# 501 Soft Washing — Frequently Asked Questions

## General

**How does a free estimate work?**

Call and we estimate it remotely for free. 501 Soft Washing gives free remote estimates everywhere. Free in-person estimates cover the Fairfield Bay, Clinton, and Shirley area. Farther out, we prefer remote, or you can pay $100 for an in-person estimate, deducted from your quote if you accept the job.

**Do you clean homes and businesses?**

Yes, both. 501 Soft Washing cleans everything, residential and commercial, from houses, roofs, decks, fences, and driveways to offices and storefronts.

**What’s the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?**

Soft washing is low pressure with cleaning solution. 501 Soft Washing uses low pressure and cleaning solution on roofs and siding, and pressure on concrete. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association says not to use a power washer on roof algae.

**Are you insured, and is the work guaranteed?**

Yes to both. 501 Soft Washing is insured and guarantees the work, with 5.0 stars on Google.

**What towns do you serve?**

Towns around Greers Ferry Lake. 501 Soft Washing works in Clinton, Fairfield Bay, Greers Ferry, Heber Springs, Mountain View, and Shirley, plus Van Buren, Stone, Searcy, Cleburne, and Faulkner counties.

**Can you do other work on the same call?**

Yes, one call covers it. Along with exterior cleaning, 501 Soft Washing does deck and fence staining and sealing, window cleaning, painting, home repairs, and handyman work.

## Soft Washing

**What is soft washing?**

Cleaning with low pressure and a cleaning solution. 501 Soft Washing uses it on siding, roofs, brick, stone, and wood. The solution does the cleaning, not the force of the water.

**What’s the difference between a pressure washer and a soft washer?**

The pressure. A pressure washer cleans with force. A soft wash cleans with a solution at low pressure. 501 Soft Washing soft washes roofs and siding and uses pressure on concrete.

**What psi is a soft wash?**

There’s no official number. Companies publish figures from under 500 psi up to 2,000 psi. A cleaning solution doing the work at low pressure is what makes it a soft wash. That’s how 501 Soft Washing cleans siding and roofs.

**When should you not power wash your house?**

When the surface can’t take the pressure. State Farm warns pressure can get water under siding and break windows, and Consumer Reports says it can damage paint. 501 Soft Washing soft washes those surfaces at low pressure.

**Can you power wash a brick house?**

Yes, at low pressure. High pressure can take out the mortar between bricks, so 501 Soft Washing soft washes brick and saves pressure for concrete.

**How much does soft washing cost?**

It’s quoted per job. 501 Soft Washing doesn’t publish a price list. You get a price after a free estimate, remote everywhere and in person in the Fairfield Bay, Clinton, and Shirley area.

**What are the green and black stains on my siding?**

Usually algae and mildew. Green is usually algae, gray or black spotting is often mildew, and long black streaks under the roofline are commonly roof runoff. 501 Soft Washing cleans siding and roofs on the same call.

**Can you soft wash wood siding and cabins?**

Yes. 501 Soft Washing soft washes wood. Consumer Reports says pressure can nick or etch wood and that softwoods like Southern yellow pine need a low-pressure nozzle.

**Do you soft wash businesses too?**

Yes, homes and businesses both. 501 Soft Washing washes offices and storefronts too. One Heber Springs office was quoted remotely and washed before a Monday meeting.

**How often should a house be soft washed?**

There’s no fixed schedule. Some customers of 501 Pressure Washing, our sister company, book a soft wash every year. Ask 501 Soft Washing about your house when you call.

**Who actually shows up to do the job?**

The owner. 501 Soft Washing is based at 3011 Summer Hill Pl in Fairfield Bay, and its owner shows up and does the job.

## House Washing

**What is house pressure washing?**

Cleaning a house with high-pressure water. The force of the water does the cleaning, and that force is what manufacturers warn about on siding. 501 Soft Washing washes houses at low pressure instead.

**Is 3000 PSI too much for a house?**

Yes, for vinyl and brick. The Brick Industry Association says not to go past 400 psi on brick unless the brick’s manufacturer permits it. 501 Soft Washing soft washes houses, so high psi isn’t part of the job.

**Can pressure washing get water behind my siding?**

Yes. Water forced up under the laps can sit behind the panels, then drain out the weep holes and drag dirt streaks down a clean wall. 501 Soft Washing’s soft wash is low pressure.

**How often should I get my house washed?**

Some customers book it every year. Reviews on 501 Pressure Washing, our sister company, mention a yearly wash. James Hardie says to hose its siding every 6-12 months. Ask 501 Soft Washing about your house.

**Is power washing your house worth it?**

Yes, when algae or mildew is on the walls. A wash takes that growth off. 501 Soft Washing gives you a free remote estimate first, so you can see the price before you decide.

**How much does it cost to wash a house?**

It’s priced per house. 501 Soft Washing gives you a number after a free remote estimate. In the Fairfield Bay, Clinton, and Shirley area, an in-person estimate is free too.

**Why is my siding green on one side of the house?**

It’s most often algae. Algae is especially common on north-facing walls, which get less sun and stay damp longer. Long black streaks under the roofline are often roof runoff, so 501 Soft Washing can do roof cleaning on the same call.

**When does mildew grow on a house?**

Anywhere from 32 to 105 F. The University of Arkansas says mildew thrives at 75-90 F in damp, sheltered spots. Gray or black spotting on siding is often mildew, and 501 Soft Washing washes it off.

**Why does my siding look chalky?**

It’s usually oxidation. Sun and weather leave a dull, powdery film, which CertainTeed calls “a common occurrence for all pigmented materials.” Bleach left to dry on vinyl can mark it too. 501 Soft Washing talks oxidized siding through before work starts.

**Will a house wash take the black stripes off my gutters?**

Not on its own. Those tiger stripes are oxidation marks on the gutter finish, so pressure washing doesn’t lift them. Tell 501 Soft Washing about them when you call, and they’ll get talked through before the work starts.

**Do you wash cabins, condos, and business buildings?**

Yes. 501 Soft Washing cleans homes and businesses, and one Heber Springs office was quoted remotely and washed before a Monday meeting. On a condo, ask your association who owns the wall.

## Roof Cleaning

**Is roof cleaning necessary?**

It is for moss. For algae, it’s mostly about looks. ARMA says moss can lift shingle edges and cause leaks, while algae mainly hurts how a standard shingle roof looks. 501 Soft Washing cleans roofs with either one.

**What chemical is used to soft wash a roof?**

ARMA recommends diluted household bleach. Household bleach is sodium hypochlorite. ARMA says to leave it on 15 to 20 minutes, rinse gently, and skip the scrubbing. Ask 501 Soft Washing what goes on your roof when you call.

**Will cleaning my roof void the shingle warranty?**

Your shingle manufacturer can answer that for your roof. ARMA sends questions about a manufacturer’s requirements to that manufacturer. GAF’s bulletin TAB-R-102 advises against pressure washing shingles, and 501 Soft Washing washes them at low pressure.

**How long does a roof cleaning last?**

There’s no set number of years. ARMA says the stain may return, and algae and moss like damp shade. It points to pruning trees for sun and keeping gutters clear. 501 Soft Washing can clean the roof again if it does.

**How much does roof cleaning cost?**

Each roof is quoted on its own. 501 Soft Washing has no published roof price. Remote estimates are free, and so are in-person estimates around Fairfield Bay, Clinton, and Shirley.

**Can you clean a metal roof?**

Yes, metal roofs get a low-pressure wash. 501 Soft Washing cleans them. For its stone-coated metal roofs, DECRA sets a 500 PSI limit and warns against copper- and iron-based cleaners. Your panel maker’s guide may differ.

**Can I clean my roof myself?**

You can, but ARMA recommends a professional. Cleaning makes a roof slippery, ARMA says. 501 Soft Washing is insured, and the owner shows up and does the job.

**Do zinc or copper strips keep algae off a roof?**

ARMA doesn’t recommend adding them to an existing roof. Installing them leaves nails exposed or breaks the sealant bond. Algae-resistant shingles are an option at replacement, and 501 Soft Washing can wash the roof you have now.

## Pressure Washing

**Will pressure washing damage concrete or brick?**

It can, if the pressure’s too high. Etching on concrete is permanent, and brick takes far less pressure than concrete. 501 Soft Washing is insured, and the work is guaranteed.

**What’s the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?**

The pressure, and what does the cleaning. One trade guide puts pressure washing at 2,500 to 4,000 psi and soft washing at 60 to 100 psi with a cleaning solution. Water forced behind siding can cause rot or mold, so 501 Soft Washing soft washes siding.

**Is pressure washing the same as power washing?**

Yes. Wikipedia treats the two names as the same thing, though some trade pages use power washing to mean hot water. Call 501 Soft Washing for either one.

**Why does concrete get stripes after pressure washing?**

Usually from a wand on a big slab. Trade guides call them zebra stripes. A surface cleaner, a shrouded spinning bar, keeps an even distance from the slab, and the wand is for edges and detail. Ask 501 Soft Washing about your slab at your free estimate.

**How often should concrete be pressure washed?**

About once a year. Most trade pages say that, and more often where algae grows. 501 Soft Washing can look at your concrete on a free remote estimate.

**How much does pressure washing cost?**

It’s quoted per job. 501 Soft Washing prices each driveway, walk, or building after a free estimate. Remote estimates are free everywhere we work.

**Do you need hot water to clean concrete?**

Usually not, unless there’s grease. Wikipedia says cold water is the usual choice for residential work and hot water suits grease and oil. Tell 501 Soft Washing about any oil stains when you call.

**Can you pressure wash new concrete?**

Not until it’s cured. Sources disagree on how long that takes, so tell 501 Soft Washing how old your driveway or slab is when you call.

**Do I need to seal my driveway after pressure washing?**

Several trade pages suggest it. They say a sealer can help, and no one rule fits every driveway. Ask 501 Soft Washing about yours at your free estimate.

**Should I rent a pressure washer and do it myself?**

You can, with care. Trade pages warn that rental washers often lack proper pressure control. 501 Soft Washing gives free remote estimates, so you can compare the cost before you rent.

**What happens if something gets damaged?**

501 Soft Washing is insured. The work is guaranteed too, and anything that needs addressing gets raised with you before the job starts.

## Driveway & Concrete Cleaning

**How much does it cost to clean a driveway?**

It’s priced per job. 501 Soft Washing prices each driveway after a free estimate and doesn’t publish a price list. Remote estimates are free everywhere we work.

**How often should you pressure wash your concrete?**

Every year or two is the common advice. Concrete under trees regrows first, so it can need a wash sooner. Tell 501 Soft Washing how much shade your driveway gets.

**What PSI do you need to clean a concrete driveway?**

One guide says 2,500 to 3,000 psi for most homes. The same guide says 1,800 psi moves loose dirt, pollen, and early mildew. Tip, distance, and technique matter too. Ask 501 Soft Washing about your driveway when you call.

**How soon can you pressure wash new concrete?**

After about 28 days. New concrete needs that long to cure. Give 501 Soft Washing the pour date when you call.

**Do I need to seal concrete after pressure washing?**

If you seal it, wait until it’s dry. The American Society of Concrete Contractors says to clean, rinse, and dry it thoroughly first. Contractors’ guides put the wait at 24 to 72 hours. Tell 501 Soft Washing if you plan to seal.

**Does 501 Soft Washing pressure wash driveways?**

Yes. Soft washing is in the name, and 501 Soft Washing pressure washes concrete too. Isabel Ryan’s Google review is about her driveway.

**What about oil stains, rust, and tire marks?**

Point them out when you call. Customers ask 501 Soft Washing about all three, so tell us where they are. Remote estimates are free everywhere we work.

**Do you clean sidewalks and concrete at businesses?**

Yes, residential and commercial. 501 Soft Washing cleans both across Van Buren, Stone, Searcy, Cleburne, and Faulkner counties.

## Deck & Fence Cleaning

**Should you power wash a deck?**

Yes, at low pressure with a wide fan tip. The USDA Wood Handbook accepts power washing, “particularly if low pressure is used.” 501 Soft Washing cleans wood decks for homes and businesses, and the work is guaranteed.

**Should you pressure wash a fence?**

Yes, if the pressure suits the fence. Trex says more than 1,500 psi, or a tip closer than 12 inches, could damage a Trex fence and void the warranty. Tell 501 Soft Washing what your fence is made of when you call.

**How long should a deck dry after cleaning before you stain it?**

Usually 2 to 3 dry days. Wash Mastery says 48 to 72 hours, and 72 or more for cedar. Deck-care sites say 3 to 5 days in humid or cool weather, and rain resets the clock. 501 Soft Washing also does deck and fence staining and sealing.

**What happens if you stain a pressure-treated deck too soon?**

The stain won’t soak in. New treated wood has to dry first. Sprinkle water on the boards: if it beads, they’re not ready, and if it soaks in within a minute or two, they are. Ask 501 Soft Washing about staining when you call.

**Can you pressure wash a Trex deck?**

Yes on Transcend, Enhance, and Select. Trex says no more than 3,100 psi and a fan tip no closer than 8 inches. It doesn’t recommend pressure washers on Accents, Origins, Contours, Profiles, or Brasilia. Tell 501 Soft Washing which line you have.

**How much does deck or fence cleaning cost?**

It’s quoted per job. 501 Soft Washing doesn’t publish deck or fence prices. You get a price for your job after a free estimate, remote everywhere and in person in the Fairfield Bay, Clinton, and Shirley area.

**What if my deck boards are soft or rotten?**

We repair decks too. A reply on a HomeOwnersHub deck forum says to press a screwdriver into the board, and if it sinks in, the board may need replacing. 501 Soft Washing does deck repairs.

**Do you clean decks and fences at businesses?**

Yes, homes and businesses both. 501 Soft Washing takes residential and commercial jobs across Van Buren, Stone, Searcy, Cleburne, and Faulkner counties, and the owner shows up and does the job.

## Deck & Fence Staining & Sealing

**Is it better to seal or stain a deck?**

Stain lasts longer in the sun. Pigment in stain shields the wood and its mildewcide from sunlight, the USDA Forest Products Laboratory says, and that’s what extends its life. 501 Soft Washing does both.

**How long should you wait to stain pressure treated wood?**

Up to a year, and sources differ. Sherwin-Williams says new pressure-treated wood won’t let coatings adhere well. The Forest Products Laboratory says two months to a year, and Angi says a year. Tell 501 Soft Washing when your deck was built.

**What is the best stain for a wooden deck?**

A penetrating semi-transparent stain. The USDA Forest Products Laboratory says a semi-transparent oil stain won’t blister or peel even if moisture gets into the wood. Ask 501 Soft Washing which finish suits your boards.

**Can you apply stain over stain on a deck?**

Yes, if the old finish isn’t peeling. Consumer Reports says solid stain can go over any stain, but semi-transparent can’t go over solid. Tell 501 Soft Washing what’s on your deck now.

**What is the best time of year to stain a deck?**

A dry stretch between 50 and 90 degrees. Cabot says air and wood should both be 50 to 90 degrees, out of direct sun, with no rain expected for 12 to 24 hours. Call 501 Soft Washing to talk through your deck.

**How much does deck staining cost?**

You get a price after a free estimate. 501 Soft Washing doesn’t publish a price list. Remote estimates are free everywhere, and in-person estimates are free in the Fairfield Bay, Clinton, and Shirley area.

**How long does deck stain last?**

About two to three years for semi-transparent. That’s Consumer Reports’ estimate for a deck. Deck-stain guides give one to two years for transparent and three to seven for solid. They’re outside figures, not a promise from 501 Soft Washing.

**How long should a deck dry before staining?**

At least one to three days, longer in damp weather. Sherwin-Williams says one or two days and Cabot says two to three. If a drop of water soaks in, the wood’s ready; if it beads, it needs longer. 501 Soft Washing stains dry wood only.

**How many coats of stain does a deck need?**

One coat of oil-based stain on a new deck, Cabot says. Cabot also says “more stain is not better,” because extra can peel, crack, or stay sticky. 501 Soft Washing talks through the finish before the work starts.

**Do you stain fences too?**

Yes, wood fences as well as decks. 501 Soft Washing stains and seals fences. Fence-company guides say kiln-dried cedar can take stain in a week or two, and treated pine in 4 to 8 weeks.

**Can you repair my deck before staining it?**

Yes. 501 Soft Washing does deck repairs as part of its home repair and handyman work, so a repair and a stain can go on the same call.

## Window Cleaning

**Should the siding get washed before the windows?**

Most window cleaners say yes. On the WindowCleaner.com forum, most replies wash siding first, because runoff streaks clean glass. 501 Soft Washing does both house washing and window cleaning.

**Why do water spots keep coming back on my windows?**

Usually a sprinkler. Pilkington says glass stains when run-down water dries on it and stays there. Window cleaners on Reddit point to sprinklers as the typical cause. Mention any sprinklers when you call 501 Soft Washing.

**How can I tell a window seal has failed?**

Fog or dust between the panes. A window warranty guide on Lowe’s site describes a failed unit as a moisture film or dust between the panes. Tell 501 Soft Washing about any window like that when you call.

**How often should house windows be washed?**

There’s no fixed schedule. One Washington window cleaner says tree-covered homes need three to four cleanings a year instead of two. Ask 501 Soft Washing about your house on a free remote estimate.

**Can I clean my windows with dish soap?**

Yes, a mild one. Milgard’s warranty says to clean glass with mild dish soap and water and to avoid direct sunlight. 501 Soft Washing cleans windows for homes and businesses if you’d rather not.

**How much does window cleaning cost?**

It’s quoted per job. Call (501) 550-8465, describe the windows, and 501 Soft Washing gives you a price after a free remote estimate. No price list is published.

**Where does 501 Soft Washing clean windows?**

Across five Arkansas counties. 501 Soft Washing works out of 3011 Summer Hill Pl in Fairfield Bay and covers Van Buren, Stone, Searcy, Cleburne, and Faulkner counties.

**Can I add house washing or deck cleaning to a window cleaning call?**

Yes, ask for all of it. 501 Soft Washing also does deck and fence cleaning and roof cleaning, so one call to (501) 550-8465 can cover the whole list.

## Painting

**Should I power wash before painting?**

Yes, then let it dry. Sherwin-Williams says to wash off dirt, mildew, and loose paint, then give the surface 24 to 48 hours to dry. Ask 501 Soft Washing about washing yours.

**Can I just paint over old exterior paint?**

Only if it’s sound. Chalk, mildew, and loose paint have to come off first. New paint bonds to chalk dust instead of the house, HousePaintingGuide.org says. Call 501 Soft Washing about yours.

**When should you not paint a house exterior?**

Right after rain, in fog, or below 50 F. Those limits come from Sherwin-Williams, unless the product allows otherwise. Ask 501 Soft Washing about timing for your house when you call.

**Which type of paint is best for the outside?**

100% acrylic latex, for most siding. Angi and contractor guides call it the usual pick in humid climates, with oil or alkyd for doors, trim, and metal. Ask 501 Soft Washing what suits your house.

**Do I really need primer before painting?**

On bare wood, patches, and stains, yes. Family Handyman calls for it, and an unprimed patch can show flat or shiny through the paint. 501 Soft Washing does the drywall repairs and the painting.

**How much does it cost to paint a house?**

It’s quoted per job. 501 Soft Washing prices each paint job after a free estimate, remote everywhere and in person around Fairfield Bay, Clinton, and Shirley.

**Do I need approval to change my house color in Fairfield Bay?**

It can take written approval. Fairfield Bay’s covenants call for Architectural Control Committee approval of exterior changes in writing, and 30 days of silence counts as approved. Settle that before 501 Soft Washing or any painter starts.

**Who does the painting?**

The owner. One Reddit homeowner’s crew never came back for touch-ups. 501 Soft Washing’s owner shows up and does the job, the company’s insured, and the work is guaranteed.

## Handyman & Home Repairs

**How much does a handyman charge?**

It depends on the job. 501 Soft Washing doesn’t publish repair prices. You get a quote for your job after a free remote estimate.

**What are some red flags when hiring a handyman?**

No written contract, or a demand for full payment up front. The Arkansas Attorney General warns against anyone who demands full payment before the work is finished, and says to get a contract signed by both parties first. Ask 501 Soft Washing about any of this during your free estimate.

**How long does a drywall repair take?**

It depends on the size of the hole. Drywall repair guides put small holes at 1 to 2 hours. Bigger repairs need several coats of joint compound with drying time between, so a job can span days. Tell 501 Soft Washing the size of yours when you call.

**Why does a drywall patch show through paint?**

The texture or paint doesn’t match. HomeGuide names that as the usual failure on do-it-yourself patches. Ask about a patch that’s showing during 501 Soft Washing’s free estimate.

**Is it cheaper to repair or replace a deck?**

Usually repair, while the frame is sound. Deck contractors’ guides say to replace once repairs pass about half the price of a new deck, or when rot reaches the joists, ledger, or posts. 501 Soft Washing does deck repairs and gives free remote estimates.

**Does 501 Soft Washing do other home repairs?**

Yes. 501 Soft Washing’s home repairs go beyond drywall, decks, and painting. Call (501) 550-8465 and tell us what’s on your list.

**Should you patch drywall over water damage?**

No, and the same goes for mold. Repair guides say not to patch over either one. Tell 501 Soft Washing about any stains on the wall when you call.

**How can a deck look fine and still need repair?**

Rot can hide under the boards. Moisture damage can sit in the joists, posts, and ledger board that ties a deck to the house. Greers Ferry Dam averages 53.38 inches of rain a year, which speeds rot. Ask 501 Soft Washing about your deck when you call.

## Greers Ferry

**Can you wash wood cabin siding?**

Yes, with low pressure. 501 Soft Washing uses low pressure and cleaning solution on siding, wood cabin siding included. Too much pressure leaves wood with a furry surface.

**Can pressure washing damage a roof?**

Yes, and shingle manufacturers warn against it. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association says not to use a power washer or any brush or broom on roof algae. 501 Soft Washing cleans roofs with low pressure and cleaning solution.

**How often should a lake rental be washed?**

Once or twice a year for decks and driveways. That’s what Lodgify’s vacation rental maintenance guide says. 501 Soft Washing washes rentals, cabins, and lake homes around Greers Ferry Lake.

19.1 miles by road. 501 Soft Washing is based in Fairfield Bay, and the drive to Clinton runs along AR 16, AR 9, and US 65.

**How does a soft wash system work?**

Low pressure and cleaning solution do the work. 501 Soft Washing uses that method on roofs and siding, and uses pressure on concrete.

**Do I need to soft wash my roof?**

If it has black streaks, soft wash it. Those streaks are usually algae, and the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association says not to use a power washer on roof algae. 501 Soft Washing cleans roofs with low pressure and cleaning solution.

**Is your work in Clinton insured and guaranteed?**

Yes to both. 501 Soft Washing is insured, the work is guaranteed, and the listing holds 5.0 on Google.
