Soft Washing Services in Central Arkansas | American Services AR

60%longer roof life with regular soft washing (ARMA)

100xgentler than pressure washing — zero surface damage

6–12 moresults last with a single treatment

Since 2010Serving Central AR

⚠ Pressure Washing Roofs Voids Warranties: Most shingle manufacturers (including CertainTeed and GAF) void roof warranties if high-pressure washing is used. Soft washing is the only manufacturer-approved method.

Soft washing uses low pressure (under 100 PSI) combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely clean roofs, siding, stucco, and painted surfaces that high-pressure washing would damage. Unlike pressure washing, soft washing kills organic growth — mold, algae, mildew, and lichen — at the root level rather than simply blasting it off the surface. American Services AR brings professional soft washing to Conway and all of Central Arkansas.

Soft washing is the right choice when: Surface is a roof, painted wood, stucco, EIFS, vinyl siding, screened porch, or any surface where high pressure could cause damage or force water behind cladding.

Our Soft Washing Process

Surface Assessment

Identify material type, growth severity, and any pre-existing damage before selecting chemical concentration.

Solution Application

Low-pressure application of SH-based biodegradable cleaner that kills algae, mold, mildew, and lichen at the root.

Dwell Time

Solution dwells 10–20 minutes, breaking down organic growth completely without scrubbing.

Low-Pressure Rinse

Frequently Asked Questions — Soft Washing

What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

Pressure washing uses 1,500–4,000 PSI of water force to blast away dirt. Soft washing uses under 100 PSI — the pressure of a garden hose — combined with a cleaning solution that kills organic growth chemically. Soft washing is required for roofs, painted surfaces, stucco, and vinyl siding.

Is soft washing safe for my landscaping?

Yes. We pre-wet all plants and landscaping around the work area before applying solution, and rinse thoroughly afterward. The cleaning agents are diluted to safe concentrations and biodegradable.

How long do soft washing results last?

On roofs, results typically last 2–5 years depending on tree cover and shade. On siding and stucco, expect 1–3 years before significant regrowth. North-facing or heavily shaded surfaces may need more frequent treatment.

Will soft washing remove black streaks from my roof?

Yes. Black streaks on roofs are caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a bacteria that feeds on limestone in shingles. Soft washing kills it completely — streaks disappear within days of treatment as the dead bacteria wash off in rain.

Do you offer soft washing for commercial buildings?

Yes. We soft wash commercial siding, storefronts, stucco facades, and low-slope roofing membranes throughout Central Arkansas. Contact us for a commercial quote.

Is soft washing the same as house washing?

Soft washing IS the method we use for house washing on most surfaces. The terms are often used interchangeably. When we say house washing, soft washing is typically what’s performed — it’s safer and more effective than high-pressure on vinyl, wood, and painted surfaces.
