1. What is the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

​

Many homeowners think pressure washing and soft washing are the same thing, but they serve different purposes. Pressure washing uses higher water pressure to remove dirt, grime, and buildup from durable surfaces like concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, parking garages, and dumpster pads. Soft washing, on the other hand, uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria from more delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, stucco, painted wood, brick, and Hardie board.

At NorthWash, we use the proper cleaning method for every surface. Our team provides professional pressure washing and soft washing services throughout Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, New Hope, Golden Valley, and the greater Twin Cities, ensuring your property is cleaned safely without unnecessary damage.

​

2. Why does NorthWash use soft washing instead of high pressure on houses?

​

Your home's siding wasn't designed to withstand excessive water pressure. While high pressure may remove surface dirt, it can also force water behind siding, damage paint, loosen trim, and shorten the lifespan of your home's exterior.

That's why NorthWash specializes in professional soft washing for residential homes. Our soft washing process removes algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, and organic stains using biodegradable cleaning solutions and low-pressure water, leaving your home cleaner for longer while protecting its exterior.

Homeowners throughout Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Edina, Plymouth, New Hope, and surrounding Twin Cities communities trust NorthWash because we clean homes the right way—not simply the fastest way.

​

3. How often should I have my house professionally washed?

​

For most homes in Minnesota, we recommend having your house professionally washed every 6 - 12 months. Homes surrounded by trees, located near lakes, or shaded for much of the day may benefit from annual cleaning because moisture encourages algae and mildew growth.

Routine house washing helps preserve your siding, improves curb appeal, and prevents organic buildup from becoming more difficult to remove over time.

NorthWash offers residential house washing services throughout the Twin Cities, helping homeowners maintain a clean, well-maintained exterior year after year.

​

4. Can pressure washing damage my siding?

​

Yes. Using excessive pressure on vinyl siding, painted surfaces, stucco, or wood can cause expensive damage if performed incorrectly. High pressure may crack siding, force water behind walls, chip paint, damage caulking, or leave permanent marks on delicate materials.

At NorthWash, we carefully inspect every property before beginning work. Rather than using high pressure on every surface, we utilize professional soft washing techniques whenever appropriate to safely remove dirt, algae, and mildew while protecting your home.

​

5. What causes green stains on my siding?

​

Green stains are almost always caused by algae growing on your home's exterior. Minnesota's humid summers, shaded areas, and moisture create the perfect environment for algae to thrive, especially on north-facing walls.

Simply blasting the algae with pressure often removes only the visible layer, allowing it to return quickly. NorthWash's professional soft washing process kills the algae at its source, helping your home stay cleaner much longer.

​

6. Do you clean commercial buildings?

​

Yes. NorthWash provides commercial pressure washing services for businesses and property managers throughout the Twin Cities. We clean shopping centers, office buildings, apartment complexes, restaurants, medical offices, retail storefronts, warehouses, parking garages, sidewalks, dumpster enclosures, and other commercial properties.

We also offer recurring maintenance programs to help commercial properties maintain a professional appearance throughout the year.

​

7. What surfaces can you pressure wash?

​

Pressure washing is ideal for durable surfaces including concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, retaining walls, parking garages, loading docks, dumpster pads, and many commercial exterior surfaces.

For more delicate materials like siding, stucco, painted wood, and exterior trim, NorthWash uses professional soft washing instead. Choosing the proper cleaning method helps deliver outstanding results while protecting your property.

​

8. Is soft washing safe for my landscaping and pets?

​

Yes. At NorthWash, protecting your property is just as important as cleaning it. We take precautions before, during, and after every service by pre-rinsing sensitive landscaping when needed, applying cleaning solutions responsibly, and thoroughly rinsing surrounding areas after the cleaning process.

Our goal is to leave your property cleaner while minimizing impact on your landscaping and outdoor spaces.

​

9. Do you offer exterior window cleaning?

​

Absolutely. In addition to pressure washing and soft washing, NorthWash provides professional exterior window cleaning for homes and commercial properties throughout Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, New Hope, Golden Valley, and surrounding Twin Cities communities.

We use purified water-fed pole systems that allow us to safely clean windows several stories high without leaving behind streaks or soap residue. This method produces crystal-clear results while reducing the need for ladders in many situations.

​

10. When is the best time to pressure wash my home in Minnesota?

​

Spring through fall is generally the best time for pressure washing and soft washing in Minnesota. Many homeowners schedule service in the spring to remove dirt and algae that accumulated over the winter, while others choose late summer or fall to refresh their home's appearance before colder weather arrives.

NorthWash performs exterior cleaning services throughout the warmer months and can help determine the ideal schedule based on your home's location, surrounding trees, and level of organic growth.

​

11. Why should I hire a professional pressure washing company instead of renting a machine?

​

While rental pressure washers may seem convenient, improper use can quickly damage siding, etch concrete, scar wood, force water behind exterior walls, or remove protective finishes.

Professional companies like NorthWash use commercial-grade equipment, specialized cleaning solutions, and years of experience to determine the safest and most effective cleaning method for every surface. Hiring a professional helps protect your property while delivering better, longer-lasting results.

​

12. How much does pressure washing cost?

​

The cost of pressure washing depends on several factors, including the size of the property, the surfaces being cleaned, the level of buildup, and the type of cleaning required.

At NorthWash, every estimate is customized to your property because no two homes or commercial buildings are exactly alike. We provide free estimates throughout the Twin Cities and take the time to recommend the most effective cleaning solution based on your property's specific needs.

​

13. Does pressure washing increase home value?

​

A professionally cleaned home creates a strong first impression and significantly improves curb appeal. Removing algae, mold, dirt, and years of buildup can make your home appear newer, cleaner, and better maintained.

Whether you're preparing to sell your home or simply take pride in its appearance, professional exterior cleaning is one of the quickest ways to enhance its overall look.

​

14. What areas does NorthWash serve?

​

NorthWash proudly provides residential and commercial pressure washing, soft washing, and exterior window cleaning throughout the Minneapolis–St. Paul Twin Cities area.

Some of our primary service areas include Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, Golden Valley, New Hope, St. Louis Park, Medina, Orono, Minnetrista, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center, Crystal, and surrounding communities.

If you're unsure whether we service your location, simply contact us—we're happy to help.

​

15. Why choose NorthWash?

​

Choosing the right exterior cleaning company means choosing someone who values your property as much as you do. At NorthWash, we focus on using the safest cleaning methods, providing honest recommendations, and delivering consistently high-quality results.

Unlike companies that rely on high pressure for every job, we use professional soft washing for delicate surfaces and reserve higher-pressure cleaning for surfaces designed to handle it. This approach helps protect your home while delivering a deeper, longer-lasting clean.

From house washing and commercial pressure washing to exterior window cleaning, parking garages, dumpster enclosures, sidewalks, and shopping centers, NorthWash has earned the trust of homeowners, businesses, and property managers throughout the Twin Cities by providing reliable service, clear communication, and results that speak for themselves.

​

16. Do you use chemicals to clean homes?

​

Yes, but not in the way many people think. At NorthWash, we use professional-grade biodegradable cleaning solutions specifically designed to remove mold, mildew, algae, bacteria, and other organic growth from exterior surfaces. These cleaning solutions do most of the work, allowing us to use significantly lower water pressure while achieving a deeper, longer-lasting clean.

Our soft washing process is safer for your home's exterior than relying solely on high-pressure water. Every cleaning solution is mixed appropriately for the surface being cleaned, helping protect your siding while delivering exceptional results.

​

17. How long does soft washing last?

​

The results of a professional soft washing service typically last between 12 and 24 months, depending on your home's environment. Factors such as heavy tree coverage, shade, nearby lakes, humidity, and weather conditions can all influence how quickly organic growth returns.

Unlike pressure washing alone, soft washing eliminates the algae, mold, and mildew at the source rather than simply removing the visible stains. This helps your home stay cleaner significantly longer.

​

18. Can pressure washing remove mold and mildew?

​

Yes. Professional pressure washing and soft washing can effectively remove mold, mildew, algae, and other organic contaminants from your property's exterior. However, the best cleaning method depends on the surface being cleaned.

For concrete and other durable materials, pressure washing works well. For siding, stucco, painted surfaces, and other delicate materials, NorthWash uses professional soft washing to safely eliminate mold and mildew while reducing the risk of damage.

​

19. Do you clean driveways and sidewalks?

​

Absolutely. Concrete driveways and sidewalks collect dirt, algae, mildew, tire marks, and other stains over time that can make your property appear older than it really is.

NorthWash provides professional driveway and sidewalk pressure washing throughout Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, Golden Valley, New Hope, Minneapolis, and surrounding Twin Cities communities, restoring concrete surfaces and dramatically improving curb appeal.

​

20. Can pressure washing remove oil stains?

​

Many oil stains can be significantly improved, but complete removal depends on several factors including the age of the stain, the type of concrete, and how deeply the oil has penetrated the surface.

At NorthWash, we use specialized cleaning techniques to reduce the appearance of oil stains whenever possible. While some older stains may leave slight discoloration, professional cleaning often produces a dramatic improvement.

​

21. Do you clean roofs?

​

Yes. Roofs should never be cleaned using high-pressure washing because excessive pressure can damage shingles and reduce the lifespan of your roofing system.

NorthWash uses a professional roof soft washing process that safely removes black streaks, algae, moss, and organic growth while protecting your roof. Soft washing restores your roof's appearance without the risks associated with traditional pressure washing.

​

22. Why do roofs develop black streaks?

​

Those black streaks are typically caused by a type of algae known as Gloeocapsa Magma. This algae feeds on limestone fillers commonly found in asphalt shingles and thrives in humid environments.

Professional roof soft washing safely removes this algae and restores your roof's appearance without causing damage to the shingles.

​

23. Can pressure washing prepare my home for painting?

​

Yes. Professional exterior cleaning is one of the most important steps before painting your home.

Removing dirt, chalking, mold, mildew, algae, and loose contaminants allows paint to properly bond with the surface, helping improve adhesion and extend the life of your new paint job.

NorthWash works with many homeowners and painting contractors throughout the Twin Cities to prepare homes for exterior painting.

​

24. How long does a typical house washing service take?

​

Most residential house washing services can be completed within 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size of the home, the amount of buildup, and any additional services requested.

Larger homes or projects that include exterior window cleaning, driveway cleaning, patios, or other exterior surfaces may require additional time. NorthWash always works efficiently while taking the time necessary to deliver quality results.

​

25. Will pressure washing damage my concrete?

​

When performed correctly, professional pressure washing is safe for concrete surfaces.

At NorthWash, we adjust our equipment and cleaning methods based on the condition and age of the concrete to safely remove dirt, algae, mildew, and stains without causing unnecessary wear.

Improper pressure, however, can leave visible lines or etching, which is why professional equipment and experience are important.

​

26. Why is my house turning green?

​

Green discoloration is almost always caused by algae growing on your home's exterior. Homes that receive limited sunlight or are surrounded by trees tend to experience algae growth more quickly because moisture remains on the siding for longer periods.

NorthWash's professional soft washing process safely removes the algae while helping delay future growth, leaving your home cleaner and brighter.

​

27. Is pressure washing environmentally friendly?

​

Professional exterior cleaning can be environmentally responsible when performed correctly.

At NorthWash, we use biodegradable cleaning solutions whenever appropriate and carefully control the application of our products to minimize waste. By using soft washing, we also rely less on excessive water pressure while effectively removing organic growth.

Our goal is to provide exceptional cleaning results while being mindful of the surrounding environment.

​

28. What should I do before my pressure washing appointment?

​

Preparing your property helps ensure the best possible results. Before your scheduled service, we recommend:

• Closing all windows and doors

• Moving outdoor furniture and decorations when possible

• Parking vehicles away from the work area

• Turning off exterior electrical equipment if necessary

• Securing pets indoors during the cleaning

If additional preparation is required for your specific project, NorthWash will provide those details before your appointment.

​

29. Do you offer recurring maintenance plans?

​

Yes. Many homeowners and commercial property managers choose recurring maintenance plans to keep their properties looking clean throughout the year.

NorthWash offers customized maintenance schedules for residential homes, apartment communities, shopping centers, office buildings, restaurants, parking garages, dumpster enclosures, sidewalks, and other commercial properties throughout the Twin Cities.

Routine maintenance helps reduce long-term buildup while keeping your property looking its best year-round.

​

30. What makes NorthWash different from other pressure washing companies?

​

At NorthWash, we believe exterior cleaning should focus on protecting your property—not just making it look clean for a few weeks.

We specialize in using the proper cleaning method for every surface, combining professional pressure washing with advanced soft washing techniques to safely remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and organic buildup without unnecessary risk.

Beyond our residential and commercial experience, NorthWash has become one of the largest exterior cleaning brands on social media, with hundreds of millions of annual video views showcasing real-world projects, educational content, and satisfying before-and-after transformations. Our commitment to education, customer service, and quality workmanship has earned the trust of homeowners, businesses, and property managers throughout Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, New Hope, Golden Valley, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and surrounding Twin Cities communities.

​​

31. Is pressure washing safe for brick homes?

​

Yes. Brick is a durable material, but not every brick home should be cleaned using the same amount of pressure. Older brick, deteriorating mortar, or painted brick often requires a gentler approach to avoid unnecessary damage.

At NorthWash, we inspect every property before beginning work and determine whether traditional pressure washing or professional soft washing is the safest option. Our goal is to safely remove dirt, algae, mold, and organic staining while preserving the integrity of your home's exterior.

​

32. Can pressure washing remove spider webs and insect nests?

​

Yes. Spider webs, mud dauber nests, wasp nests, and other insect debris commonly collect around soffits, overhangs, entryways, and exterior lighting.

NorthWash removes these unsightly webs and nests as part of many residential and commercial exterior cleaning services, helping your home or business look cleaner and more inviting.

​

33. Do I need to be home during the service?

​

In most cases, no. As long as we have access to the areas being cleaned and an outdoor water source if needed, many customers choose to go about their day while we complete the work.

We'll communicate with you before and after the service, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you're completely satisfied with the finished results.

​

34. Can pressure washing remove rust stains?

​

Some rust stains can be successfully removed or significantly improved using specialized cleaning products and techniques. The success of rust removal depends on the type of surface, the age of the stain, and what caused it.

NorthWash can evaluate rust staining during your estimate and recommend the best solution for your property.

​

35. What's the difference between power washing and pressure washing?

​

Many people use the terms interchangeably, but there is a small difference. Power washing uses heated water, while pressure washing uses unheated, high-pressure water.

For most residential and commercial exterior cleaning projects, the cleaning solution and proper technique are far more important than heated water. At NorthWash, we choose the cleaning method that's best suited for each surface to achieve outstanding results safely.

​

36. Will pressure washing remove black spots from concrete?

​

In many cases, yes. Black spots on concrete are often caused by deeply rooted algae, mold, mildew, or organic staining. These stains can become embedded in the surface over time and require professional cleaning methods.

NorthWash uses commercial-grade equipment and cleaning solutions to restore concrete surfaces as much as possible while protecting the integrity of the concrete.

​

37. Can you clean fences?

​

Yes. We clean wood, vinyl, composite, and metal fences using the appropriate pressure and cleaning techniques for each material.

Whether your fence has algae, mildew, dirt, or weather-related staining, NorthWash can restore its appearance while helping prevent unnecessary damage caused by excessive pressure.

​

38. Do you clean patios and pool decks?

​

Absolutely. Patios, pool decks, and outdoor living spaces accumulate dirt, algae, mildew, pollen, and other contaminants that can become slippery and unattractive.

Professional pressure washing helps restore these surfaces while improving safety and curb appeal. NorthWash cleans patios and outdoor surfaces throughout the Twin Cities using methods appropriate for concrete, pavers, natural stone, and other materials.

​

39. Can pressure washing help prevent slippery surfaces?

​

Yes. Algae, mildew, moss, and organic growth can create slippery conditions on sidewalks, patios, driveways, pool decks, and entryways.

Routine professional cleaning removes these contaminants, helping improve traction while making your property safer for your family, guests, customers, and employees.

​

40. How often should commercial properties be pressure washed?

​

The ideal cleaning schedule depends on your property's location, traffic, and appearance standards. Many shopping centers, apartment complexes, restaurants, and office buildings benefit from quarterly or semi-annual cleaning.

NorthWash offers customized recurring maintenance programs for commercial properties throughout the Twin Cities, helping businesses maintain a clean, professional image year-round.

​

41. Do you provide free estimates?

​

Yes. NorthWash proudly offers free, no-obligation estimates for both residential and commercial exterior cleaning services throughout the Twin Cities.

During your estimate, we'll evaluate your property, discuss your goals, answer your questions, and recommend the safest and most effective cleaning solution for your home or business.

​

42. What weather conditions are best for pressure washing?

​

Exterior cleaning can be performed in a variety of weather conditions, but extremely heavy rain, freezing temperatures, or severe storms may require rescheduling.

Minnesota's spring, summer, and fall seasons typically provide ideal conditions for pressure washing and soft washing services.

​

43. Can pressure washing remove years of dirt and grime?

​

Yes. One of the biggest benefits of professional exterior cleaning is the dramatic transformation it can create. Years of accumulated dirt, algae, mildew, pollen, and environmental buildup can often be removed in just a few hours.

Many homeowners are surprised at how much brighter and newer their property looks after a professional cleaning from NorthWash.

​

44. Is NorthWash fully insured?

​

Yes. NorthWash is fully insured, giving homeowners, business owners, and property managers confidence that they're working with a professional exterior cleaning company.

​

46. Should I pressure wash my house before selling it?

​

Absolutely. One of the most affordable ways to improve your home's curb appeal before listing it for sale is professional exterior cleaning. A clean exterior creates a stronger first impression, helps your home appear well maintained, and can make listing photos stand out.

NorthWash provides professional house washing, pressure washing, and exterior window cleaning throughout Maple Grove, Minnetonka, Wayzata, Plymouth, Edina, New Hope, Golden Valley, Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and surrounding Twin Cities communities, helping homeowners prepare their properties before selling.

​

47. Why is only one side of my house turning green?

​

This is one of the most common questions we receive.

The north side of your home typically receives less direct sunlight, allowing moisture to remain on the siding longer. That damp environment creates ideal conditions for algae growth.

Homes surrounded by mature trees or located near lakes and wooded areas are even more susceptible.

NorthWash safely removes this algae using our professional soft washing process, helping your home stay cleaner longer.

​

48. Is soft washing worth the extra cost?

​

In most cases, yes.

Soft washing doesn't simply remove visible dirt—it eliminates the algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria causing the staining. Because the organic growth is treated at its source, homes typically stay cleaner much longer than if they were cleaned using pressure alone.

At NorthWash, we believe protecting your home's exterior is worth the investment, which is why soft washing is our preferred cleaning method for siding and other delicate materials.

​

49. Can pressure washing void my siding warranty?

​

It can.

Many siding manufacturers recommend using low-pressure cleaning methods because excessive pressure can force water behind siding, damage finishes, or crack panels.

NorthWash follows industry-recommended cleaning practices by using professional soft washing whenever appropriate, helping homeowners safely maintain their siding while reducing unnecessary risk.

​

50. Why do my gutters have black streaks?

​

Those dark streaks are commonly caused by oxidation or runoff from your roof. They cannot always be removed with pressure washing alone and often require specialized restoration products.

NorthWash can evaluate your gutters during your estimate and determine whether the staining is organic buildup or oxidation, allowing us to recommend the most effective cleaning process.

​

51. How long should I wait before painting after pressure washing?

​

Most exterior surfaces should be allowed to dry completely before painting.

Depending on weather conditions, temperature, humidity, and the surface being cleaned, this typically ranges from 24 to 72 hours.

NorthWash frequently works alongside painting contractors throughout the Twin Cities to prepare homes for exterior painting.

​

52. Should I have my windows cleaned before or after house washing?

​

After.

House washing can leave water spots or loosen dirt around windows, so cleaning your windows after the house has been washed produces the best final result.

Many homeowners choose to bundle exterior window cleaning with house washing for a complete exterior refresh.

​

53. Can pressure washing remove oxidation from vinyl siding?

​

Yes, in many cases.

Over time, sunlight causes vinyl siding to oxidize, creating a chalky white residue on the surface.

Removing oxidation requires specialized techniques and should never be attempted using excessive pressure.

NorthWash evaluates every home individually and recommends the safest restoration process based on the condition of the siding.

​

54. Will my house stay cleaner after soft washing?

​

Yes.

Unlike pressure washing alone, professional soft washing removes the algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria causing the staining.

Because the source of the problem is eliminated, most homes remain cleaner significantly longer than if only high-pressure water had been used.

​

55. Can algae damage my siding?

​

Over time, yes.

Algae holds moisture against your home's exterior and can contribute to staining and deterioration if left untreated for extended periods.

Routine soft washing helps remove this buildup before it becomes a larger maintenance issue.

​

56. Why does my concrete turn black?

​

Black discoloration is usually caused by algae, mold, mildew, dirt, and other organic contaminants becoming embedded in the porous surface of the concrete.

Professional pressure washing safely removes these contaminants and restores the appearance of driveways, sidewalks, patios, and other concrete surfaces.

​

57. Can pressure washing remove chewing gum?

​

Yes.

Commercial-grade pressure washing equipment can remove most chewing gum from sidewalks, storefronts, restaurants, schools, shopping centers, and other high-traffic areas.

NorthWash provides commercial sidewalk cleaning services throughout the Twin Cities for businesses looking to maintain a clean, professional appearance.

​

58. Do apartment buildings need regular pressure washing?

​

Absolutely.

Apartment communities experience heavy foot traffic and constant exposure to weather, making routine exterior cleaning essential for maintaining curb appeal and protecting property value.

NorthWash works with apartment communities throughout the Twin Cities to clean sidewalks, building exteriors, breezeways, dumpster enclosures, parking garages, windows, and common areas.

​

59. Why do commercial properties schedule recurring pressure washing?

​

Routine maintenance keeps commercial properties looking professional year-round while preventing heavy buildup that becomes more expensive to remove later.

Shopping centers, office buildings, apartment communities, restaurants, and retail centers often schedule recurring service because clean properties leave a better impression on customers and tenants.

​

60. Why does NorthWash focus so much on educating homeowners?

​

We believe informed homeowners make better decisions.

That's why NorthWash doesn't simply provide exterior cleaning services—we also create educational content that has reached hundreds of millions of viewers every year across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

​
