House Washing in Lodi, CA
House washing in Lodi means safely removing a year of vineyard dust, Tule fog mildew, and highway film from your siding. Grime Getterz soft washes every home: low pressure and a detergent mix that kills organic growth instead of blasting at it. Wood, stucco, or vinyl, the finish stays intact.
Built for Lodi's housing stock
Lodi homes split into two camps. Central and west Lodi carry older craftsman and ranch homes with painted wood siding, which holds mildew in the grain and cannot take high pressure without stripping paint or forcing water behind the boards. The newer tracts on the east side are mostly stucco, which is porous and grabs dust and algae like a sponge. We soft wash both, adjusting detergent strength and dwell time to the surface, so a 1950s ranch on the west side gets treated differently than a 2005 stucco two-story near Highway 99.
What comes off
The tan film is vineyard dust from the surrounding Lodi AVA. It's heaviest after harvest. The green tint on north walls and under eaves is algae fed by winter Tule fog. Black spotting is mildew, and gray streaks near the east side are traffic film off 99. Our soft wash detergent breaks all of it down chemically, then we rinse it away at garden-hose pressure. The growth dies at the root, so the clean lasts longer than a pressure-only rinse.
What a house wash includes
Siding on all sides, soffits, eaves, gutters' exterior faces, and trim. We pre-wet and protect your landscaping, cover outlets and fixtures, and rinse everything down when we're done. Windows get a detergent rinse in the process; if you want them finished spot-free, ask about adding a pure-water window cleaning.
Questions We Actually Get
Is soft washing safe for old painted wood siding?
Yes. It's the only safe way. Low pressure won't lift paint or splinter the wood, and the detergent does the actual cleaning. High pressure on old Lodi wood siding is how you end up repainting.
When is the best time to wash a house in Lodi?
Spring, after Tule fog season has fed a winter of algae growth. Homes near vineyards often add a post-harvest wash in the fall to clear the dust load.
Will the detergent hurt my plants?
No. We pre-soak your landscaping with fresh water, control where the mix goes, and rinse everything thoroughly afterward. It's a standard part of every job.
How long does a house wash take?
Most single-story Lodi homes take two to three hours. Two-story homes and heavily soiled properties near vineyard edges run longer. We'll give you a time estimate with your written quote.
