Stairs, Brick and Driveways Washing
Your home's hard surfaces—stairs, brick walls, and driveways—are constantly exposed to the elements. Over time, they accumulate dirt, algae, moss, oil stains, and general grime that diminish your property's curb appeal and can even create slippery, hazardous conditions. Our professional washing service is designed to restore these surfaces to their original beauty using safe, effective, and eco-friendly techniques.

Softwash is more than clean. It keeps your home and business healthy.
HARD SURFACES WASHING PROCESS
STEP 1: SURFACE ANALYSIS AND PREPARATION
We begin with a detailed inspection of all areas to be cleaned. For stairs, we check for loose treads or unstable structures. For brick, we assess the condition of the mortar and identify any areas of spalling or damage. For driveways, we note the type of material (concrete, asphalt, or pavers) and locate any oil stains or stubborn discoloration. We then prepare the workspace by protecting nearby plants, flower beds, and garage entrances with heavy-duty covers. All furniture, vehicles, and decorative items are moved or safely shielded before we begin.​
STEP 2: CUSTOMIZED DEEP CLEANING PROCESS
​
Driveways: We begin by applying a specialized, biodegradable degreaser to oil-stained areas, allowing it to penetrate and break down hydrocarbons. For the remainder of the surface, we use a combination of hot water pressure washing and low-pressure soft washing techniques, depending on the material. Concrete and asphalt are cleaned thoroughly to remove embedded dirt, tire marks, and mold, restoring their original color and texture without damaging the surface.
Brick: Brick surfaces require a gentle touch to preserve the integrity of the mortar. We apply a mild, eco-friendly masonry cleaner using a low-pressure sprayer, allowing it to dwell and dissolve accumulated grime, efflorescence, and biological growth. We then rinse carefully, ensuring that water does not penetrate behind the brick or damage the mortar joints.
Stairs: Each step is hand-cleaned with attention to detail. We use soft washing techniques for non-slip surfaces and textured treads, removing algae and moss that cause slippery conditions. For stone, concrete, or wooden stairs, we adjust our pressure and cleaning agents accordingly to ensure a safe, thorough clean without etching or splintering the material.
STEP 3: FINAL RINSE, INSPECTION AND PROTECTION
​
After cleaning, we perform a comprehensive rinse of all surfaces to remove any remaining residue. We inspect every stair tread, brick face, and driveway section to ensure uniform cleanliness and that all stains have been eliminated. For driveways, we can apply a professional-grade sealer upon request to protect against future oil penetration and weather damage. We then remove all protective covers, sweep away any loose debris, and leave your property immaculate. The result is safe, revitalized surfaces that enhance your home's entrance and exterior spaces.
