Fence Cleaning
Professional Fence Cleaning with the Soft Washing Method
Over time, fences collect dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and green stains caused by moisture and shade. While many homeowners believe high-pressure washing is the best solution, using too much pressure can actually damage wood, strip stain, and shorten the life of your fence.
The soft washing method is the safest and most effective way to restore your fence’s appearance while protecting the wood.
At First Class Exterior Cleaning, LLC, we use professional soft washing equipment and specialized cleaning solutions to gently remove years of buildup without damaging your fence.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning process that uses biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely eliminate organic growth like algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria.
Instead of blasting surfaces with high pressure, soft washing:
• Breaks down organic stains at the root
• Kills algae and mildew spores
• Prevents stains from quickly returning
• Protects delicate wood surfaces
This method is recommended for wood fences, vinyl fences, and composite fencing materials.
Why High Pressure Washing Can Damage Your Fence
Many fences are damaged by inexperienced pressure washing using excessive PSI. High pressure can:
• Etch and splinter wood fibers
• Strip stain or protective coatings
• Causes premature wood deterioration
• Leave visible pressure marks
Soft washing cleans thoroughly without forcing water deep into the wood, helping your fence last longer.
