Why Soft Washing Is the Best Way to Clean Your Minnesota Home’s Exterior

From algae-covered siding to dingy garage doors, exterior grime builds up fast in the Twin Cities. But when it comes time to clean it off, blasting it with high pressure isn’t always the answer. That’s where soft washing comes in — a safer, smarter way to restore your home’s exterior without the damage.

If you’ve been searching for soft washing services near me, here’s what you need to know about the benefits, the method, and why Red Eye Exterior Cleaning is the best choice across Minnesota.

What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses a biodegradable solution to break down dirt, algae, mildew, and oxidation at the root. Instead of using brute force like traditional pressure washing, it treats the buildup chemically — allowing for a gentler, longer-lasting clean.

It’s ideal for:

• Vinyl siding

• Painted wood

• Stucco

• Stone

• Soffits and trim

• Garage doors and porch ceilings

• Outdoor vinyl window panes (like Eze Breeze systems)

Why Pressure Washing Can Hurt Your Home

High pressure may work great on concrete, but on siding or painted surfaces it can cause major problems. These include:

• Water forced behind siding or trim

• Paint stripping or chipping

• Cracks in stucco or damage to sealant

• Broken window seals or dislodged vinyl panels

Soft washing avoids all of that by using low pressure — about the same as a garden hose — but delivers professional-grade results that last.

Why Soft Washing Is Better for Minnesota Homes

Minnesota’s humidity and precipitation create perfect conditions for algae, mold, and lichen growth. These not only look bad, but can damage materials over time. Soft washing stops it at the source and leaves your siding protected for the season ahead.

And because Red Eye Exterior Cleaning uses eco-friendly cleaning practices, your plants, pets, and nearby storm drains are all protected. I pre-rinse your landscaping and apply cleaning solution only where it’s needed, then rinse thoroughly to ensure nothing harmful remains.
