Texas weather brings plenty of sunshine and clear skies, but it also creates the perfect conditions for exterior grime to build up fast. With our high humidity, algae grows quickly. Storms blow debris against the house, and everyday pollution slowly dulls the exterior. That’s why we tell homeowners in Houston that routine exterior washing is an essential part of protecting your home.
At Geek Window Cleaning, we specialize in soft wash house washing designed specifically for Houston homes. We never use high pressure, because it can force water behind siding or damage stucco, Hardie plank, and brick. Every home we clean is soft washed with a controlled process that’s safe, effective, and built to protect your exterior. Our custom-blended detergents break down dirt and kill algae at the root while staying completely safe for plants and landscaping.
This approach does more than make your home look good. Soft washing restores curb appeal, prevents long-term deterioration, eliminates slippery buildup, and helps your exterior materials last longer. It’s the easiest way to keep your home clean and protected without taking unnecessary risks.

We look at things that might affect scheduling. For example, we need extra time for multi-story access and have to plan for different surfaces. The team must make sure the weather’s right, too.
We’ll carefully evaluate homes with cedar or pine siding and those with severe oxidation. The team won’t take on the job if they can’t deliver five-star results.
Every service starts by protecting your plants. We water the garden and cover delicate vegetation.
We use a low-pressure spray here so we don’t chip the texture off the side of the building. The technicians adjust the chemical concentration for these porous surfaces. We use a blend of sodium hypochlorite, degreaser, surfactants, and controlled dwell times to deliver streak-free results.
Using high pressure here will splinter the surface, so we dial things back. Soft washing removes algae and staining without forcing water in. Where necessary, we’ll scrub stubborn dirt.
Brick is porous, which means that organic buildup sinks in deeper. The team lets the solution sit for a little longer to lift the dirt. Soft washing preserves the mortar and prevents discoloration.

We typically use your home’s water supply for house washing. In some cases, we may supplement with our own water depending on the job and site conditions. This ensures consistent pressure and a smooth cleaning process without delaying your appointment.
We don’t wash wood homes because cedar and pine siding can be easily damaged by moisture intrusion, even with low-pressure methods. These materials absorb water quickly, making them unsafe for soft washing. To protect your home, we only clean surfaces that can be washed safely without risking damage.
We can wash oxidized siding, but oxidation removal isn’t included in a standard house wash. If oxidation is present, our technicians will point it out during the walkthrough and explain what’s required. From there, we help you decide whether to move forward or explore other options.
We use a professional soft-wash blend that includes sodium hypochlorite, surfactants, and degreasers when needed. These solutions are designed for exterior cleaning and break down organic growth safely and effectively. They are applied with controlled dwell times and always paired with thorough plant protection.
Runoff is diluted heavily and does not harm lawns or soil when proper precautions are taken. We pre-wet and post-rinse all landscaping so plants stay protected throughout the house washing process. This neutralizes any chemical residue and keeps surrounding vegetation safe.
