Soft washing on Salt Spring Island uses controlled, low-pressure application of treatment solutions to kill moss, algae, and lichen at the biological level. The method is designed around the surface and the growth on it — not around brute force.
CHEMISTRY OVER FORCE.
Salt Spring properties face a mix of coastal humidity, mature tree canopy, and varied exposure. Soft washing addresses the biological growth that thrives in these conditions by treating the organism, not by blasting the surface beneath it.
Treatment is applied at low pressure — similar to a garden hose. The chemistry targets moss, algae, and lichen at the source. The growth dies, weakens, and releases through natural weather exposure over the following weeks and months.
Pressure washing forces water under shingles, strips granules off asphalt, and can crack or dislodge tiles. On siding, high pressure forces water behind the building envelope and can strip paint or etch stucco.
Soft washing treats the growth at the biological level without compromising the surface. The chemistry does the work — not the force.
TELL US BEFORE TREATMENT.
Properties on Salt Spring Island that use roof runoff for rainwater collection require that information to be identified during assessment so the treatment plan can account for the collection system and applicable product or manufacturer requirements.
Do not assume treatment chemistry is safe for potable-water systems without specific verification. Do not follow universal tank-disconnection or reconnection timing unless supported by the specific product instructions and treatment protocol. Tell us about your collection system and we will plan accordingly.
