Stucco Soft Wash in Apollo Beach

Roy Bielewicz • August 8, 2025

Washing away dirt, grime, and spider webs

This stucco house in Apollo Beach, Florida, had some  minor algae, spiders, and mud daubers, as well as some dirt and grime. We used our soft wash method to safely downstream a 1.5% sodium hypochlorite (SH) solution to remove the organics. In tougher areas we used our dedicated soft wash system, which uses a 12v pump, to apply a more aggressive 4% SH mix to kill stubborn organics.


We also tackled a very dirty driveway and sidewalks with our pressure washer and surface cleaner, post-treating the surfaces with a 4% SH mix to even out lines, and kill mold and mildew in the pores and cracks of the cement.


Note that while we use our pressure washer to downstream during house washing, we're not using pressure! We use a low pressure, adjustable tip that safely streams eight gallons per minute of water, which washes away dirt, grime, etc.

Soft Washing Only Half a Roof!
By Roy Bielewicz August 7, 2025
This was a first for us. The owner of this duplex received an HOA violation for a dirty roof. However, the other side of the duplex is a rental, and that owner is responsible for their half of the roof. So...we're just cleaning one half of this shingle roof.
