Some surfaces should never meet a pressure washer. Roofs, siding, cedar, stucco. Soft washing cleans them all with low pressure and smart chemistry instead of brute force. Mr-Suds brings this safer method to homes across Newington, licensed, insured, and owner-operated.
Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low water pressure combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove algae, mold, mildew, and grime from exterior surfaces. Instead of blasting dirt off, the solution dissolves growth at the root, and a gentle rinse carries it away.
Think of it this way. Pressure washing is a chisel. Soft washing is a solvent. On concrete, the chisel is fine. On your roof or siding, you want the solvent.
The pressure involved is closer to a garden hose than a power washer. That is what makes it safe for surfaces that high pressure would crack, strip, or gouge.
Here is something we explain in almost every quote. When algae gets blasted with high pressure, the visible layer disappears but the roots and spores stay embedded in the surface. Two or three months later, the green film is back.
Soft washing works differently. The cleaning solution penetrates and kills the growth at its source, spores included.
The result is a clean that lasts noticeably longer. Customers who switch from yearly pressure blasting to soft washing usually stretch their cleaning cycle out, and the surface ages better too.
So if you have washed the same green wall twice in two years, the method was the problem. Not the wall.
Shingle manufacturers are blunt about this: high pressure tears granules off asphalt shingles and can void your warranty. Black streaks and moss need soft washing, full stop. See our roof cleaning service in Newington.
High pressure cracks vinyl and pushes water behind panels, where mold grows unseen. Soft washing cleans the surface fully with zero panel stress. For whole-home jobs, start with our house washing service.
Soft woods fur and splinter under pressure, and paint lifts. Low pressure with the right detergent cleans without a single raised grain.
Porous and brittle at the surface, stucco crumbles under a strong jet. The soft wash solution soaks in, breaks down grime, and rinses clean.
Vinyl fence panels warp, and screens tear. Both come back to life with a careful soft wash. More on our fence cleaning page.

It is in our name and on our homepage. Power washing and soft washing are the two things we do all day.
Roman decides the pressure and mix per surface. No one-size-fits-all crew settings.
Protection in writing before we start.
As one customer put it: “Roman provides high quality service and is detail oriented.”
Killing growth at the root means you call us less often. We are fine with that.
Biodegradable chemistry, pre-wet landscaping, full rinse after. Safe for kids, pets, and plants.
We soft wash homes throughout Newington, including Maple Hill, Newington Junction, and the neighborhoods around Cedar Mountain and Mill Pond Park. Newington’s mature tree cover keeps many houses shaded, and shade is exactly where algae thrives, which is why soft washing is such a good fit here.
We also serve Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, Berlin, and West Hartford.

Soft washing is cleaning a home’s exterior with low water pressure and biodegradable cleaning solutions instead of high-pressure blasting. The solution kills algae, mold, and mildew at the root, then rinses away, making it safe for siding, roofs, and delicate surfaces.
Typically two to four times longer than pressure washing alone. Because the growth is killed at the root rather than knocked off the surface, regrowth takes much longer to establish.
We use professional-grade, biodegradable solutions designed for exterior cleaning. Plants are pre-wet and covered before application and rinsed after. The process is safe for families, pets, and landscaping when handled properly.
Yes, it is the only method shingle manufacturers consider safe. High pressure strips shingle granules and can void your warranty. Soft washing removes black streaks and moss without touching the shingle surface aggressively.
The per-visit price is similar for most homes. Because results last longer, the cost over several years is usually lower with soft washing.
Every one to two years for most Newington homes. Heavily shaded properties may benefit from the shorter end of that range.
