Exterior House Washing in Hervey Bay (2025 Guide): Soft-Wash vs Pressure-Wash, Costs, and When to Book

29 May

Written By Corey G

Why soft-wash beats DIY blasting in Hervey Bay

Safer for surfaces: Soft-wash uses low pressure plus eco detergents to lift mould, algae and salt film without damaging paint, timber or mortar.
Better results on QLD grime: Soft-wash kills at the root, so results last longer than water-only blasting.
Faster quotes, less hassle: Send clear photos + brief site notes for a written quote in 24 hours.
Great for seniors: No ladders, no risk. We handle all heights—before/after photos included.

What we clean (and how)

1) House washing (soft-wash first)

Best for: Painted exteriors, cladding, render, weatherboards, fences, pergolas
Method: Pre-rinse → detergent dwell → gentle rinse → detail brush on trims/windows
Outcome: Streak-free, no blown paint, no plant damage

2) Driveways, paths & pavers

Best for: Concrete, stencil, exposed aggregate, pavers
Method: Pre-treat organics → controlled surface cleaner → edge/spot stains → (optional) sealing

3) Roof, gutters & solar panels

Roof/gutters: Debris removal, gentle wash, safe ladder stabiliser
Solar: Soft wash + deionised rinse (no harsh abrasives)

4) Paver restoration & pool-area sealing

Travertine/stone: Clean → penetrating seal → optional anti-slip
Result: Natural look, safer underfoot, easier maintenance

Local know-how: Cleaning for Hervey Bay conditions

Coastal salts: Salt film builds up near Scarness, Torquay, Urangan. Soft-wash neutralises for lasting shine.
Storms/humidity: Peak mould/algae season—book before or after rains.
Bore/tank water: We adjust detergents to prevent mineral spots.

FAQs

Will high pressure damage my house?
Yes, on paint/render/timber. We soft-wash first; pressure is for concrete only.
Will sealing make pavers slippery?
No. Penetrating sealers don’t form a plastic film. For pools, we add a clear anti-slip coating (P4–P5 wet/barefoot rating).
How long do results last?
Soft-wash: 6–18 months (depends on shade/sea spray).
Sealed pavers: 2–4 years (top-up); anti-slip coats: 12–24+ months.
Eco-friendly detergents?
Yes—biodegradable, with controlled dwell times and full garden/pet pre-rinse.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, if you send clear shots with estimated sizes—written quote in 24 hours.
