Keeping your home’s exterior looking fresh and well-maintained is essential in Charlotte’s humid climate, where mildew, algae, and dirt quickly build up on siding and trim. A professional house wash in Charlotte, NC not only enhances curb appeal but also protects your home’s surfaces from long-term damage.
At Zap It Wash, we specialize in soft washing and pressure washing services designed for local homes. Here’s a breakdown of what’s typically included in a professional house washing service.

1. Exterior Siding Cleaning
Your home’s siding takes the brunt of Charlotte’s changing weather. Professional house washing includes a complete soft wash of all siding materials—whether vinyl, brick, wood, or Hardie plank.
- Gentle low-pressure washing prevents surface damage
- Specialized detergents remove mildew, algae, and grime
- Rinsing leaves a streak-free, uniform clean
This process restores your home’s color and helps prevent organic growth from returning too quickly.
2. Soffit, Fascia, and Trim Washing
Professional house washing includes more than just siding. Technicians also clean soffits, fascia boards, trim, and eaves, removing cobwebs, dirt, and insect nests. This detail work ensures your entire exterior looks clean from top to bottom.
3. Gutter Face Cleaning
Over time, gutters develop dark “tiger stripes” caused by oxidation and runoff. A professional exterior wash includes gutter brightening to restore the original finish, improving both appearance and function.
4. Window and Frame Rinsing
As part of a complete house wash, professionals rinse windows, frames, and sills to remove any detergent overspray or grime buildup. This leaves your glass streak-free and enhances your home’s curb appeal.
5. Exterior Surface Sanitizing
Charlotte’s warm, damp conditions make it easy for mold and mildew to grow. Soft washing includes eco-friendly cleaning solutions that kill algae, bacteria, and organic growth on contact—keeping your home cleaner for longer without harsh chemicals.
6. Optional Add-On Services
Many homeowners choose to pair their house washing with additional exterior cleaning options such as:
- Driveway and sidewalk pressure washing
- Deck and patio cleaning
- Fence washing and restoration
- Roof soft washing
Bundling these services helps maintain a cohesive, spotless exterior while maximizing the value of your cleaning visit.
