Soft power washing is conducted using modified cleaning equipment that is lower in PSI (pounds per square inch) than the average power washing machine. This allows our professionals to use special cleaning solutions to safely and easily remove dirt and bacteria living on the surface of your home’s exterior. Not only does soft power washing restore the look of your home, but it kills and prevents the short-term growth of mildew, algae, and other forms of bacteria.

​The products developed for Slacks Suds not only clean stains but also sanitize, penetrate, and eliminate the root of the issue.
The main culprit of most roof staining that causes prevalent black streaks is a bacteria called Gloeocapsa Magma.
Soft washing has the ability to kill the pest from the root up, achieving a truly clean surface.

The Science

Gloeocapsa Magma is the true culprit that causes black streaks on roofs and surfaces. Other forms of microorganisms can be found in union with the bacteria, including mold, fungi, algae, mildew, lichen, and moss. Many of the organisms that grow on a roof, including mildew, algae, bacteria, moss, lichen, and fungi, copulate in the warm, moist environment created by the roof itself.
Plus, many roofing surfaces are made with materials that can be metabolized by these microorganisms, such as shingles that now contain limestone that algae, mildew, and bacteria will absorb their nutrients and feed off the shingles.
