Happy Planet Softwash

What is Softwashing and why is it more effective and safer than pressure/power washing?

Softwashing is the more effective, longer lasting alternative to pressure washing. Safe, 100% biodegradable chemicals emulsify dirt and grime, break down insect nests, and kill moss, mildew, algae and bacteria growing on your home. Softwashing uses one third the amount of water compared to pressure washing and lasts 4-6x longer!

Why do I need to clean and treat the exterior of my home?

While it’s easy to assume the materials on the outside of your home are not harmful, bacteria, mold, algae, and mildew eat through surfaces and finishes causing significant damage. Regular softwashing is the only way to ensure your home is properly cared for by obliterating harmful infestations of any organic material.

Why “Happy Planet”?

We are a bit fanatical about doing our part to take care of the planet the best we can. Living in Oregon we believe it is our duty to protect that natural landscape that surrounds our cities. Our Good Stewards pledge means we work tirelessly to ensure the chemicals we use are safe, biodegradable, and won’t cause further damage to your home.

What kinds of surfaces can you clean?

We can clean, treat and sanitize just about any surface on the outside of your home.

What about spider webs and insect nests around my house, do you get rid of those as well?

We do! Softwash Systems’ proprietary chemicals break down insect nests and spider webs and keep them away for longer than brushing or scrubbing. Spiders and bugs are our friends, we just don’t need their webs covering every outdoor lamp and doorway around the house!
