If your Champaign, Illinois home or commercial building has stubborn mold or algae growth that refuses to budge with standard cleaning solutions, it’s likely time to contact a professional exterior cleaning company. Although some property owners may assume that they’ll need power washing equipment to get the job done right, this is rarely the case. In most instances, soft washing is the ideal method for effective, long-lasting results.
Our dedicated team at Excel Eco Clean has been in the exterior cleaning industry for over 30 years, and we specialize in soft washing services. Unlike power washing, soft washing techniques rely on biodegradable cleaning agents and small amounts of water to gently but thoroughly clean all types of surfaces. Instead of using intense water pressure to blast contaminants away, soft washing methods remove mold and algae at their roots, resulting in a longer lasting clean and a thoroughly sanitized surface.
One key thing that we want to emphasize is that power washing can often damage older materials or less resilient structures. For instance, power washing equipment should never be used on wood fences or decks, vinyl siding, or roofing systems. Doing so can result in visible damage, as well as structural weakness, reducing the overall lifespan of the materials. If you want to ensure the safety and longevity of your property, soft washing is the way to go.

FAQs About Power Washing
Power washing may seem like the most efficient way to tackle stubborn exterior stains, mold, and algae, but more pressure isn’t always the answer. Here at Excel Eco Clean, we recommend soft washing instead, a gentler alternative that uses biodegradable cleaning agents and minimal water pressure to clean and sanitize exterior surfaces. This approach can provide thorough, long-lasting results while reducing the risk of damage to older or less resilient materials.
Hidden
What’s the difference between power washing and soft washing?
Power washing relies primarily on high-pressure water to remove dirt and contaminants from a surface. Soft washing uses biodegradable cleaning agents to break down and eliminate contaminants at their roots, followed by a gentle rinse. This allows soft washing to clean effectively without depending on intense water pressure.
Can power washing damage my home's exterior?
It can, especially if you attempt to power wash older, delicate, or less resilient materials, such as wood fences and decks, vinyl siding, and roofing systems. Soft washing provides a gentler alternative designed to protect these materials.
Is soft washing effective against stubborn mold and algae?
Yes. Soft washing is especially effective at treating organic contaminants because its cleaning agents target mold and algae at their roots. This approach helps eliminate the contaminants instead of simply removing their visible growth from the surface.
Does soft washing use a lot of water?
No. Soft washing uses relatively small amounts of water because the cleaning solutions do a lot of the heavy lifting. Our process focuses on using effective biodegradable cleaning agents rather than relying on large amounts of pressurized water.
