Gentle on Surfaces. Tough on Grime. Proven to Last.

Looking for a better way to clean your home or business exterior? At First City Softwash, we specialize in professional soft washing services designed to safely and thoroughly remove dirt, mold, algae, and organic buildup—without the harsh impact of traditional pressure washing.
Our low-pressure, detergent-based method is perfect for delicate or painted surfaces and provides longer-lasting results. Whether you’re a homeowner or business owner in Pensacola, we deliver exterior cleaning with care, precision, and real results.
Soft washing is a safe, low-pressure cleaning method that uses specialized detergents and soft chemicals to kill and remove organic growth such as mold, algae, moss, and mildew at the source. Instead of blasting surfaces with high pressure, like pressure washing or power washing, soft pressure washing gently lifts buildup without damaging materials like siding, shingles, wood, or screens.
This method is ideal for exterior surfaces where you want a deep, effective clean without the risk of damage.
🠒 Learn the difference between soft washing, pressure washing, and power washing.
We evaluate each surface to ensure pressure washing is the right method—powerful enough to clean thoroughly, but safe for the material. Our multi-step approach includes pre-treatment, pressure cleaning, and post-treatment using targeted solutions that break down and eliminate organic growth at its source.
This professional process delivers a deeper, longer-lasting clean than DIY methods.
Soft washing is versatile, effective, and ideal for many parts of your home or business. Before we begin, our team will assess each surface to determine whether soft washing, pressure washing, or power washing is the safest and most effective method for the material and its condition. Below are just some of the scenarios where soft washing delivers exceptional results:

Our house washing service gently cleans siding, soffits, fascia, gutters, garage doors, windows, and trim. We eliminate algae, insect webs, mildew, and dirt, restoring your home’s shine without causing damage.

We use a manufacturer-approved softwash process to clean shingle and metal roofs without voiding your warranty. This treatment removes black streaks, moss, and algae while protecting the integrity of your roofing system.

First, we flush the inside of your gutters to remove leaves and debris. Then we apply our soft wash solution to the exterior to lift dark streaks and oxidation. The result? Gutters that work properly—and look great too.

Your pool area should feel like an oasis—not a cleaning project. Our soft washing service safely cleans concrete or paver pool decks and aluminum enclosures, removing organic buildup, grime, and discoloration without damaging surfaces or nearby landscaping. We protect your space before, during, and after treatment so you can enjoy it worry-free.
Our method removes grime and water spots without etching or scratching, letting more light in and leaving a spotless finish.

Screen enclosures and lanais can be tricky to clean, but not for us. We gently wash frames and screens, removing dust, mold, and pollen without tearing mesh or damaging finishes. You’ll breathe easier in a space that feels brand new.

High pressure can ruin wood and composite decks. Our deck soft wash treatment restores appearance while protecting the material. We remove grime, algae, and weather buildup—perfect for getting your outdoor space ready for gatherings.

We restore vinyl and wooden fencing with a gentle yet thorough softwash application. Dirt, algae, and mildew are no match for our process, which leaves your fence looking freshly installed.
Soft washing isn’t just about appearances—it’s about protecting your home while delivering long-term results. At First City Softwash, we follow a proven multi-step process that’s safe for your siding, roof, pool area, and other delicate exterior surfaces.
Before applying any treatment, we carefully rinse nearby landscaping, grass, and delicate plants to create a moisture barrier. This helps shield your property from potential chemical absorption and prevents damage during treatment.
We apply a low-pressure stream of our custom-blended softwash solution to the target surfaces. This solution penetrates deep into organic buildup like algae, mold, mildew, insect nests, and dirt—killing growth at the root instead of just blasting away what’s visible.
Once applied, we allow the solution to dwell and work its magic. After sufficient dwell time, we gently rinse the area to remove dead growth, streaks, and debris—revealing a cleaner, brighter surface underneath.
After the final rinse, we do a detailed walkaround to check for any areas needing spot treatment. Landscaping is rinsed again, and gutter runoff zones (if applicable) are flushed to ensure safe drainage. When we’re done, you’ll receive before-and-after photos so you can clearly see the transformation.
Note: If cleaning agents can’t be used due to environmental sensitivity or client request, we may adapt the softwash process by incorporating safe pressure (pressure washing) and/or heat (power washing) to aid in cleaning, but only if the surface allows for it. Every property is different, and we adjust our approach to deliver safe, effective results.
