Rendered & Painted Walls

Render is one of the most common exterior surfaces in Sydney homes — and one of the most prone to mould and algae in shaded areas. A soft wash strips mould back to the surface without attacking the render itself. The result is striking: homes look like they've just been painted for a fraction of the cost.

Brick homes cleaned using high-pressure technique adapted to the brick type and condition. As Think Brick accredited specialists, we understand brick surface behaviour better than any generalist pressure cleaner. Efflorescence, lichen, and surface staining are all removed using the right approach for the specific brick.

Weatherboard & Timber Cladding

Timber cladding and weatherboard require a controlled, low-pressure soft wash — pressure that is too high splits paint, opens timber grain, and creates pathways for water ingress. We've cleaned hundreds of weatherboard homes across Sydney without a single damage complaint.

Colorbond & Steel Cladding

Modern cladding materials are durable but still accumulate mould and surface grime over time. We clean Colorbond, corrugated steel, and composite cladding using appropriate chemical pre-treatment and controlled pressure — leaving a clean finish with no surface damage or streaking.

Eaves, Fascia & Gutters (External)

Eaves and fascia boards attract mould and cobwebs faster than any other part of a home's exterior — and they're visible from street level. We clean roofline areas where accessible from ground level, including external gutter faces and downpipes.

How much does house washing cost in Sydney?

House washing in Sydney typically costs between $250 and $800 depending on the size of the home, the number of storeys, and the surface material. We provide fixed-price, no-obligation quotes. Call 0433 199 992 or submit a quote request.

What is the difference between soft wash and pressure washing?

Soft washing uses low pressure and cleaning solutions to safely remove mould, algae, and grime from delicate surfaces like render, painted weatherboard, and roofing. High-pressure washing uses greater water pressure and is suited to harder surfaces like brick and concrete. We assess your home and use the right method — or a combination — for each surface type.

How often should I wash my house exterior?

Most Sydney homes benefit from an exterior wash every 1 to 2 years. Homes in shaded areas, near trees, or in coastal areas with salt air may need cleaning annually to prevent mould and algae build-up.

Will pressure washing damage my render or paintwork?

Not when done by a professional. We adjust pressure settings for each surface. Render and painted surfaces are cleaned using soft wash technique at low pressure — high-pressure water is never used on these materials. We have never had a damage complaint in our years of service.

Exterior Cleaning That Makes Your Home Look New Again

Your home's exterior is the first thing people see. Mould, algae, pollution, and years of weathering build up on surfaces that are easy to forget — until the house starts to look tired, streaked, or older than it is.
Professional house washing in Sydney can be the most dramatic improvement you make to your property this year — without painting, without renovating, and without the cost of either. The Pressure Cleaning Co cleans all exterior surface types across Greater Sydney, using the right method for each material so nothing is damaged in the process.

Soft Wash vs High Pressure — Why the Difference Matters

The most common mistake in exterior home cleaning is applying the wrong pressure to the wrong surface. High pressure on render, painted weatherboard, or fibre cement causes permanent damage — peeling, cracking, and surface erosion.

This is where experience and the right equipment make all the difference.

● Render & painted surfaces: soft wash — low pressure plus a surface-safe solution. The chemistry does the work, not the force. Removes mould and algae without lifting paint or eroding render.

● Brick & masonry: high pressure where appropriate, using Think Brick accredited technique. Safe cleaning that won't void brick manufacturer warranties.

● Colorbond, metal cladding & steel: low-to-medium pressure with appropriate pre-treatment. No streaking, no surface marking.

● Weatherboard, timber & fibro (Hardiplank): specialist low-pressure soft wash. We never apply high pressure to timber or fibre cement — no exceptions.
