What is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is the gold standard for exterior cleaning that your competitors don't want you to know about. This revolutionary cleaning method uses low-pressure water (under 500 PSI) combined with cleaning solutions to eliminate dirt, grime, algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria from your home or business exterior. Unlike brutal pressure washing that blasts surfaces with up to 4,000 PSI and often causes irreversible damage, soft washing works smarter, not harder.
Here's what separates professional soft washing from everything else: the cleaning solutions do the heavy lifting, not the water pressure. Our specialized detergents penetrate deep into porous surfaces like stucco, brick, limestone, and siding to kill organic growth at the root level. This means your property stays cleaner 4-6 times longer than traditional pressure washing methods. When other companies are power washing the same surfaces every few months, our soft washing clients enjoy spotless exteriors for years.
The science behind soft washing is simple but powerful. We apply our solutions using specialized equipment that break down contaminants on a molecular level, then rinse everything away with gentle water pressure that won't damage paint, wood, limestone facades, or delicate architectural features. This process doesn't just clean – it sanitizes and protects your property investment. From luxury homes with limestone accents in Bee Cave to commercial retail buildings with limestone exteriors in Austin, soft washing delivers results that last while keeping your surfaces intact and your warranty valid.
Our Soft Washing Services
At 3rd Coast Outdoor Pros, we don't just clean surfaces – we restore them. Our comprehensive soft washing services are designed to tackle every exterior cleaning challenge your home or business faces, using proven industry-standard cleaning solutions that deliver exceptional results without the risk of damage from high-pressure methods.
House Washing & Siding Cleaning - Whether your home features vinyl, Hardie Board, wood, or composite siding, our soft washing process removes years of accumulated dirt, algae, and organic stains. We safely clean painted surfaces, trim work, and shutters while protecting your landscaping and outdoor fixtures. From ranch-style homes in Helotes to modern builds in Stone Oak, we restore your home's original beauty and curb appeal.
Limestone & Stone Cleaning - Texas limestone requires special care to maintain its natural beauty without causing etching or damage. Our soft washing technique is perfect for limestone facades, retaining walls, and decorative stonework common throughout the Hill Country. We've successfully cleaned limestone exteriors on everything from historic buildings in San Marcos to luxury commercial developments in Austin, removing black streaks and organic growth while preserving the stone's integrity.
Brick & Masonry Soft Washing - Brick surfaces accumulate dirt, efflorescence, and organic growth over time, especially in our humid Texas climate. Our soft washing process penetrates deep into brick pores to remove contaminants without the mortar damage that high-pressure washing often causes. Commercial buildings in New Braunfels and residential properties in Timberwood Park benefit from our specialized brick cleaning expertise.
Wood & Deck Cleaning - Wooden surfaces like cedar siding, fences, and outdoor structures require gentle cleaning to avoid splintering or gouging. Our soft washing approach removes mildew, algae, and surface stains while preparing wood for staining or sealing. This service is particularly popular with homeowners in Shavano Park and Hollywood Park who want to maintain their property's natural wood features.

Why Choose Professional Soft Washing
The difference between amateur cleaning and professional soft washing isn't just visible – it's measurable in years of extended surface life and thousands of dollars in prevented damage. When you choose 3rd Coast Outdoor Pros for your home or business exterior cleaning, you're investing in expertise that protects your property value while delivering results that last.
Surface Protection & Damage Prevention - DIY pressure washing and inexperienced contractors cause millions of dollars in property damage every year across Texas. High-pressure washing can force water behind siding, strip paint, etch limestone, damage mortar joints, and destroy landscaping. Our professional soft washing eliminates these risks entirely. We use the correct cleaning solutions at proper dilution rates, applied with precision equipment that ensures your surfaces are cleaned safely. This expertise is especially critical for the limestone facades and delicate architectural details common in our Hill Country service area.
Superior & Long-Lasting Results - Here's what separates professional soft washing from everything else: our cleaning solutions kill organic growth at the source rather than just blasting it off the surface. This means algae, mold, and mildew are eliminated at the root level, preventing rapid regrowth. While pressure washing might make surfaces look clean temporarily, soft washing keeps them clean 4-6 times longer. Commercial property managers throughout Austin and San Antonio choose our services because they reduce maintenance frequency and costs significantly.
Insurance Protection & Liability Coverage - Professional soft washing companies carry comprehensive insurance and understand liability issues that most property owners never consider. When you hire 3rd Coast Outdoor Pros, you're protected by our insurance coverage, and our technicians are trained in safety protocols that prevent accidents and property damage. This protection is especially important for multi-story homes and commercial buildings where inexperienced cleaning can result in serious injury or costly mistakes.
Specialized Equipment & Solutions - Professional soft washing requires specific equipment, proper chemical knowledge, and application techniques that aren't available to general consumers. Our industrial-grade proportioning systems, specialized nozzles, and professional-grade sodium hypochlorite solutions deliver consistent results that DIY methods simply cannot match. We invest in the best equipment and ongoing training to ensure every project meets our exacting standards.
