Professional Soft Washing in Coffs Harbour
Safe, low-pressure cleaning for delicate exteriors — paint, render, weatherboard, brick, and roof tiles. Biodegradable mould treatment that kills the spores instead of just rinsing the surface.
Why Soft Washing Matters on the Coffs Coast
The Coffs Coast's subtropical climate — humidity averaging 70–80% and average temperatures 18–27°C — creates near-perfect conditions for mould, algae, and lichen growth on every exterior surface. Black streaking on render and eaves, green mould on south-facing weatherboard, and lichen patches on tile roofs are almost universal complaints in suburbs from Woolgoolga to Nambucca Heads. The problem with high-pressure cleaning these surfaces is that it only blasts off the visible growth — the spores remain in the porous substrate and regrow quickly. Soft washing applies a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills mould at the spore level, then rinses gently at controlled low pressure. Done correctly, soft washing is the only safe method for any painted, rendered, or coated exterior on the Coffs Coast — and the only treatment that actually holds up.
- Kills mould and algae at the root — they don't grow straight back the way they do after a high-pressure-only clean
- Safe for paint, render, fibre cement, weatherboard, Colorbond cladding, brick, and roof tiles
- Biodegradable solutions — safe for gardens, pets, and the Coffs Coast waterways
- Treats the heavy organic growth driven by 70–80% year-round humidity
- Fixes black streaking on eaves, fascia, and gutters that pressure cleaning can't safely touch
- Servicing homes in Sawtell, Woolgoolga, Sapphire Beach, Bellingen, and surrounds
What We Clean
Specialised techniques for every surface and situation.
House Washing — Render & Weatherboard
Low-pressure soft wash for painted weatherboard, render, fibre cement, and Colorbond cladding. Biodegradable solutions kill mould and algae at the root without damaging paint, trim, or sealants.
Roof Soft Washing
Gentle but effective roof cleaning for tile, Colorbond, and cement-tile roofs. Low-pressure application removes lichen, moss, and algae without dislodging tiles or eroding factory coatings.
Brick & Masonry Soft Wash
Render, sandstock brick, and rendered block treated with mould-killing solutions and rinsed at controlled pressure — preserves mortar joints and existing sealants.
Eaves, Gutters & Fascia
Black mould streaking on eaves and fascia is a classic Coffs Coast problem. We treat it at the source with biodegradable solutions, not just rinse the surface.
Driveway & Path Mould Treatment
Some surfaces hold organic growth that pressure alone reactivates within weeks. Soft wash treatment at the spore level prevents regrowth for 12+ months.
Commercial & Strata Soft Wash
Body corporate building exteriors, strata common areas, and commercial buildings cleaned without disrupting tenants. Scheduled maintenance plans available.

Frequently Asked Questions
Soft washing uses low-pressure water (under 500 PSI) combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces — painted weatherboard, render, Colorbond cladding, fibre cement, brick, and roof tiles. Pressure cleaning uses high pressure (2,000–4,000 PSI) that's only safe on hard surfaces like concrete and pavers. Soft washing kills mould and algae at the spore level so it doesn't grow straight back, which matters in the humid Coffs Coast climate.
No — that's the whole point. Pressure cleaning a painted weatherboard or rendered surface can blast paint flakes off, force water behind cladding, and erode soft render. Soft washing applies the cleaning solution at low pressure, lets it dwell, then rinses gently. Done correctly, it's the safest method for any delicate or coated surface, including tile and Colorbond roofs where high pressure can dislodge tiles or strip factory coatings.
Yes. We use only biodegradable cleaning solutions designed for soft washing — they break down naturally and won't harm gardens, lawns, pets, or run-off into Coffs Coast waterways. We also wet down surrounding garden beds before treatment as standard practice. This is one of the main reasons soft washing is the right method for residential properties: it gets a deep clean without the environmental hit of harsh industrial chemicals.
