Keeping your home clean on the outside is just as important as maintaining the inside. Over time, properties across Auckland are exposed to dirt, mould, mildew, and grime — all of which can affect both appearance and long-term condition.
Our professional house washing service is designed to safely restore the look of your home without causing damage. Using advanced soft washing techniques, we deliver a deep, long-lasting clean while protecting your surfaces.
What Is Professional House Washing?
House washing is a specialised exterior cleaning process that removes:
- Dirt and dust build-up
- Mould and mildew
- Algae and green staining
- Airborne pollutants and grime
In Auckland’s damp climate, these issues develop quickly — especially in shaded or coastal areas.
👉 As explained in our guide on why houses turn green in Auckland, moisture and organic growth are the main causes.
Our Soft Wash Method (Safe & Effective)
We specialise in soft washing, a modern cleaning method that combines:
- Low-pressure water
- Eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions
This approach:
- Breaks down dirt and grime
- Kills mould and algae at the root
- Prevents rapid regrowth
- Protects paint and surfaces
👉 Unlike high-pressure cleaning, soft washing delivers a thorough clean without risk of damage.
For a full breakdown of methods, see our comparison on soft washing vs water blasting.
Why Soft Washing Is Better Than High-Pressure Cleaning
Many homeowners think water blasting is the best solution — but that’s not always true.
❌ High-pressure cleaning:
- Can strip paint
- Forces water into cladding
- Doesn’t kill mould spores
- Short-term results
✅ Soft washing:
- Safe for all exterior surfaces
- Treats the root cause of growth
- Delivers longer-lasting results
- Protects your home
👉 This is why professionals like Metro Water Blasting use soft washing systems.
What’s Included in Our House Washing Service
Our exterior house washing service covers:
- Exterior walls and cladding
- Windows (external)
- Spouting and gutters (external rinse)
- Soffits and eaves
- Downpipes
👉 Every surface is carefully cleaned and rinsed, leaving your home looking fresh and spotless.
Common Signs Your Home Needs Washing
If you notice any of the following, it’s time to book a clean:
- Green staining on walls
- Black streaks under gutters
- Dirt and grime build-up
- Dull or faded exterior surfaces
👉 These are early signs of mould and algae growth, which can worsen over time.
How Often Should You Wash Your House?
In Auckland conditions:
- Every 6–12 months is recommended
- Homes in shaded or coastal areas may need more frequent cleaning
👉 Regular maintenance helps prevent heavy build-up and reduces long-term costs.
