Why choose Softwash?
A cheaper quote can look appealing, but there's usually a reason it's cheaper. In many cases, it's a fast surface wash that removes visible staining without properly treating the mould and organic growth beneath it.
The result? It looks clean today, but doesn't stay clean for long.
We do the job properly the first time, delivering a deeper clean and longer-lasting results.

Why Soft Washing Is Better Than High-Pressure Cleaning
While high-pressure cleaning can remove surface dirt quickly, it isn't always the best choice for painted homes or delicate cladding.
Soft washing uses specialised cleaning solutions and low-pressure application to treat mould, algae, mildew, and organic growth at the source, helping your home stay cleaner for longer while reducing the risk of surface damage.
We'll recommend the most appropriate cleaning method based on your home's materials and condition.

This large Tamahere lifestyle property received a full exterior treatment, including a house wash, roof treatment, and fly & spider spray. Our team removed grime and environmental buildup from the home's exterior, treated the roof for moss, lichen and algae growth, and applied a comprehensive pest treatment around the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house washing cost in Hamilton?
The cost depends on the size of your home, the type of exterior cladding, access requirements and the amount of mould or dirt buildup. Most homeowners can receive an accurate quote after a quick site visit or by sending photos of the property.
How often should I have my house washed in Waikato?
Most Waikato homes benefit from professional house washing every 12–24 months. Homes surrounded by trees, exposed to moisture, or located in rural areas may require more frequent cleaning due to mould, lichen and dirt buildup.
Is soft washing safe for my home's exterior?
Yes. Soft washing uses low-pressure application methods combined with specialised cleaning solutions to remove mould, algae and grime without damaging paintwork, weatherboards, plaster or modern cladding systems.
What's the difference between soft washing and water blasting?
Water blasting relies on high pressure to remove dirt, while soft washing uses specialised cleaning treatments and low pressure. For most homes, soft washing is the safer and more effective option because it kills mould and algae rather than simply removing surface staining.
How long does house washing take?
Most residential house washing projects in Hamilton can be completed within a few hours. Larger homes, multi-storey properties or homes with significant mould buildup may take longer.
Will house washing remove mould and spider webs?
Yes. Professional house washing removes mould, mildew, cobwebs, dirt and environmental staining from exterior surfaces. Soft washing treatments also help slow the return of mould growth.
Do you service rural properties and lifestyle blocks?
Yes. Softwash provides house washing services throughout Hamilton and the wider Waikato region, including lifestyle properties, rural homes and farmhouses.
Do I need to be home during the house wash?
Not usually. As long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and any required water connections, many homeowners choose to carry on with their day while the work is completed.
Will house washing increase the value of my property?
A professionally cleaned exterior can dramatically improve street appeal and first impressions. Many homeowners arrange house washing before selling, renting or hosting property inspections because it instantly improves the appearance of the home.
Why do Waikato homes get mould so quickly?
Waikato's climate, combined with shade from trees, regular rainfall and humidity, creates ideal conditions for mould, algae and lichen growth. Regular house washing helps protect exterior surfaces and keeps your home looking its best year-round.
