Why regular house washing matters.

Many Northland homes benefit from a house wash about once a year. Coastal salt, nearby trees, shade and surface condition can mean some areas need attention more often. Follow the maintenance advice for your paint and cladding.

Mould, lichen and airborne salt deposits can affect the condition of painted surfaces. Resene’s maintenance guide recommends annual exterior cleaning to help maintain the appearance and life of its paint finishes. Washing removes contamination, but it does not repair damaged paint or replace repainting.

Coming home to freshly washed walls, clean joinery and fewer cobwebs can make the place feel cared for again. We’ll recommend the cleaning method for your surfaces and explain any limitations before work begins.

Getting it all clean and sparkly makes it look great and can also make you feel great.

A freshly washed home can feel brighter and better cared for. Let us handle the cleaning so you can spend your time on the things you would rather be doing.

We are all about providing clean and happy

Regular house washing helps care for your paintwork by removing dirt, salt and biological growth.

When things are dirty or mouldy, they look terrible and can be problematic to get clean if you do not have the know-how, gear, time or motivation.
‍
Living with a dirty house or building can create frustration and can negatively affect your mood. It can be challenging to know where to start, and often the thought of tackling it yourself can feel overwhelming.

An annual house wash helps maintain your paintwork
Follow the maintenance advice for your paint finish

Three reasons regular washing helps care for painted surfaces:

1. Airborne contaminants, including salt deposits, settle on your paint film, can attack the surface, and cause premature breakdown..

2. Moss, and lichen penetrate the surface of the paint, damaging its integrity. mould growth can destroy the chemical entity of the resin system that holds the paint system together.

3. The presence of moss, mould and lichen will also hold moisture on the surface longer, promoting further growth of these organisms and increasing the risk of damage to the coating.

The above 3 points are summarised from Resene Paints – Maintenance Guide..

Getting Blast Away Guys in to do a regular house wash is much cheaper than repainting your house sooner than needed.

Many of our clients will get us in 2 or 3 times a year just to give the place a quick flush, clear away any cobwebs, protect the paint and keep the place looking great.

So gentle, you can even do this

We only ever soft wash the cladding using a special nozzle as not to cause damage.

Water blasting and soft washing - what's the
difference?

Water blasting and soft washing both involve using a water blaster. However, the main difference is the pressure and products used.

Water Blasting involves water only being forced through a tiny nozzle hole, producing a high-pressure force of water better suited to surface preparation and concrete cleaning. If you use this sort of pressure to wash your house, you will likely do damage and force water into the materials you are washing.

Soft washing is carried out at much lower pressures. Not only is it softer it also includes the application of a salt-based (sodium) cleaning product that does a lot of the work to cut through grime, dirt and mould. This salt-based product used at the correct strength will remove stains and make things look bright, shiny and clean, without harsh pressure or excessive brushing.

Frequently asked
questions

>

Will soft washing damage my paint or weatherboards?

We assess the cladding, paint and joinery before choosing suitable products and low-pressure soft-washing methods. Tell us about leaks, loose paint, damaged surfaces or specific manufacturer care instructions. We discuss vulnerable areas and any limitations before work begins.

‍

>

What exactly is included in a house wash?

Our standard house wash includes your exterior walls, joinery, eaves, entrance alcoves, and the outside of your gutters and downpipes — everything from the ground up to the gutter line. We’ll also treat mould-prone areas as part of the wash (not as an extra) to help prevent regrowth and keep things looking good for longer.

>

How much does a house wash cost in Northland ?

The cost depends on the size of your home, the number of levels, access, cladding, surface condition and any additional work. Peak season runs from September to March, with off-peak pricing from April to August. Our house-washing price guide gives current guide prices. Your personalised quote confirms the scope and total price for your property.

‍

>

I’ve had a bad experience with another company. How are you different?

We hear this a lot. What sets us apart is our consistency, communication, and commitment to care. We show up when we say we will, do what we promise (and often more), and treat your home like it’s our own. You’ll notice the difference straight away.

>

When is the best time to get exterior cleaning done?

Exterior cleaning can be completed throughout most of the year. The best timing depends on the service, the surface and the weather. We avoid conditions that could make the work unsafe or reduce the effectiveness of a treatment, such as heavy rain or strong wind. If the weather affects your booking, we will contact you and arrange another suitable time.

>

Do I need to be home when you do the wash?

Not at all. Most of our customers aren’t home during their service — we just ask that gates are unlocked, windows are shut, and pets are secure. We’ll send friendly reminders and a profile of the technician coming to your place so you know exactly who to expect and when.

>

How long do the results last?

Our results don’t just look great on the day — they last. Because we use professional-grade treatments to kill mould spores and help prevent regrowth, you can expect a cleaner home for longer. Most homeowners only need a full house wash once a year.

>

How much does house washing cost in Whangarei?

The cost depends on the size of your home, how many levels it is, and how accessible it is. See our full pricing guide for a breakdown by house size, plus information on our off-peak rates and bundle deals.

>

How long does a house wash take?

Most standard single-level homes take between two and four hours. Larger or multi-level homes may take longer. You don't need to be home, just make sure gates are unlocked, windows are closed, and pets are secured inside.

>

How often should I get my house washed in northland?

Most homes in the Whangarei and Northland region benefit from a wash once a year. If your home is near the coast, surrounded by trees, or in a shaded spot prone to mould, twice a year is worth considering. Regular washing protects your paint and keeps maintenance costs down long term.

>

Do you service my area?

We cover all of Whangarei and the wider Northland region, including Kamo, Tikipunga, Kensington, Maunu, Whangarei Heads, Ruakaka, One Tree Point, Marsden Point, Tutukaka, Kerikeri, Paihia, and the Bay of Islands. Not sure if you're in our zone? Get in touch and we'll confirm.

>

Is soft washing safe for my weatherboards and paint?

We use low-pressure soft washing for exterior cladding and choose the cleaning method for the material, coating and condition. Loose or flaking paint, damaged cladding, older joinery and perished seals need particular care. Tell us about known issues when requesting your quote. If we identify a vulnerable area, we’ll explain the limitations and recommend a suitable approach before proceeding.
