HOUSE WASH FAQs
Q. Why should we get our House Washed?
Your home is one of your biggest investments — and it deserves the care that keeps it looking its best, year after year. At Mount Gravatt Pressure Cleaning, our professional soft house washing service delivers more than just a clean exterior — it provides protection, beauty, and peace of mind.
✨ 1. Restore Your Home’s Beauty
Dirt, dust, cobwebs, mold, mildew, and air pollution gradually dull the appearance of your home. Our soft washing method gently lifts away years of grime, reviving your exterior and bringing back its original charm.
💧 2. Protect Your Paint & Surfaces
Our soft-wash technique uses low-pressure water and eco-friendly detergents, safe for painted surfaces, timber, and cladding. This helps preserve your finishes — unlike harsh DIY high-pressure cleaning that can chip paint or cause damage.
🧼 3. Prevent Mold & Mildew Damage
Queensland’s warm, humid climate is the perfect breeding ground for mold and algae. Left untreated, these can stain walls and cause long-term damage to paint and even underlying materials. A routine wash prevents this buildup and keeps your home healthier.
🧹 4. Maintain Property Value & Street Appeal
Whether you're selling, renting, or just taking pride in your home — a fresh, clean exterior gives the best impression. House washing is an easy, affordable way to boost curb appeal and keep your property looking cared for.
👷 5. Done Safely & Professionally
Our experienced team follows strict OH&S guidelines and uses industry-best equipment. We clean every surface with care, including eaves, gutters, walls, windows, and trims — leaving nothing behind but a spotless finish.
