The Brief
Everything worth knowing.
Straight answers, no fluff. Read what applies to your home — skip what doesn't.
Why soft washing beats pressure washing on Brisbane homes
High-pressure water on painted render cracks the paint film, drives moisture behind weatherboard joints and strips sealant around windows and eaves. Soft washing uses garden-hose level pressure combined with a professional biocide that dwells on the surface and kills mould, algae and lichen at the root. It's the method every reputable exterior cleaner in Brisbane uses on painted and rendered homes, because it actually solves the regrowth problem instead of just blasting off what's visible.
Built for Brisbane's climate and building materials
South-facing walls that never see direct sun, homes under tree cover in the western hills or seaside suburbs, and weatherboard cottages in Paddington and Annerley all carry the same pattern — black mould and green algae creeping up from ground level through Brisbane's humid summers. We treat render, Hardie fibre cement, timber weatherboard, brick, Colorbond and Zincalume cladding, adjusting dilution and dwell time for each surface so nothing gets stripped or bleached.
What's included in a full house wash
A full exterior clean covers all elevations, eaves, fascias, window frames and sills, plus a rinse-down of your gutters and window glass so the finish actually looks finished. We pre-wet and protect garden beds, lawn and any exposed metal or timber features, apply the soft wash solution, let it dwell, then rinse thoroughly before we pack up. Driveways and paths get a check-over so overspray doesn't sit on concrete or pavers.
Plant and garden protection
Sodium hypochlorite-based solutions will burn foliage if they're left to sit, so we soak garden beds, cover sensitive plants with tarps, and time our rinse to keep runoff away from root zones. If you've got a veggie patch, natives or anything under the drip line of the house, flag it when you book and we'll plan the wash around it.
Before and after photos with every job
We photograph each elevation before we start and again once the wash is done and dry, so you've got a record of the result — not just our word for it. Handy for Owners Corp reports, real estate campaign prep and simply knowing what you paid for.
Fully insured, no shortcuts on safety
We carry public liability insurance and follow safe work practices on ladders, roofs and second-storey elevations. Two-storey homes, steep blocks and properties with pool fencing or retaining walls close to the house are all things we plan for before quoting, not problems we discover on the day. Certificate of currency available on request.
How often you actually need it
Most Brisbane homes need a soft wash every 12 to 24 months. Shaded, south-facing or tree-lined properties with more moisture and less direct sun trend to the shorter end; exposed, sunny blocks can often stretch past two years before mould and algae build back up.
Areas we service across Greater Brisbane
We work right across Brisbane — inner suburbs like New Farm, West End and Annerley, seaside from Hamilton to Springwood, the eastern suburbs through Carindale and Kenmore to the western hills, and the west from Milton out to Ipswich and Forest Lake. If you're within Greater Brisbane, we can get to you.
Getting a price
House washing is quoted per job based on the size of your home, number of storeys and how much biological growth needs treating — not a flat rate, because a single-storey brick veneer and a two-storey weatherboard with heavy mould take very different amounts of time and solution. Send a few photos and we'll come back with a firm price.

House Washing FAQ
Answers before you ask.
Is soft washing safe for painted weatherboard and render?+
Yes — that's exactly what it's designed for. The low pressure and correct chemical dilution lift dirt and kill mould without cracking paint or forcing water behind cladding, which is the main risk with high-pressure washing on these surfaces.
Will the chemicals damage my garden or lawn?+
Not if it's handled properly. We pre-wet and cover garden beds and sensitive plants before we start, and rinse thoroughly so runoff doesn't sit on foliage or root zones.
How long does a house wash take?+
A standard single-storey home usually takes two to three hours including setup, application, dwell time and rinsing. Larger or two-storey homes with heavier mould can take half a day.
Do you clean gutters and windows as part of the wash?+
We rinse the outside of your gutter line and window glass as standard with every full house wash, so the finish looks even across the whole exterior. Full internal gutter clear-outs are a separate job if your gutters are full of leaf litter.
How long does the result last?+
Because soft washing kills mould and algae at the root rather than just knocking off the visible growth, results typically last 12 to 24 months depending on how shaded and exposed your home is.
Do you provide before and after photos?+
Yes, every job comes with photos of each elevation before we start and again once it's finished and dry.
What suburbs do you cover?+
All of Greater Brisbane — inner city, seaside, eastern suburbs, western suburbs and the outer fringe including the western hills and Redcliffe Peninsula. If you're not sure we cover your area, just ask when you get a quote.
