House washing
A cleaner home that stays clean longer, without the risk of damage that comes with high pressure.
How house washing works
Many homeowners assume that cleaning a house means blasting it with high-pressure water. A professional house wash uses a different method called soft washing.
Unlike standard pressure washing, which can strip paint, break seals, and force water behind your siding, soft washing relies on specialized cleaning solutions rather than brute force.
We apply a biodegradable cleanser at a low pressure, about the same force as a garden hose. This solution lifts natural stains to be rinsed off and removed with water.

What a house wash costs
The price depends on three things. The instant price estimator asks about each one and shows a price range for your house.
- Square footage: larger homes require more solution and time.
- Story height: a 2-story or 3-story home may require different equipment than a ranch style.
- Severity of growth: heavy dirt and buildup may require multiple cleaning stages.

“Mikoda did an excellent job cleaning the vinyl siding on my house. It hadn't been done since we built over 30 years ago, and the results were fantastic. I would recommend this business highly.”
