Professional Soft Washing Services in the Des Moines Metro
At DiamondClean, we provide professional soft washing services designed to safely clean and restore delicate exterior surfaces without the risk of damage caused by high-pressure washing.

Our soft washing process removes these contaminants and helps restore your home or business to a cleaner, brighter appearance.
We proudly provide residential and commercial soft washing services throughout Ankeny, Des Moines, West Des Moines, Norwalk, Ames, Indianola, Carlisle, and surrounding communities across Central Iowa.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, mold, mildew, bacteria, dirt, and buildup from surfaces that could be damaged by traditional pressure washing.
Unlike high-pressure cleaning, soft washing focuses on treating and eliminating organic growth at the source instead of simply blasting it off the surface.
Soft washing is commonly used for:
House siding
Roofs
Vinyl siding
Stucco
Painted surfaces
Gutters
Fences
Outdoor furniture
Delicate exterior materials
Soft washing helps clean your property thoroughly while protecting the integrity of your home’s exterior.
Residential Soft Washing Services
Your home’s exterior constantly faces Iowa weather, moisture, pollen, algae, and airborne contaminants. Over time, green algae, black streaks, and dirt buildup can make even beautiful homes look aged and neglected.
DiamondClean offers residential soft washing services for:

Roof Soft Washing
Black streaks and dark stains on roofs are often caused by algae growth, especially in humid environments and shaded areas. Traditional pressure washing can damage roofing materials and shorten the life of your roof.

How Often Should You Soft Wash Your Home?
Most homes in Iowa benefit from professional soft washing every 1–2 years depending on moisture exposure, tree coverage, shade, and algae growth.
Homes with heavy shade, nearby trees, or high humidity often experience algae and mildew growth more quickly and may require more frequent cleanings.
Commercial properties may schedule recurring maintenance cleanings to maintain a clean and professional appearance year-round.
