Your home works hard every day. It stands up to rain, humidity, pollen, algae, mold, mildew, spider webs, dust, and everything else southwest Missouri throws at it. Over time those things build up on your siding and slowly take away the clean look your home once had.
At The A Team, we clean homes using a professional soft washing process that safely removes organic growth without relying on damaging high pressure. Whether your home has vinyl siding, painted brick, Hardie Board, stucco, EIFS, aluminum, or wood, we clean it using the right process for that specific surface so it looks its best while staying protected.
One of the biggest surprises for homeowners is learning that their house isn't actually covered in dirt. Most of the green and black stains you see are living organisms. Algae, mold, mildew, and bacteria thrive in our warm, humid climate. Areas that stay shaded longer, especially the north side of the home or places surrounded by trees, usually show signs first.
Rain doesn't wash these stains away. In many cases it actually gives them more moisture to grow. That's why the discoloration keeps coming back until it's properly treated.
Every home begins with a full walk around inspection. We look at the type of siding, identify areas with heavier organic growth, check landscaping, note any existing damage, and determine the safest cleaning method before we ever start washing.
Once everything is ready, we apply a professional soft washing solution that breaks down algae, mold, mildew, pollen, spider webs, and other organic buildup. Instead of trying to blast contaminants off the surface, the cleaning solution does the heavy lifting while low pressure rinsing safely removes everything from the siding.
When the cleaning is complete, we do one final walkthrough to make sure every area meets our standards before packing up.
One thing we always tell homeowners is that not every discoloration is dirt. Some stains are caused by oxidation, rust, hard water, or years of sun exposure. Those problems require different restoration methods and sometimes they can't be completely removed through house washing alone.
We'd rather set honest expectations before the job than promise something that isn't possible.
Pressure doesn't clean your house. Chemistry does.
The goal isn't to spray harder. The goal is to remove the organisms causing the stains without damaging your siding. Using too much pressure can force water behind siding, remove paint, leave visible streaks, or even shorten the life of certain exterior materials.
That's why professional soft washing has become the preferred cleaning method for homes across the country.
Every neighborhood in Springfield is a little different. Homes surrounded by mature trees usually deal with heavier algae growth. Properties with little shade often collect more dust and pollen. Houses near busy roads can develop a layer of traffic film that requires additional attention.
Because we clean homes throughout Springfield, Ozark, Nixa, Republic, Willard, Rogersville, Strafford, and the surrounding communities every week, we've seen just about every type of staining Missouri can create.

Because southern Missouri has high humidity, frequent rain, and lots of shade, most homes benefit from house washing every 12–18 months. Homes with heavy tree coverage or north-facing walls may need cleaning more often due to faster algae and mold growth.
Yes. Soft washing is the safest and most effective method for cleaning siding. We use low-pressure water combined with professional cleaning solutions to remove algae, mold, and mildew without damaging vinyl, brick, stucco, or painted surfaces. Unlike high pressure, soft washing won’t force water behind siding or cause surface wear.
The green or black staining you see is usually algae and organic growth, which thrives in humid environments like southern Missouri. Rain, shade, and warm temperatures create the perfect conditions for it to grow quickly — especially on the sides of homes that don’t get much direct sunlight.
No. We take precautions to protect your landscaping by pre-wetting plants, using proper dilution ratios, and rinsing everything thoroughly before and after cleaning. Our process is designed to be effective on your home while remaining safe for surrounding vegetation.
In most cases, a professional soft wash will keep your home looking clean for 12 months or longer. Because soft washing removes organic growth at the root, it lasts significantly longer than rinsing or high-pressure cleaning.
No. As long as we have access to water and the areas being cleaned are clear, you do not need to be home. Many customers choose to schedule their house washing while they’re at work or running errands.
We safely clean:
Each surface is cleaned using the proper method and pressure for long-lasting results.
No. While house washing dramatically improves curb appeal, it also helps protect your home. Organic growth can cause staining, surface breakdown, and premature wear if left untreated — especially in humid climates.
Most house washing jobs take 1–2 hours, depending on the size of the home, level of buildup, and surrounding conditions.
