Pressure Washing Services & Soft Washing
Professional House & Exterior Soft Washing in Naperville, Downers Grove & Chicagoland
When your home’s siding, brick, stucco or vinyl begins to look tired, stained, or covered in algae and mildew — you don’t need a high-pressure blast. You need safe, effective soft washing. At Streamline Softwash (Hickory Hills, IL), we bring premium house and exterior soft washing services across Naperville, Downers Grove, Orland Park, Oak Brook, Burr Ridge, and surrounding suburbs. Our low-pressure, biodegradable-solution method restores curb appeal and protects your property.
What Is Soft Washing & Why It Matters
Gentle on Your Home — Harsh on the Growth
Soft washing is the professional method of cleaning exterior surfaces using a specialized detergent blend and low-pressure equipment that targets mold, mildew, algae, black streaks, and organic buildup. Traditional high-pressure washing may remove the top layer of grime, but it can damage siding, loosen seams, strip paint, and allow water intrusion. Soft washing safely cleans materials like vinyl, stucco, brick, wood siding, and more while preserving their integrity.
Long-Lasting Results in Chicagoland Conditions
In the Chicago suburbs, you face tree cover, shade, humidity, winter salt and freeze-thaw cycles — all of which accelerate growth and damage. Our professional soft wash process not only removes existing stains but slows the return of new growth, meaning your siding stays cleaner longer, your maintenance costs drop, and your property value stays higher.
Our House & Exterior Soft Wash Process
1. Full Property Assessment
We inspect your home’s siding, trim, soffits, gutters, eaves, and surrounding landscaping to identify problem areas: algae-streaked siding, mildew under deck overhangs, pollen/yellowing on brick, and shaded zones near wooded lots in Naperville, Plainfield or Hinsdale. We’ll walk you through what we see and recommend exactly what your home needs.
2. Protect Landscaping & Outdoor Items
Before cleaning begins, we pre-rinse plants, shield sensitive surfaces, secure exterior furniture, and protect painted trim, lighting fixtures and decks. Because your home is in the suburbs, we also monitor runoff near patios, fire pits, and pool areas to keep everything safe.
3. Applied Soft Wash & Dwell Time
We apply our low-pressure treatment using a biodegradable cleaning solution that penetrates and kills mold, mildew, algae and organic debris. Dwell time ensures deep cleaning and helps extend your siding’s lifespan.
4. Rinse & Final Walk-through
After cleaning, we rinse thoroughly from top down, inspect the result, and walk you through the finished job. We capture before/after photos, verify your satisfaction, and leave your home looking like new.

Frequently Asked Questions — Soft Washing Edition
Is soft washing safe for my siding and trim?
Yes. Soft washing uses low-pressure equipment and the right chemical solution for each surface (vinyl, brick, wood, stucco). No harsh blasting, no damage, no risk of water intrusion.
How often should I schedule a soft wash?
Most homes in our service area benefit from a soft wash every 1–3 years, depending on shade, tree cover, roof overhangs and exterior condition.
What happens if I don’t clean my home’s exterior?
Left untreated, mold and algae can discolor siding, degrade paint, trap moisture, and eventually lead to siding failure or costly repairs. Proactive cleaning prevents problems.
Do you clean decks, fences or patios in the same service?
Yes — we often include adjacent surfaces like decks, fences or patio pavers if they’re part of the project. Let us know at your estimate and we’ll include all connected exterior elements.
Are your solutions safe for pets and plants?
Absolutely. We use biodegradable cleaning solutions, pre-rinse landscaping, and ask that pets be kept inside during active cleaning for safety.
