Absolute House Wash
Frequently Asked Questions
Most homes in Wellington benefit from a full soft house washing every 1–2 years. Coastal or highly exposed properties (especially in Porirua, Lower Hutt, and parts of Johnsonville) usually need it every yearly because of salt spray and faster mold growth. We recommend a soft wash every 12–18 months to keep your home looking its best.
Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses specialized solutions to kill moss, mold, algae and lichen at the roots. Unlike traditional high-pressure washing, it won’t damage your paint, cladding, or weatherboard. In Wellington’s harsh climate, soft house washing gives longer-lasting results.
Yes, it’s much safer. Our soft washing process uses very low pressure and gentle yet powerful detergents that are specifically designed for NZ homes. It cleans thoroughly without stripping paint or etching surfaces.
Absolutely. Salt spray is one of the biggest issues for homes near the harbour and Cook Strait. Our soft washing solution is formulated to break down and remove salt residue, black mold streaks, and algae, leaving your home cleaner for much longer.
Yes, roof cleaning is one of our most popular services. We use gentle soft roof washing — never high pressure. This safely removes moss, algae, lichen and black mould while protecting your roof tiles, metal roofing and warranty.
Yes, we provide professional gutter cleaning as a standalone service or as part of a full exterior package.
Wellington’s heavy rainfall means blocked gutters can quickly cause overflow, leaks, and water damage to your fascia, soffits and even the interior of your home. Regular cleaning prevents costly repairs and keeps water flowing away from your house.
