render and gaps around windows before any water goes on, and point them out to you.
He was professional, responsive, and delivered exactly as promised.
Step 02 of 04
Pre-wet and protect
Plants and garden beds are soaked first. Vents, power points and light fittings are covered.
Great work, fair pricing, and excellent communication.
Step 03 of 04
Apply and dwell
The soft wash solution goes on at low pressure and is left to work. Heavy mould gets a second pass.
Excellent service! Nathan is punctual and nothing is a problem.
Step 04 of 04
Rinse top to bottom
Everything is rinsed from the gutters down, including glass, frames and the garden.
Soft wash or pressure wash for a house?
For walls, soft wash. High pressure is right for concrete and some stone, but on a painted or rendered wall it strips paint, opens hairline cracks and can push water behind cladding. A soft wash cleans the same wall with a fraction of the pressure because the solution does the work.
There are exceptions. Face brick and some masonry handle a gentle pressure rinse, and we'll use it where it helps. You'll know before we start which method goes on which wall.
Before a sale, a repaint or an event
A house wash is the cheapest way to change how a home looks in photos. It's worth booking before listing photos, before painters prep the walls, or a week before a wedding or a big birthday at home.

Rated 5.0 from 92+ Google reviews.
Nathan did a great job washing the external sides of our house. The weatherboard was dirty and had cobwebs. Nathan went above and beyond our expectations, the house was perfectly clean and all the cobwebs were gone.
Nathan did an incredible job at my home cleaning all my outdoor paving areas. He even washed some extra areas of my house free of charge and his price was very reasonable. He's a lovely fella and was prompt, friendly and professional. I highly recommend Nathan's services.
Nathan just completed a pressure wash of our travertine pavers under our alfresco area, around the pool and the sundeck. What an absolutely fantastic job. Nathan is punctual, knowledgeable, polite and left our place neat and tidy. We will certainly be calling him back on a regular basis and can highly recommend him.

Still have a question?
Talk to Nathan directly. He quotes and attends every job himself.
How often should I wash the outside of my house?
Near the ocean or harbour, every 12 months keeps salt and mould under control. Further inland or with little shade, every 18 to 24 months is usually enough.
Will soft washing hurt my garden?
We pre-wet plants, use the solution at a dilution that's safe for gardens and rinse everything afterwards. Very delicate plants near the wall can be covered.
Can you wash a two or three storey house?
Yes. Our equipment reaches three storeys from the ground in most cases, so no scaffolding or roof access is needed for the walls.
Do you clean windows as part of a house wash?
The outside of the glass and frames is rinsed as part of the wash. A detailed streak-free window clean is a separate job.
Will a wash remove black streaks under the eaves?
Most of the time, yes. Those streaks are usually mould and dirt washed down from the roof, and the soft wash solution lifts them.
Do I need to be home during the wash?
No. We need access to the outside of the house and a tap. Close windows and doors before we arrive and we'll do the rest.

Roof cleaning
Every roof we do is a moss, mould and lichen treatment. No pressure on the tiles. The treatment keeps working with the rain and kills the growth off over about 12 months.

Sydney sandstone is beautiful and soft. We clean walls, stairs, retaining walls and paving with low pressure and the right chemistry, so the stone comes back to its colour without losing its face.
