House washing in McCordsville
Field dust and mildew off newer vinyl siding, at low pressure.
Many McCordsville neighborhoods sit next to open fields, and the wind off those fields leaves a dusty film on siding. Add a few humid summers and that film turns into mildew, usually gray on the sunny sides and green on the north side.
Most of these homes are vinyl, which is easy to damage with a pressure washer: the water gets pushed up behind the laps and stays there. We soft wash instead, letting a cleaning solution do the work and rinsing it off at low pressure.
House soft wash in McCordsville: what we see
- Homes on the edge of a subdivision, next to a field, tend to collect the most dust.
- Light-colored vinyl shows the gray film first, often within a few years of the house being built.
- The house and the windows are often done together, since both collect the same dust.

How we do it
- Walk the house with you and point out anything loose, cracked or already damaged
- Soak plants and beds with water, and cover outdoor outlets and light fixtures
- Apply the cleaning solution at low pressure, working from the bottom up
- Give it a few minutes to break down the growth
- Rinse the house from the top down, then rinse the plants again
Soft washing removes growth and dirt. It does not fix faded or chalking paint, oxidized aluminum siding or orange rust stains from well water. If we see those, we tell you before we start.

House soft wash in McCordsville: questions
Our house is only a few years old. Is it too soon for a wash?
Not if you can see a film or green spots. Newer vinyl next to open fields can need a wash within a few years. If it does not need one yet, we will tell you.
Can you wash the house and the windows on the same visit?
Yes. We wash the house first and do the windows after, so the glass stays clean.
How much does house washing cost in McCordsville?
Most one-story homes run $300 to $400 and most two-story homes $400 to $600. It depends on the size of the house, the number of stories and how much buildup there is. We come out, look at it and give you a price in person before anything is booked.
Is soft washing safe for my kids and pets?
Keep kids and pets inside while we work and until the house has been rinsed and the yard is dry. We soak the lawn and plants with plain water before and after.
How often should a McCordsville house be washed?
About once a year suits most homes. Homes next to open fields may want it a little more often, because the dust builds up faster.
How much does a house wash cost?
Most one-story homes run $300 to $400 and most two-story homes $400 to $600. Size, height and how dirty it is all change the price, so we look at your home and confirm the exact price in person before anything is booked.
Is soft washing safe for my plants and lawn?
We soak plants before and after the wash so any solution that reaches them is diluted, and we rinse the beds again when we finish. If there is a bed you are especially careful with, tell us when you book and we will cover it.
How long does a house wash last?
It depends on shade. Sunny walls often stay clean for a year or more. Walls that sit under trees or face north can start to green up again within a year. A yearly wash keeps it from building up.
Do I need to be home?
No. We need an outdoor water spigot and a way around the house, so leave the gate unlocked. We will text you when we finish.
How long does a house soft wash take?
On a typical home, a one-story house takes about 1 to 2 hours and a two-story house about 2 to 3. Big homes, heavy growth and lots of trim take longer. We give you a closer time when we come out to price it.
