House Washing Service Melbourne | Softwash & Pressure Clean

House Washing Melbourne

Your home’s exterior tells a story, and after years of Melbourne weather, it might not be the story you want. Dirt, grime, mould, and mildew build up over time, dulling your property’s appearance and potentially causing damage if left untreated.

At Exterior Clean Melbourne, we specialise in professional house washing services that bring your home back to life. Using safe, effective soft washing techniques, we remove years of buildup without the risk of damage that high-pressure cleaning can cause.

Why House Washing Matters

Your home is likely your biggest investment, and it deserves to look its best. Regular exterior cleaning isn’t just about curb appeal (though that’s a nice bonus); it’s about protection.

Melbourne homes are prone to mould and mildew growth, especially on south-facing walls. Left unchecked, these contaminants don’t just look bad; they can deteriorate surfaces and lead to costly repairs down the track. Regular house washing significantly delays the need for repainting and keeps your exterior surfaces in top condition for longer.

Our House Washing Process: Safe, Thorough, Effective

Here’s the thing about house washing: it’s not as simple as blasting everything with high pressure, which is a commonly used approach that will damage your cladding, paintwork, or render.

We take a smarter approach, one that’s safe for your home and delivers better, longer-lasting results.

How We Work

1. Pre-Treatment & Protection

Before we start, we move or cover anything that might be affected: outdoor furniture, potted plants, fixtures. We prep the area so your property stays protected throughout the clean.

2. Soft Wash Application

We apply an eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solution designed to break down dirt, grime, mould, and mildew at the source. This solution does the heavy lifting, killing mould spores and loosening contaminants so they wash away cleanly. We let it sit for a few minutes to work its magic.

3. Low-Pressure Rinse

Using warm or hot water (depending on your cladding type), we gently rinse your home from top to bottom. This includes:

Gutters (external)
Fascia boards and gables
Eaves and soffits
All external cladding (render, weatherboard, brick, etc.)
Downpipes

The warm water is especially effective on stubborn stains and grime, and the soft pressure ensures we never damage your surfaces.

4. Final Spot Check

We do a thorough inspection and hand-clean any spots we may have missed. Your home gets a complete clean with no shortcuts.

Why Soft Washing Beats High Pressure Every Time

High-pressure washing might seem like the quickest solution, but it’s also the riskiest. Too much pressure can strip paint, damage render, crack weatherboards, and force water into places it shouldn’t go.

Our soft washing method combines low pressure with powerful, safe cleaning solutions, so you get a deeper, longer-lasting clean without any of the risks. It’s gentler on your home and tougher on the grime.

We know how to treat every surface type:

Render requires a delicate touch and the right chemical balance
Brick needs different treatment than weatherboard
Painted surfaces demand care to protect the finish

Our team has the experience and know-how to get it right every time.

Tackle Mould & Mildew the Right Way

Here’s something most people don’t realise: pressure washing alone won’t remove mould or mildew. It might blast away the surface layer, but the spores stay behind, and they’ll be back in no time.

That’s why we use a custom-mixed mould and mildew treatment that kills the spores at the root. If your home’s dealing with this buildup, we’ll treat it properly so it doesn’t come back next season.

Sunil and Jesse were excellent. The roof looks great, the gutters and drains are clear, and they cleaned up after themselves. All done at a very reasonable rate.

-Benjamin Cronin

Exterior Clean Melbourne are meticulous in all aspects of their service delivery especially communication, timeliness, safety and effectiveness. Due to Covid we had extensive build up of mould and dirt on our atriums and skylights. The finished cleaning result brings a smile to my face each time I look at the work. Well done Sunil!

-John Scotton

Sunil and the crew from Exterior Clean did a complete clean of a property that I had just purchased in Montmorency. The house, being 5 years old with a Colorbond roof and Off White rendered facade was looking a little worse for wear.
They spent 2 days pressure cleaning the roof and gutters, (and installing gutter brushes for me), the facade, eaves, decks and handrails, all ready for us to move into.
The results were just unbelievable, looks like a brand new house.
I would highly recommend Exterior Clean for any cleaning project.
Thanks guys.
Regards,

-Mark Devitt - Montmorency

We got Sunil to clean our polycarbonate roof and were amazed at how well the roof looks afterwards. The lichen was stuck on pretty hard and it looked terrible just outside our back room. Not any more. The before and after photos tell the tale very well.

Sunil has been cleaning our roof and skylights for years. He is always very professional, thorough, courteous and passionate about what he does. Thanks again!

-Anthonyt984

I would highly recommend Exterior Clean. The whole process from quoting to completing the work was done in an efficient and professional manner. Great job Sunil and the boys, thank you!

-Jone576

Adam and James did a terrific job cleaning the gutters, solar panels, blinds and the exterior brickwork. They were punctual, professional and polite. I’m so glad I chose Exterior Clean.

-Maureenl363

Work performed was excellent. Sunil did a great job cleaning my rendered two story townhouse, pavements and windows. The render was particularly dirty but now is so clean looking and really adds to the attractiveness of the property. I had a similar cleaning done a couple of years before, but that fails far short of what Sunil accomplished. I couldn’t be more impressed with his professionalism, demeanour and friendly nature and the quality of the results.
