Professional house washing across Melbourne
Melbourne weather leaves its mark. Dirt, grime, mould and mildew build up over years — especially on south-facing walls that never dry out properly — and left alone they don’t just look bad. They eat into paintwork and render, and bring the repaint date forward.
We’ve washed hundreds of Melbourne homes and buildings since 2015 — render, brick, cladding and weatherboard alike. The method is always the same: soft washing rather than high pressure. Effective on the grime, safe on the surface.
Signs Your House or Building Needs Washing
Exterior grime builds slowly enough that you stop noticing it — on a home or a building frontage alike. Here’s what to look for on your own walls.
Residential and Commercial House Washing
Single homes through to full building exteriors — same soft wash method, different scale.
Residential
Whether you’re getting the place ready to sell or just tired of looking at the mould on the south wall, we wash render, brick, cladding and weatherboard homes right across Melbourne. Furniture and plants covered before we start, fixed price confirmed up front, and before-and-after photos when we’re done.
Commercial
We hold regular contracts with strata groups, facilities teams, schools, and NDIS and aged care providers across Melbourne. Height-safety certification, $20M public liability, SWMS and documented before-and-after photos for your records. We invoice against purchase orders and can service multiple sites under one agreement.

Why choose Exterior Clean Melbourne for house washing
Soft wash only — no damaged render or paint
High pressure can strip paint, crack render and force water where it shouldn’t go. We use low-pressure soft washing — effective on the grime, safe on the surface.
Kills mould, mildew and algae at the root
Pressure alone won’t fix mould. It blasts away the surface layer but the spores stay behind and return within weeks. Our custom-mixed treatment kills the spores at the root.
Eco-friendly, biodegradable solutions
The products we apply break down dirt and organic growth without harming the plants and lawn underneath. Sensitive planting gets covered before we start.
Height-safety trained and fully insured
Our teams are working-at-heights certified and Exterior Clean Melbourne carries full public liability cover. Documentation available on request — useful if you’re managing a strata or facility.
200% satisfaction guarantee
Not happy with the result? We’ll come back and make it right. Still not satisfied? We’ll offer up to a full refund. That’s how confident we are in the work.
Local Melbourne team since 2015
We know Melbourne’s conditions and the surfaces that need a gentler approach. Local experience that shows in the result.
How our house washing works
Treat first, rinse gently, check properly — the same method on every wash.
Assessment and fixed quote
We assess your property’s exterior — surface type, size and condition — and lock in a fixed price before we start. No surprises on the day.
Pre-treatment and protection
Furniture, planters, signage and fixtures are moved or covered, sensitive landscaping is protected, and windows and doors are checked closed before any water goes on.
Soft wash application
An eco-friendly, biodegradable solution is applied to break down dirt, grime, mould and mildew at the source, then left to dwell for a few minutes so it kills the spores rather than just lifting the surface.
Low-pressure rinse, top to bottom
We rinse from the top down so the dirt runs off ahead of us and nothing gets driven back into the surface — covering gutters, fascia, eaves, soffits, cladding and downpipes.
Final spot check
A thorough inspection with you or on your behalf, and any missed spots hand-cleaned before we call it done.

House Washing Pricing and Options
Our most popular service. We use a gentle soft-wash method — never high pressure on render or cladding — to lift years of dirt, mould and cobwebs off your walls, eaves and window frames. What you’ll pay comes down to the size of the property and how much build-up we’re dealing with. The guide below covers standard residential jobs; commercial, strata and multi-storey sites are quoted individually after a site assessment.
Prices are a guide only and depend on property size, surface type and condition. Your exact price is confirmed via the instant quote.
The Perfect Combo: House Wash and Gutters Together
A house wash covers the fascia, eaves and downpipes — so we’re already up at the roofline with the access gear set up. Clearing the gutters at the same time costs less than bringing a team back for it, and it means the grime we rinse off actually drains away instead of sitting in a blocked channel.
One visit, one setup
Same team, same day, same access equipment already on site. No second booking, no second disruption.
Where the wash water goes
Everything we lift off your walls and roofline rinses down into the gutters. Clearing them in the same visit means it leaves the property rather than settling in the system.
Cheaper than two visits
Booked together, the combo comes in under the cost of two separate jobs. You’ll see the combo price in the quote tool.

House washing FAQs
Will pressure cleaning damage my building?
We don’t use high-pressure cleaning on building exteriors. High pressure can strip paint, crack render, dent cladding and force water in behind the surface. Soft washing is safer on render, paint, weatherboard and fibre cement — and because the treatment does the work rather than the force, the result lasts longer too.
How often should I have my house or building washed?
Every 1–2 years is the right cadence for most Melbourne properties. Shaded or damp sites need it annually, and commercial frontages on busy roads often go yearly too — traffic film builds faster than most people expect.
What surfaces do you wash?
Render, brick, cladding, weatherboard, fibre cement, painted concrete and most other common exterior surfaces found on Melbourne homes and buildings. Each one needs a different pressure and approach, which is why we assess before we start. If you’re unsure whether your surface is suitable, upload a photo in the quote tool and we’ll confirm.
Will the products harm plants or landscaping?
No. We use eco-friendly, biodegradable solutions, and sensitive planting is covered before we start. Everything is rinsed thoroughly at the end so no detergent is left sitting on surfaces, in garden beds or across paved areas.
Do I need to be on site?
Not if we have safe access. We’ll confirm access details when you book, complete the work, and send through before-and-after photos when we’re done — useful whether you’re at work or managing the site remotely.
Are you insured?
Yes — Exterior Clean Melbourne carries full public liability cover and our teams are height-safety certified. If you need documentation for insurance or strata purposes, just ask.
Do you provide SWMS and insurance documentation?
Yes. Every commercial job comes with a Safe Work Method Statement, and we can supply certificates of currency for our $20M public liability and WorkCover on request. Facilities and strata managers usually want these on file before we start.
Can you work after hours or on weekends?
Yes. For schools, retail sites and occupied commercial buildings we regularly schedule outside trading or teaching hours to keep disruption down. Let us know your access windows and we’ll build the job around them.
Do you service multiple sites or ongoing contracts?
We do. We hold regular contracts with strata groups, facilities managers, and NDIS and aged care providers across Melbourne — scheduled maintenance rather than one-off cleans. One agreement, one point of contact, and a completion report for every site visit.
