Soft Wash House Washing in Lakeland, FL
Florida’s heat, humidity, and afternoon storms are hard on the outside of your home. Dirt, pollen, bugs, algae, mold, and mildew build up on siding, stucco, soffits, and trim, leaving your home looking faded, dingy, and older than it is. Left alone, that buildup can stain and wear down the surfaces you paid to protect.
For homeowners who want house washing in Lakeland, FL done right, Top Down Exterior Cleaning uses a low-pressure soft wash that gently removes the grime without damaging your paint, stucco, or screens. We are insured, locally owned, and have been serving Lakeland since 2010.

How Our Soft Wash Protects Your Home
Florida humidity keeps the outside of your home damp, and as the EPA explains, moisture is exactly what mold needs to grow. That is why green film and black spots keep coming back on Lakeland siding and stucco. Blasting them with high pressure can drive water behind your siding and strip your paint. Top Down Exterior Cleaning uses a soft wash system built specifically for house washing. Our cleaning solution breaks down mold, mildew, algae, pollen, and dirt at the source, then we rinse with low-pressure, high-volume water and use pressure only where it is safe. The result is a deep clean that brings back your home’s shine without damaging your paint, stucco, screens, or trim.
Cleaners Made for House Washing
We use detergents designed specifically for siding and stucco, with polymers and gloss enhancers that lift grime and help restore your exterior's luster.
Low-Pressure, High-Volume Rinse
Instead of blasting your home, we rinse with plenty of water at low pressure and only use more pressure where a surface can safely handle it.
Optional Protective Sealant
After your house wash, we can apply a protective sealant that helps your freshly cleaned surfaces stay cleaner and brighter for longer.
Make Your House Wash Last Longer
In Lakeland’s heat and humidity, mold and mildew start creeping back onto siding and stucco fast. That is why we offer Plex Master, a protective sealant made from a blend of silicone and mildew retardant, as an add-on to any house washing service in Lakeland, FL. It locks in your fresh clean, slows down regrowth on every surface, and keeps your home looking brighter between washes.
Washes That Last Up to Twice as Long
With Plex Master applied, we are seeing house washes last up to twice as long before mold and mildew return.
Spot-Free Windows
The sealant creates a beading action similar to Rain-X, so water rolls off and your windows stay virtually spot free.
Protect Curb Appeal and Property Value
Left untreated, mold, mildew, and algae can permanently stain and wear down your exterior. Regular washing keeps your home looking its best and protects its value.

Lakeland House Washing Questions Answered
Straight answers to the questions Lakeland homeowners ask us most before booking a house wash.
Should I have my house washed before painting it?
Can you remove orange rust stains from sprinklers or well water?
Those orange streaks on stucco and siding are common in Lakeland and usually come from iron in irrigation or well water. They are a different kind of stain than mold or mildew and need a different cleaner to remove. Let us know about them when you request your estimate so we can look at the stains and plan the right treatment.
Can you wash stucco, vinyl siding, and brick homes?
Yes. We wash all of the common exterior surfaces found on Lakeland homes, including stucco, vinyl siding, fiber cement siding, painted block, and brick. Each surface is cleaned with the right solution and rinse for that material, along with your soffits, fascia, trim, and exterior doors, so the whole outside of your home looks evenly clean.
When is the best time of year to wash my house in Florida?
Many Lakeland homeowners schedule a house wash in late spring, after pine and oak pollen season, to clear the yellow film before the rainy summer months. That said, mold and mildew grow year round in Central Florida, so the best time is really as soon as you notice green or black buildup, or before a big event, holiday, or home sale.
Do I need to be home during my house wash?
Not usually. As long as we can reach an outdoor water spigot and your gates are unlocked, we can wash your home while you are at work or running errands. We just ask that you close all windows and doors, move cars away from the house, and keep pets inside until we finish. We will let you know when the job is done.
Do you wash commercial buildings and apartment complexes?
Yes. Along with homes, we clean businesses and multi-family properties across Lakeland and Polk County. Learn more about our commercial building washing and apartment complex pressure washing services, or call us to set up a free estimate for your property.
