Why Spring and Early Summer are Perfect for House Washing


House washing in the spring and early summer offers multiple advantages. The mild temperatures enable effective soft washing without rapid detergent evaporation, allowing the cleaning solution to work thoroughly. This timing also clears heavy pollen buildup from winter and spring, removes mold and mildew growth, and prepares your home's exterior for summer entertaining and outdoor activities.


The Benefits of Professional House Washing


  • Removes winter grime, pollen, and algae buildup

  • Eliminates mold and mildew that promote health issues

  • Enhances curb appeal before summer entertaining season

  • Protects siding from deterioration and extends its lifespan

  • Warm conditions promote fast drying without streaks


Eco-Friendly Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing


Glass House Window Cleaning uses eco-friendly soft washing techniques that target dirt, cobwebs, algae, lichen, mold, mildew, and more while keeping your siding and greenery safe. Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing is gentler on your home's exterior and provides longer-lasting results. Our methods are insurance-approved, and we provide service documentation upon request.


Our House Washing Service


House washing (soft wash) typically runs $450–$700 — $450 for a 2,000 sq ft home and $700 for a 4,000 sq ft home. That's standard siding, and bigger homes go up from there. Carson confirms the exact price after he looks at it. The service includes:

  • Complete soft washing of siding, soffits, and eaves

  • Eco-friendly cleaning solutions safe for your family and pets

  • Insurance-approved methods with service documentation

  • Workmanship Standard: if we miss an area or leave normal cleanable residue, tell us and we'll re-clean or touch it up
