Professional House Washing
Is your home's exterior looking dirty, dull, or covered in green algae and mildew? Why not clean it yourself? The thing most people don’t know is how damaging pressure washers can be. Most pressure washers are 2000 to 4000 psi. With that pressure, you can strip, etch, or blow apart most sidings. Our gentle soft washing process safely removes dirt, grime, algae, mold, and mildew from your home's exterior without relying on damaging high pressure.
Whether you have vinyl, brick, Hardiboard, aluminum, or wood, our experienced team helps restore your home's curb appeal and leave it looking fresh and clean. We take pride in delivering dependable, professional exterior cleaning services with results you can see.
Whether you are looking for a partial house wash, complete house wash, or any other exterior cleaning services, we are here to help. Give your home the clean, refreshed appearance it deserves with trusted house washing from Hydro Shine. Contact us today for a free estimate!
FAQs
What is house washing and how does it work?
1
House washing is a professional exterior cleaning service designed to remove dirt, grime, algae, mold, mildew, and other buildup from your home's exterior. At Hydro Shine, we use a safe and effective soft washing process that applies the appropriate cleaning solution to loosen organic growth and surface buildup before thoroughly rinsing your home. Professional house washing helps restore curb appeal and keeps your siding looking fresh and clean.
Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding?
2
Yes, not only is it safe, it is the recommended method for house washing vinyl siding. Unlike high-pressure cleaning, soft washing uses lower water pressure combined with professional cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, mold, and mildew. Hydro Shine uses a careful house washing process designed to clean vinyl siding thoroughly while helping protect your home's exterior.
What is the difference between house washing and pressure washing?
3
The biggest difference is the use of chemicals and amount of water pressure used. House washing typically uses a soft washing process that combines professional cleaning solutions with low-pressure rinsing, making it ideal for siding and other delicate exterior surfaces. Pressure washing uses significantly higher pressure without the aid of any chemicals and is better suited for durable surfaces like concrete. At Hydro Shine, we use the proper cleaning method for each surface to deliver effective results without unnecessary damage.
Can house washing remove mold, mildew, and algae?
4
That is the whole purpose of house washing! Professional house washing can help remove common exterior buildup such as algae, mold, mildew, dirt, and grime. Our soft washing process is designed to treat and clean organic growth from your home's exterior instead of simply blasting the surface with high pressure. If your siding has green algae, black streaks, or noticeable mildew buildup, a professional house wash can significantly improve your home's appearance.
How often should I have my house washed?
5
It depends on a variety of factors. Most homeowners benefit from professional house washing every 1–3 years, depending on the home's location and exterior conditions. Homes exposed to moisture, shade, tree coverage, and Michigan's changing weather have an increase likelihood to develop algae, mold, and mildew more quickly. Regular house washing helps maintain not just your home's curb appeal but can also prevent organic growth build up that breaks down your siding.
How long does a professional house wash take?

The time required for a professional house wash depends on the size and complexity of your home, the weather conditions that day, and the amount of buildup present.
