House soft washing in Clermont, FL

Most Clermont homes are stucco or painted block, with some vinyl or fiber cement siding. All of them grow the same things in this climate: black and green mildew on the north and shaded walls, algae under the eaves, dirt and spider webs in the soffits and rust stains low on the walls where sprinklers hit.

A high-pressure wand is the wrong tool for any of it. It can etch stucco, lift paint, force water behind siding and into window frames, and it only knocks the surface growth off, so it comes back fast. A soft wash uses low pressure and a cleaning solution that kills mildew and algae at the root, then rinses it away gently.

House washing in Clermont during the water shortage order

While the St. Johns River Water Management District's Phase III water shortage order (order 2026-017) is in effect in Clermont, pressure or soft washing a building or other structure is allowed in preparation for painting or sealing, or as a construction practice. A wash ahead of a repaint, a coating or a stain qualifies; a purely cosmetic wash does not. We tell you up front which side of that line your job falls on, and if it can't be done yet, we can schedule it for when the order is lifted. The full text is in the district's order.

For a Clermont house, that means the most common reason to soft wash right now is repaint prep. Paint does not bond well to a mildewed or chalky wall, and painters wash first for that reason. If you are planning a repaint or an exterior coating, we can wash the house ahead of the painter. If you only want it cleaner, we can book the wash for when the order lifts.

What a Clermont house soft wash covers

• Walls: stucco, painted block, vinyl and fiber cement siding.
• Soffits and fascia: webs, mud dauber nests, dirt and mildew under the eaves.
• Gutters: the outside face, where black streaks build up.
• Trim, shutters and garage door: washed with the walls.
• Entry and front porch: ceilings, columns and lights.
• Rust stains: treated separately with a rust remover where sprinklers have hit the wall.

Windows get rinsed as part of the wash, but a house wash is not window cleaning, and some spotting can remain on glass.

Protecting plants and screens on Clermont homes

Soft-wash solution is strong enough to kill mildew, so landscaping is protected on every job. We pre-wet beds and lawn along the house, cover delicate plants where needed, keep the solution off foliage and rinse everything thoroughly after. Outlets, light fixtures and doorbells are kept dry where possible.

Many Clermont homes have a screen enclosure built against the back wall. We work carefully around the screens and frame, and if the enclosure itself needs cleaning, see fence and screen enclosure cleaning.

House soft washing prices in Clermont

Two-story homes and homes on steep Clermont lots take more setup. Send your address and choose "House soft wash", or call for today's price. Adding the driveway to the same visit is the usual pairing before a repaint.
