Professional house soft washing safely restores your home's appearance and protects its value.
We specialize in soft washing, not pressure washing. Our carefully calibrated low-pressure techniques combined with controlled cleaning solutions effectively remove all organic growth and staining without damaging painted surfaces, rendered finishes, or delicate exterior materials. This is premium care for your home.

Why House Washing Matters
Neglected exterior cleaning causes real, lasting problems:
- Moss & Mold Growth: In our climate, organic growth spreads rapidly, damaging exterior surfaces and shortening lifespan
- Property Value: A clean, well-maintained exterior significantly increases curb appeal and marketability
- Structural Damage: Trapped moisture from moss and mold can cause expensive damage to walls, trim, and foundations
- Health Concerns: Mold growth near entryways and windows poses potential health risks to your family
- Poor First Impressions: A dirty exterior reflects poorly on your property and neighbourhood
- Long-Term Protection: Regular professional cleaning extends the lifespan of your home's exterior significantly
Professional house soft washing every 12-18 months prevents damage, maintains beauty, protects value, and keeps your home safe and healthy.

Professional Cleaning Solutions & Methods
Guardian Wash believes in transparency about our cleaning methods. For house washing, we use a professional soft washing process with sodium hypochlorite-based cleaning solutions, carefully diluted and applied using controlled low-pressure methods. This approach helps treat organic growth such as mould, moss, algae, grime and cobwebs without blasting delicate exterior surfaces.
Before and after application, we thoroughly rinse nearby plants, gardens and sensitive areas with water to help protect the property. We adjust our process depending on the surface type, condition, property access and surrounding environment. This professional, transparent approach ensures your home receives the exact care it needs while protecting what matters most to you.
We focus on being responsible stewards of your property and environment. Our pre-rinsing and post-rinsing practices, combined with careful application, mean your landscaping and garden areas are protected throughout the cleaning process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my house washed?
We recommend professional house washing every 12-18 months depending on climate, shade, and tree coverage. Properties with more moss or mold growth may benefit from annual cleaning.
Is soft washing safe for all exterior surfaces?
Yes. We adjust pressure levels and solutions for all surfaces—painted walls, rendered finishes, timber cladding, and natural stone. Our professional expertise ensures protection of your home.
What cleaning solutions do you use?
We use professional soft wash solutions applied with care and controlled rinsing practices. We take steps to protect your plants and landscaping during the cleaning process.
How long does house washing take?
Timeframes vary depending on the size of the property, access, condition, and the service required. We will discuss the expected timeframe with you when preparing your quote.
Will my landscaping be protected?
Yes. We thoroughly pre-rinse your plants, flowers, and landscaping with water before washing, then rinse everything again after washing to help dilute and neutralise any cleaning solution residue.
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure with professional cleaning solutions, ideal for most residential surfaces. Pressure washing uses high pressure and can damage delicate materials. We use soft washing for homes.
