Soft Washing
Cedar, BC
Gentle, long-lasting soft washing for Cedar homes. Kills moss, algae, and mould at the root — safe for cedar siding, stucco, painted wood, and all exterior surfaces.
Soft Washing in Cedar, BC
Cedar's rural, forested setting creates persistently damp conditions that make home exteriors especially vulnerable to moss, algae, and black algae streaks. Soft washing is the safest and most effective cleaning method for the variety of surfaces found on Cedar properties — from cedar shake siding and cedar roofs to stucco and painted wood. Moss Bros. applies biodegradable solutions at low pressure that eliminate organic growth completely, with results that last far longer than standard pressure washing. We serve Cedar, Yellow Point, South Wellington, Cassidy, Ladysmith, and surrounding south Nanaimo communities.

Soft Washing Cedar — FAQ
Common questions about soft washing in Cedar, BC.
What is soft washing and why is it right for Cedar homes?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water with biodegradable solutions to kill moss, algae, mould, and mildew at the root. It's the ideal method for Cedar homes — especially properties with cedar siding, stucco, or large painted wood surfaces — where high-pressure washing would cause damage.
Is soft washing safe for cedar siding?
Yes. We use solutions specifically safe for cedar and adjust application pressure to prevent grain raise or surface damage. Cedar siding is porous and absorbs moisture easily, so the correct low-pressure method is essential for a safe and effective clean.
How long do soft washing results last in Cedar?
In Cedar's heavily forested environment, surfaces typically stay cleaner for 1–2 years after a professional soft wash with preventive treatment. Without treatment, biological growth returns much faster due to constant organic material falling from surrounding trees.
Can soft washing remove the black streaks on my siding?
Yes. Black streaks on siding are caused by Gloeocapsa magma — a type of algae. Soft washing with the appropriate biodegradable solution dissolves and removes these streaks completely, restoring your siding to its original appearance.
Are you insured for soft washing in Cedar?
Yes. Moss Bros. carries full liability insurance on every soft washing job throughout Cedar and Vancouver Island.
