House Looking Dull? Let’s Bring Back the Shine—The Gentle Way
At Riptide Softwash, we don’t believe in blasting your home with high-pressure water. Instead, we take a smarter, safer approach—soft washing.
Serving Sarasota and Manatee County, our team uses a low-pressure cleaning system paired with eco-conscious solutions to wash away years of grime, algae, and mildew—without risking damage to your paint, siding, or shingles.
Whether you live by the beach or deeper inland, Florida’s heat and humidity can do a number on your exterior surfaces. That’s why homeowners trust us to keep things clean, fresh, and protected—year-round.
Here’s Why Homeowners Swear by Soft Washing
Soft washing isn’t just an alternative to pressure washing—it’s the upgrade your home didn’t know it needed. Here’s what makes it different:
1. Not Just Clean—Scientifically Clean
Green algae, black streaks, mildew—these aren’t just cosmetic issues. They’re living organisms feeding off your home.
Our soft wash system doesn’t just rinse them away—it kills them at the source, using a specially blended cleaning solution that treats the surface and halts regrowth.
2. Less Water. More Impact.
Pressure washers rely on brute force and gallons of water. We rely on chemistry.
Soft washing uses up to 70% less water by letting our solution do the heavy lifting. That means less runoff, lower utility costs, and a more sustainable clean.
3. Friendly to Kids, Pets, and Plants
Your family’s safety matters. Every product we use is biodegradable and low-tox, safe for use around your lawn, flowers, pets, and people.
We take extra care to cover and protect your landscaping, and we always rinse down any residue after the job is done.
4. Boosts Curb Appeal Instantly
A clean house stands out—and it photographs beautifully. Whether you’re prepping to list your home or just want to wow the neighbors, a soft wash will leave your exterior fresh, bright, and market-ready.
5. Prevents Costly Repairs Later
What starts as dirt or mold can become rot, peeling paint, or roof damage. Soft washing is more than a cosmetic fix—it’s preventative maintenance that protects your home’s materials and structural integrity.
A Word of Warning About Roof Washing
If anyone offers to power wash your shingle roof—run the other way.
High-pressure washers can strip away protective granules, cause water intrusion, and even void your roof’s warranty.
Our method is ARMA-approved (Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association). We apply a soft chemical solution, let it dwell, and then gently rinse—completely removing algae and buildup without touching your shingles with force.
“High-pressure washing systems are likely to damage asphalt roofing and should not be used on asphalt roofing for removing algae or for any other purpose.” — ARMA
