Soft Washing in Seattle, detergent, not force
For Seattle's old-growth Craftsman and Tudor details, soft washing is the only careful way to remove moss and green film from wood, brick and stucco.
What to know about soft washing in Seattle
In Ballard, Wallingford, Green Lake and Wedgwood, 1920s–40s exteriors have fine trim, painted wood and old mortar that won't tolerate pressure. A soft wash kills the growth at the root with low pressure and a matched detergent, protecting fragile surfaces. Tight lots and street parking affect setup, and because Seattle is at the edge of our range we prioritize north-end addresses.
