Soft Washing Services in Central Arkansas

Pressure isn’t always the answer. Some surfaces — roof shingles, painted siding, stucco, wood, EIFS — can be permanently damaged by high-pressure washing. American Services AR uses soft washing: low-pressure application of professional-grade, biodegradable cleaning solutions that kill algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria at the root and rinse away safely. If your home or building is stained green, black, or dingy, soft washing is the right tool for the job.

Common Soft Washing Problems in Central Arkansas

Central Arkansas’s humid subtropical climate is a breeding ground for Gloeocapsa magma — the cyanobacteria responsible for those dark black streaks on roofs and siding. Our wet spring and summer seasons make algae, mold, and mildew growth nearly inevitable on exterior surfaces that go years without cleaning. Left untreated, these organisms eat into shingle granules, degrade wood fibers, and cause premature deterioration. Regular soft washing every 1-2 years extends the life of your roof and siding significantly.

Soft Washing FAQ

Will soft washing kill my plants?

When applied by a trained professional who pre-wets landscaping and rinses thoroughly after treatment, soft washing solutions are safe for plants. We take precautions on every job to protect your landscaping.

How often should I have my home soft washed?

In Central Arkansas’s humid climate, most homes benefit from soft washing every 1-2 years. Shaded properties or those surrounded by trees may need annual treatment.

Is soft washing the same as power washing?

No. Power washing uses high pressure to remove dirt mechanically. Soft washing uses low pressure and professional cleaning chemistry to kill and remove biological growth. Soft washing is safer for roofs, painted surfaces, and delicate materials, and the results last longer because it addresses the root cause of staining.

Will soft washing remove black streaks from my roof?

Yes. Black streaks are caused by Gloeocapsa magma, a cyanobacteria. Our soft wash solution kills the organism at the root, and the streaks wash away with the rinse. Results are visible immediately and last 2-4 years.
