Professional Soft Washing Services in Mooresville & Lake Norman, NC
Steam On Wheels specializes in advanced soft washing—a low-pressure sanitization method that delivers a deeper, longer-lasting clean on roofs, siding, painted surfaces, and outdoor living spaces across North Carolina.
While high pressure can blast away paint, pit stucco, and loosen shingle granules, soft washing relies on scientifically balanced, biodegradable surfactants that dissolve organic growth at the root before being gently rinsed away.

The Science of Soft Washing in the Piedmont Climate
The warm, humid climate of Lake Norman and Iredell County accelerates the growth of micro-organisms like Gloeocapsa magma (cyanobacteria), green algae, and Aspergillus niger mold on building exteriors.
High-pressure washing is purely mechanical—it blasts away visible organic growth but leaves microscopic roots intact inside porous siding and roofing materials, causing algae to return quickly.
Soft washing combines gentle water pressure (under 100 PSI) with specialized sodium hypochlorite solutions and surfactants. This sanitizes the substrate completely, neutralizing bacteria and giving homeowners results that last significantly longer.
