Ocala’s heat and humidity create the perfect conditions for green algae, black streaks, and pollen build-up. High pressure can scar stucco and force water behind siding. Our soft wash method cleans deeply at low pressure using professional detergents that are safe for landscaping and outdoor living areas.
House washing in the Ocala subtropics is a delicate balance between effective cleaning and surface protection. Whether your home is finished in vinyl siding, hardy plank, or traditional Florida stucco, high-pressure water can force moisture behind the substrate, leading to hidden rot and interior mold. Starr’s & Stripes employs a “Soft Wash” methodology, utilizing high-volume, low-pressure delivery systems. We apply a proprietary blend of biodegradable detergents that emulsify spider webs, bird droppings, and the ubiquitous “green mold” (algae) common in Marion County. This chemical-mechanical approach ensures that the biological roots of the stains are neutralized, rather than just the surface being rinsed. Our process includes a thorough fresh-water rinse of all surrounding vegetation and “plant-safe” protocols, ensuring your landscaping remains healthy while your home’s exterior is restored to its original luster. This method is the industry standard for maintaining EIFS and delicate masonry finishes.
