Palomar Mountain sits at 5,500 ft elevation with 100+ freeze nights per year, frequent winter snow, and 35-40" annual rainfall. Heavy moss and lichen on north-facing surfaces, shake-roof organic growth, and pine-debris cleanup dominate the scope on this high-elevation community.. Mountain homes run heavy on cedar siding and wood trim.

Low-pressure application (typically 60–80 PSI at the wall) of a cleaning solution, sodium hypochlorite plus a surfactant that keeps it on the surface long enough to work. The chemistry kills algae, mildew, and gloeocapsa. Then we rinse with clean low-pressure water. No tip of a pressure wand ever touches your siding.

Not if we do it right. We pre-wet every plant bed within overspray range, dilute the mix correctly, and post-rinse the foliage. Soft-wash pros do house washes every day around rose bushes, lemon trees, and Japanese maples. The damage stories come from DIY mixes that skip the pre-wet and use uncut SH.
