Pressure Washing Oak Ridge Tn

Vinyl siding is one of the most popular choices for homes in Oak Ridge due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and low maintenance. However, without regular care, it can become discolored by mold, mildew, algae, dirt, and other environmental contaminants. At JB Exterior Cleaning, we specialize in soft washing—an advanced, low-pressure cleaning technique that safely restores your siding to like-new condition without risking surface damage.
Why Soft Washing Matters
Unlike traditional high-pressure cleaning, soft washing uses a biodegradable cleaning solution and low-pressure rinse to break down dirt and kill organic growth at the root. This ensures a longer-lasting clean without causing damage to your siding. High pressure can force water behind the panels, leading to mold, rot, or insulation problems. Soft washing eliminates this risk.
In Oak Ridge’s humid climate, algae and mildew are common on shaded or north-facing walls. If left untreated, this buildup can deteriorate your siding and lower your property’s value. Soft washing helps maintain curb appeal and safeguards your investment.
Benefits:
- Protects siding from damage
- Kills mold, mildew, and algae at the source
- Extends the life of your home’s exterior
- Increases property value
- Environmentally safe cleaning agents
How Often Should You Soft Wash?
We recommend a professional soft wash every 1–2 years, depending on your home’s exposure to shade, moisture, and pollen. Homes near trees or wooded areas may require more frequent cleaning.
DIY Soft Washing Tips
- Use a garden sprayer to apply a solution of 70% water and 30% white vinegar to small mildew patches.
- Avoid using ladders with pressure equipment; instead, use extension poles with soft wash attachments.
- Always test cleaning solutions on a small, hidden area.
