Green Siding and Dark Streaks Do Not Have to Stay
Shaded and north-facing areas of a home often collect green algae, mildew, dirt, and organic buildup faster because those surfaces receive less sunlight and remain damp longer.
Instead of relying on aggressive pressure, Ohio Power Washing applies a professional cleaning solution that loosens exterior contamination. The siding is then carefully rinsed with low pressure for a cleaner, more even result.
- Green algae growth
- Black mold-like staining
- Mildew and organic buildup
- Dirt and air pollution
- Cobwebs and insect debris
- Weather-related discoloration

Powerful Cleaning Without Unnecessary Pressure
Every home is evaluated so the cleaning method can be adjusted for its siding material, condition, landscaping, and level of buildup.
Inspect the Exterior
We identify siding materials, heavy growth, delicate surfaces, open windows, and areas requiring special attention.
Prepare the Property
Nearby landscaping and exterior features are considered while the home is prepared for professional cleaning.
Apply Soft-Wash Solution
A properly selected house-washing solution loosens algae, mildew, dirt, grime, and organic contamination.
Low-Pressure Rinse
The exterior is thoroughly rinsed with controlled pressure before the completed work receives a final review.
Professional Soft Washing
Soft washing relies on an appropriate cleaning solution and controlled rinsing rather than force alone.
- Targets algae, mildew, dirt, and grime
- Uses low pressure on siding surfaces
- Reaches upper portions of the home
- Helps provide more even results
- Selected for the siding material
Why We Avoid Excessive Pressure
Using too much pressure on a home can create avoidable risks and does not address organic contamination as effectively as the proper cleaning process.
- Can force water behind siding
- May damage paint or surface finishes
- Can mark softer exterior materials
- May leave uneven cleaning lines
- Is not the right method for every surface
Professional exterior cleaning
We Clean More Than Vinyl Siding
Homes throughout Central Ohio combine different materials, finishes, trim, and architectural features. Those surfaces do not all respond the same way to pressure or cleaning solutions.
We inspect the exterior and choose an appropriate process for the material. Heavily oxidized siding, damaged paint, permanent stains, and pre-existing deterioration may require special expectations or separate treatment.
- Vinyl siding
- Aluminum siding
- Hardie board
- Painted wood and cedar
- Brick and stone
- Stucco surfaces
Improve the Look of Your Entire Property
House washing refreshes the surfaces homeowners and visitors notice first—from siding and trim to the front entrance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is soft washing?
Soft washing uses professional cleaning solutions and controlled low-pressure rinsing to remove exterior dirt and organic growth. It relies less on force than conventional high-pressure washing.
Can you remove green algae from vinyl siding?
Yes. Green algae and mildew-like growth are common reasons homeowners schedule house washing. Results depend on the surface condition, oxidation, staining, and type of buildup.
What siding materials can you clean?
We clean many residential materials, including vinyl, aluminum, Hardie board, painted wood, cedar, brick, stone, and stucco. The process is adjusted for the material and condition.
Will house washing remove oxidation from siding?
Ordinary soft washing removes dirt and organic growth, but it may reveal existing oxidation or fading. Oxidation removal is a separate specialty process and is not always appropriate for every surface.
Do I need to prepare my home before service?
Close windows and doors, remove fragile decorations, secure pets, and tell us about known leaks, damaged siding, exterior outlets, cameras, or other sensitive features. We can provide project-specific preparation instructions.
Where do you provide house-washing services?
Ohio Power Washing serves Columbus and communities throughout Franklin, Delaware, Fairfield, Fayette, Licking, Madison, Pickaway, and Union counties.
