Vinyl
The most common siding around Lake Norman, and the one most often damaged by a pressure washer. A soft wash lifts the green film and black streaks without forcing water behind the panels.

House Washing in Lake Norman, NC
Black streaks, green algae and mildew aren't just a looks problem. They're organic growth living on your home and working against your siding every day. Our house washing removes it the safe way, with a soft wash that cleans without blasting your home.
Soft Washing That Protects Lake Norman Homes
House washing is not the same as pressure washing. Siding, trim and paint aren't built to take a high pressure blast. Too much pressure can strip paint, dent or crack siding, wear away mortar joints, and force water behind the panels where you can't see it and it can't dry out.
So we soft wash. Your plants get soaked with a neutralizer first, then a cleaning solution goes on the siding and trim. It sits long enough to break down the black mold, green algae, mildew and grime, then rinses off with gentle, low pressure. The solution does the heavy lifting, not the water.
The result is a clean exterior and real curb appeal without putting your home at risk. Older homes and older paint get an even gentler approach. Questions about your home first? Reach us on the contact page.
Siding We Soft Wash Around Lake Norman
Every siding material holds dirt and growth a little differently, so each one gets cleaned the way it needs.
Brick
Brick is tough, but the mortar between it is not. A soft wash pulls algae and dirt out of the surface without wearing away at the joints.
Brick Cleaning
Stucco
Stucco is porous and can chip or crack under high pressure. The cleaning solution soaks into the texture, so it rinses clean with gentle pressure.
Stucco Cleaning
Stone
Natural and manufactured stone is full of texture where growth likes to hide. The solution reaches into every gap, then rinses away with low pressure.
Stone Cleaning
Cedar and Hardie Board
High pressure can gouge soft cedar and strip the painted finish on Hardie board. A soft wash takes off the mildew and dirt and leaves the wood and the paint where they belong.
Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing
Aluminum
Aluminum siding dents easily, so it gets a low pressure soft wash that cleans the surface without leaving marks behind.

What Your Neighbors Say About CaroClean
Real reviews from real customers, copied word for word from our Google Business Profile.
Highly recommend CaroClean Pressure Washing! We had them clean the exterior of our house along with our driveway, sidewalks, and both our front and back patio areas, and the results were exceptional. The difference before and after was incredible. Areas of the siding and concrete that had built-up dirt, grime, and discoloration look clean and refreshed again.
They did a very thorough job and paid attention to the entire property rather than rushing through it. Our driveway, sidewalks, and patio look dramatically better, and the exterior of the house looks fantastic.
The pricing was also very fair for the amount of work completed. We never felt overcharged, especially considering the quality of the results. We are extremely happy with the work and would absolutely use CaroClean Pressure Washing again. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional pressure washing or exterior cleaning!

Caz recently power washed my parents’ home in Mooresville and I cannot say enough amazing things about him! He arrived EARLY (I know, unheard of nowadays), he was extremely knowledgeable of what he was doing and he came up with a game plan for the project and my parents were privy and apart of the process every step of the way. On my behalf of my parents, there aren’t enough stars to share how awesome Caz is. We look forward to working with him in the future. Many people have worked on my parents’ house and Caz is the keeper. His prices are EXTREMELY REASONABLE. great kid, great service!

House Washing FAQs for Lake Norman Homeowners
Have a different question? Find more answers on the full pressure washing FAQ.
Is soft washing safe for vinyl siding?
Yes, and it's the safest way to clean it. High pressure can dent vinyl and force water behind the panels. A soft wash lets the cleaning solution do the work, then rinses with gentle, controlled pressure.
Can you remove black streaks and algae?
Yes. Black streaks, green algae and mildew are organic growth, and the soft wash solution breaks them down so they rinse away. If a stain turns out to be something other than growth, we'll tell you honestly before we start.
Do you clean older homes differently?
Yes. Older homes and older paint get a gentler approach, with extra care around the siding and trim.
How long does the solution sit before rinsing?
Long enough to break down the growth. That depends on how heavy the buildup is and the weather that day, so we adjust it on every job instead of rushing to rinse.
My paint looks chalky or faded. Can a house wash fix that?
A house wash will clean it, but it can't bring back paint that has oxidized and turned chalky. We'll take a look at your paint and tell you honestly what a wash will and won't do before any work starts.
Will the cleaning solution hurt my plants?
No. Your plants, shrubs and garden beds get soaked with a neutralizer before any cleaning solution goes on, so they're protected the whole time we work.
How often should I wash my house near the lake?
About once a year for most homes. Shady, humid spots near the water grow algae faster, so those homes may need it more often.
