    House Washing & Soft Washing Wollongong

    ClearView Exterior Services provides professional house washing and soft washing across Wollongong and the Illawarra. We assess painted, rendered and clad exteriors before using a suitable low-pressure approach to remove mould, algae and grime.

    Professional House Washing & Soft Washing You Can Rely On

    House washing with a suitable soft washing method can clean delicate exterior surfaces without relying on high-pressure blasting. Some people search for exterior house cleaning or house pressure washing. It's the same job, but walls get a low-pressure soft wash rather than high pressure. ClearView Exterior Services uses low-pressure water and specialised cleaning solutions to remove mould, algae, grime and staining from delicate surfaces across Wollongong and the Illawarra.

    High-pressure washing is not suitable for every surface. Painted brick, render, cladding, weatherboards and other delicate materials can be damaged by excessive pressure. Soft washing uses a gentle, controlled application that cleans effectively while protecting the surface underneath.

    The cleaning solution kills mould, algae and lichen at the root, not just blasting the visible growth off the surface. This means the result lasts longer and the organic growth is less likely to return quickly. We take care to protect windows, doors, garden beds and sensitive areas during the process.

    Our Process

    Our House Washing and Soft Washing Process

    We follow a step-by-step approach to deliver consistent results on every job.

    1

    Assess the Exterior

    We inspect the surface type, level of organic growth and any areas requiring special care or protection.

    2

    Protect Sensitive Areas

    We cover or protect windows, doors, garden beds and any areas that could be affected by the cleaning solution.

    3

    Apply Soft Wash Treatment

    Using low-pressure application, we apply the appropriate cleaning solution to the exterior surface from the top down.

    4

    Allow Treatment to Work

    The solution is given time to break down mould, algae and grime at the root — this is what makes soft washing more effective than pressure alone.

    5

    Low-Pressure Rinse

    We rinse the surface with low-pressure water, removing the broken-down growth and grime without forcing water into the surface.

    6

    Inspect and Detail

    We inspect the result and address any remaining areas, then tidy the site and remove any equipment.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How much does house washing or soft washing cost in Wollongong?

    We provide a free, fixed-price quote based on the exterior areas to be cleaned, the surface materials and condition, the level of mould or grime, and access requirements. Tell us which areas need attention so we can assess the work and confirm the scope of your quote.Our house washing cost guide explains what affects the price.

    What is soft washing and how is it different from pressure cleaning?

    Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with specialised cleaning solutions to remove mould, algae, grime and staining from delicate surfaces. Pressure cleaning uses high-pressure water alone. Soft washing is the safe choice for painted, rendered and clad exteriors where high pressure could cause damage.

    Is soft washing safe for render and painted surfaces?

    Yes. Soft washing is specifically designed for delicate surfaces like render, cladding, painted brick and weatherboards. The low-pressure application and appropriate cleaning solutions remove organic growth and grime without damaging the surface.

    Can you remove mould and algae from my house exterior?

    Yes. Mould, algae and lichen on rendered walls, cladding and painted surfaces are exactly what soft washing is designed to address. The treatment kills the organic growth at the root, not just blasting it off the surface.

    Do you protect windows, doors and plants during house washing?

    Yes. We take care to protect windows, doors, garden beds and sensitive areas. We use controlled application and rinse thoroughly to minimise any impact on surrounding areas.

    How often should I have my house exterior washed?

    Most homes in the Illawarra benefit from an exterior wash every 12–24 months. Coastal and shaded properties with more moisture and organic growth may need more frequent cleaning.

    Do I need to be home for house washing?

    In most cases, yes — we need access to the exterior and a water source. We'll arrange a time that suits you.

    What areas do you service for house washing?

    We service Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Albion Park, Dapto, Figtree, Thirroul and the wider Illawarra. We also take on suitable jobs in the Southern Highlands, Nowra and Campbelltown — call to discuss.
