A standard House Wash covers the appropriate exterior cladding, eaves and exterior details within the booked service.

Every House Wash also includes a full exterior Window Clean, including exterior glass, frames and sills.

The exact treatment depends on the surfaces and condition of the property.

The main things are clear access, closed windows and doors, laundry brought inside, pets kept safely away from the work area, and movable or fragile outdoor items cleared where practical.

For the full checklist:

Usually not. Exterior cleaning can generally be completed without you being present as long as we have the access we need and the property has been prepared for the service.

There is no single schedule that suits every Auckland home. Coastal exposure, shade, vegetation, surrounding trees and how quickly organic growth returns all make a difference.

For customers who prefer to stay ahead of the build-up, speak with our Squee:gee team to have House Washing and Window Cleaning on a regular schedule.

Soft Washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses a cleaning solution to break down dirt, mould, algae and organic grime before the surface is gently rinsed.

Because many home exterior surfaces do not need or suit high pressure.

Soft Washing allows the cleaning solution to do more of the work while using less physical force on painted and other appropriate exterior surfaces.

The current Soft Washing process uses sodium hypochlorite combined with a biodegradable house-wash surfactant. The mixture is adjusted according to the home, surface and condition.

No. Due to the associated risks, we do not provide House Washing for cedar homes. We recommend using a cedar maintenance specialist instead.

We take precautions around vegetation, including pre-wetting plants and keeping them appropriately rinsed and moist throughout the cleaning process.

Yes. Every Squee House Wash includes a full exterior Window Clean as standard, including the exterior glass, frames and sills.

It is a proper Window Clean, not simply a rinse as part of the House Wash.

Yes, where the surface is suitable.

Tell us about any driveway, path, patio or courtyard areas you would also like cleaned when booking and we can include the appropriate Pressure Washing.

Yes. We connect to the property's water supply and feed it into our equipment. A Soft Wash service typically used around 800 litres for a House Wash, although actual use can vary by property.

Yes. We need clear access around the exterior. Outdoor furniture, barbecues, pot plants, breakable items and anything that could obstruct access should be moved where practical.

Windows should also be fully closed and laundry brought inside before Soft Washing begins.

Let us know. Where it is reasonable and safe, the team may be able to help move larger items. Preparation requirements will be covered in the Getting Ready guide.

Light rain does not necessarily prevent exterior cleaning. If weather conditions make the planned work unsuitable or unsafe, we will contact you about the next step.

Yes. Soft Washing and Pressure Washing use purpose-built pumps and cleaning equipment, so there will be some operational noise while the work is underway.

No. House Washing removes surface dirt and organic build-up, but it cannot repair faded paint, oxidation, damaged coatings, deterioration or permanent staining.

If we see something that appears to be damage rather than ordinary build-up, we will tell you.
