What is soft washing and how is it different from pressure cleaning?
Soft washing uses low pressure combined with the right cleaning method to safely clean surfaces that high pressure could damage. It's the preferred approach for exterior house walls, painted render, and other delicate finishes. High-pressure cleaning blasts grime off hard surfaces; soft washing gently lifts mould, dirt and organic growth without forcing water behind cladding or stripping paint.
How does soft washing pricing work?
Soft washing is quoted up front based on the size of the home or area and the level of build-up. We don't charge until you've approved a clear, written quote. The easiest way to get a price is a free quote — we'll assess the property and explain exactly what's included so there are no surprises.
Which parts of my home suit soft washing?
Soft washing is ideal for exterior house cleaning — render, weatherboard, cladding, eaves, gutters' exteriors and other painted or delicate surfaces. It restores curb appeal by removing the green and grey film that builds up over time, without the risk that high pressure can pose to those finishes.
Do you service my suburb for soft washing?
Yes — Dirty Squirty covers Brisbane, Bulimba and the wider South East Queensland region, including the Gold Coast. When you request a quote we'll confirm your address is within our service area and arrange a convenient time.
How long does a soft wash take?
Most home exteriors are completed within a single visit. The exact time depends on the size of the property and the amount of build-up. We'll give you a time estimate and likely completion date when we quote, and we keep you informed if anything changes.
Is soft washing safe for plants and gardens?
We work with care around gardens, plants and surrounding areas, and take sensible steps to protect them during the job. If you have particular plants or features you'd like us to be mindful of, just let us know when we walk the site and we'll plan the clean around them.
