Soft Washing in Staunton, VA.
Professional soft washing for Staunton homes and businesses. Voted the Valley's Favorite Cleaning Company seven years running, family-owned since 2012, headquartered in Staunton.
Soft Washing in Staunton, the Lambert way
Staunton's older homes and tree-canopy neighborhoods are exactly the conditions where algae and mildew thrive on siding. North-facing walls under heavy shade, vinyl that's gone from white to gray-green, stucco with that telltale dirt streak under the eaves - we see all of it on Staunton soft-wash jobs. Our solution-based method kills the growth at the root and lasts four to six times longer than a pressure wash, which is exactly what these older Staunton homes need.
About this service in Staunton

Common questions about soft washing in Staunton
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to physically blast soil off a surface. Soft washing uses a specialty cleaning solution at low pressure to chemically kill the biological growth at the root. Soft washing is the correct method for siding, stucco, screens, and shingle roofs. Pressure washing is appropriate for concrete driveways, walkways, and similar hard surfaces. We specialize in soft washing because it's what most of what a Valley home needs.
How long does soft washing last?
Four to six times longer than pressure washing on average. On most Valley homes, that translates to 3 to 5 years before you see meaningful regrowth - compared to 6 to 18 months for a pressure-wash-only treatment. The difference is that we kill the biology at the root.
Is soft washing safe for my plants?
Yes, with proper precautions. We pre-wet landscaping before applying the cleaning solution, and we rinse thoroughly afterward. The solution is designed to rinse away cleanly without lasting impact on normal landscaping. We take extra care with ornamentals near the house.
Can you soft wash a shingle roof?
Yes - that's exactly what our roof cleaning service is. Shingle roofs should never be pressure washed (it strips granules and shortens shingle life). Soft washing is the manufacturer-approved method for cleaning algae and black streaks off a shingle roof.
Do you serve Staunton regularly, or is this a one-off?
