House Washing in Hernando, MS

Hernando has everything from historic homes near the square to new construction on the edge of town, and every one of them cleans up best with a soft wash. High pressure is the wrong tool for siding: it forces water behind vinyl panels, damages older wood and paint, and can etch mortar. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that breaks down mildew, algae, and dirt so they rinse away gently.

Because the solution kills the growth at the root, the results last. Most homes in our climate stay clean for one to two years after a soft wash, compared to a few months after a high pressure rinse.

Hernando's mature trees are wonderful for shade and hard on siding. Walls that stay in shadow dry slowly after rain and morning dew, and that extra moisture is all algae needs. The north side of the house, walls behind shrubs, and siding under an overflowing gutter are always the first to turn green or develop black streaks.

If gutter overflow is feeding the problem, we can clean the gutters during the same visit. Clean gutters keep water off your siding, which helps the wash last longer.

There is also a simple maintenance step that slows the green down: trimming shrubs and low branches back from the walls so air and sunlight can reach them. Combined with clean gutters and sprinklers aimed away from the house, most Hernando homes stay bright for one to two years between washes.

Older wood siding, painted surfaces, brick, vinyl, and fiber cement are all safe with a soft wash. We also clean gutter faces, soffits, porches, and trim, so the whole exterior brightens in one visit. Plants are wetted down before and after, and the solution strength is matched to each surface so nothing gets damaged.
