Anchor Pro Wash uses professional soft washing to safely remove algae, mildew, oxidation, and dirt from your home's exterior. We protect your siding, paint, and trim while delivering a deep, lasting clean that restores curb appeal.
High-pressure washing can crack caulk, force water behind siding, strip paint, and void manufacturer warranties. Soft washing solves this by using low pressure combined with a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills algae, mildew, and bacteria at the root rather than blasting them off the surface.
The result is a cleaner home that stays clean longer. Because soft washing eliminates the organisms causing the staining rather than just rinsing them away, results typically last two to four times longer than pressure washing alone.
Anchor Pro Wash uses soft washing on all home exteriors in Traverse City and Northern Michigan, regardless of siding type. It is the safest, most effective method available for residential house washing.
We walk the property, identify problem areas, and protect landscaping, windows, and outdoor fixtures before any solution is applied.
A biodegradable soft wash solution is applied at low pressure to all exterior surfaces. It immediately begins breaking down algae, mildew, and organic buildup.
The solution dwells on the surface to kill growth at the root. We then rinse thoroughly with low-pressure water, flushing all residue and dead organic matter away.
We inspect the entire exterior with you to confirm results. Any areas that need a second pass are addressed before we leave.
Every exterior surface on your home is handled with the appropriate method and pressure level. We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach.
Low-pressure soft wash removes algae streaks, mildew, and oxidation without warping or cracking panels.
Gentle enough to clean without lifting paint or raising wood grain.
Soft washing removes efflorescence, mold, and biological staining without damaging mortar joints.
Often overlooked areas that collect the most mildew and spider webs.
Algae and mildew hold moisture against siding and wood surfaces, accelerating rot, paint failure, and structural damage over time. Annual washing stops that cycle before it becomes costly.
A clean exterior transforms how your home looks from the street. Whether you are preparing to sell or simply take pride in your property, a freshly washed home makes a strong impression.
Mold and mildew on exterior surfaces can find their way inside through vents and gaps. Regular washing reduces the biological load on your home's exterior and keeps spores from accumulating near entry points.
Don't take our word for it. Here's what real Traverse City homeowners say about working with Anchor Pro Wash.
Anchor Pro Wash did our home, deck and fence and cleaned all of our windows. Jason stayed in constant communication from the day I booked the appointment until he left our property with the job completed. He arrived exactly when he said he would and did an incredible job at a very fair price. He sent me a video with a complete walk around the house showing me the "after." It looks amazing! I would highly recommend Jason and his team!
Our new to us house needed a good power wash! This company scheduled us quickly and performed the service as expected. The house to my knowledge had never been power washed before. It was a tan siding and it looked so much brighter.
Jason and team just did our spring cleanup and exceeded our expectations. They handled moss treatment, power washed the roof and eaves, and cleaned the windows. Everything looks great! Excellent communication, and good value. Fantastic job!
I had Jason power wash our patio and house this weekend and today they cleaned our windows. Our windows are exceptionally clean and Jason has always done a great job and our patio looks new. Highly recommend them.
So glad we went with Anchor Pro Wash! Did an amazing job and they were able to get the water and rust stains off that were on a few places. Will definitely be using them again for any future needs.
WOW!! My house is a totally different color than when they started. I was a bit skeptical when Jason told me I was going to be floored by the difference, but man was he right! We had a "problem" wall that had mildew on it from living in the woods that someone had tried to remove before with no success. They got rid of every last dot. SO happy we chose Anchor Pro Wash.
For siding, Anchor Pro Wash uses soft washing rather than high-pressure washing. Soft washing combines low pressure with a biodegradable cleaning solution that kills algae, mildew, and bacteria at the root. This protects vinyl siding, painted surfaces, trim, and other delicate exterior materials while delivering a clean that lasts far longer than pressure washing alone.
Yes. Soft washing is specifically designed for surfaces that high pressure would damage. The low-pressure rinse and biodegradable solution clean deeply without harming your siding panels, caulking, or paint. It is the recommended method for vinyl, fiber cement, wood, and stucco exteriors.
Most Northern Michigan homes benefit from professional house washing every 1 to 2 years. Homes surrounded by trees, near water, or in shaded areas may need cleaning more often because algae, mildew, and organic buildup return faster in those conditions. An annual wash also lets you catch any failing caulk or paint before small issues turn into costly repairs.
House washing removes green algae, black mildew, dirt, pollen, spider webs, oxidation, and dark organic staining from siding, trim, soffits, and gutter exteriors. The cleaning solution kills the organisms at the source so buildup takes longer to return compared to a rinse with water alone.
Green discoloration on siding is almost always algae, and it is extremely common in Northern Michigan due to the humidity, tree cover, and moisture from nearby lakes. Algae spores land on your siding and grow in the damp conditions created by shade and morning dew. Left untreated, algae can trap moisture against the surface and eventually cause paint failure or wood rot underneath. Soft washing kills it and restores your siding's appearance.
