Gentle Giant Softwashing

Our safe, low pressure softwash cleaning method can be utilized on the siding of your home. Many people living in the Midwest experience the frustration of their home being overrun with green algae, mildew and black mold in the spring when the cold is finally gone and the humidity returns. With our cleaning method, we are able to restore cleanliness to your home, allowing for you to enjoy your summers outside without having to worry about unsightly siding. Softwashing is much safer for your siding than using a pressure washer, as a pressure washer has the potential to cause major damage to your home's exterior.

Low pressure roof cleaning is a Gentle Giant specialty. Your roof can appear dirty and old when, in actuality, it is infested with mold, mildew, lichen, moss and an algae known as Gloeocapsa magma. Each of these infestations takes time to build up on your roof. They begin as small spores that feed on the limestone in your shingles and as it rains, those spores spread in a downward fashion, eventually becoming visible as black streaks. These organisms are rooting in your roof and as they grow, they are separating the materials in your shingles just as a tree can crack, separate, and destroy a sidewalk.

In most cases, a soft wash method of cleaning is the most appropriate way to clean effectively without the worry of damage from pressure and is our specialty. However, there are situations where pressure is required. Gentle Giant Softwashing utilizes pressure for commercial cleaning situations and concrete cleaning where pressure and heat are required for the clean up of oil, grease and other stains a low pressure wash will not clean efficiently. The combination of pressure and heat allows us to open the pores of the concrete to reach the dirt trapped below the surface.
