Low Pressure Brisbane House Washing Specialists
We don’t use high pressure on paint work and walls as it is too harsh!
House Washing Australia believes the use of high pressure cleaners on the walls and paint work of your home can result in more harm than good. This is why we only use high pressure cleaners on roofs, cement and other hard surfaces around your home.
The house washing itself is down to good old fashioned hard work, using cleaning solutions and a soft broom to deliver a thorough, but gentle clean to the walls and paintwork of your home.
Our cleaning solution is a blend of plant derived detergents and diluted bleach; it is designed not only to clean but to deter future mildew growth. The solution breaks down carbon based materials that build up over time, on and around your property making it damp, dirty and mouldy.

Our External House Washing Process
Step 1:
The cleaning solution is sprayed onto all surfaces, from the external of the gutters down to the ground of your house, where it begins to emulsify the build-up of grime, killing mould, mildew and soften cobwebs, making them easier to remove.
This includes:
External Gutters
Eaves
Windows (basic clean and left to air dry) – Spray, Brush and rinse
Underside of your pergola roof (the ceiling) if attached to the house
Screens (these are not removed from the windows)
Walls
Railings / Balustrading
Balconies
Poles
Small Window Awnings
Step 2:
Where necessary, surfaces are scrubbed with soft brushes to remove any stubborn stains or spots. Windows and screens are also scrubbed.
Step 3:
Surfaces are then rinsed off, removing any excess dirt, grime, wasp nests and animal droppings. Once your house wash is complete you will be the envy of all your neighbours.
Please note: There may be some minor irremovable marks and stains.
Frequently Asked House Washing Questions
- Remove any washing from the clothesline including washing lines under sealed balconies. You may think your clothesline is far enough away however, wind can blow the cleaning solution a great distance.
- Cover any outdoor furniture or belongings and / or remove them from the areas in which are being cleaned including all electronics and non-waterproof items.
- Cover any outdoor power points and switches with electrical tape.
- Remove or tie up curtains and blinds if you know your windows are not sealed properly or leak in anyway.
- Make sure all your windows are CLOSED!
House Washing in Brisbane for example should be done yearly without question due to the high humidity causing high mould growth.
Think of it like, if you only hosed your car rather than scrubbed it! – Physical contact is better. Using high pressure alone does not do as good a job as using the cleaning solution nor does it remove spider webs – it can simply spread them. Also high pressure cleaning will not remove mould spores entirely, it can leave remnants behind.
If you do not remove the mould before re-painting you are dramatically reducing the life of your new paint job. Even sanding the house will not remove all the mould spores. Our cleaning solution will kill mould and prepare the surface for painting, therefore helping to prolong the life of the paint.
Quite often once our customers have undergone a house wash treatment they end up cancelling their painter due to the dramatic improvement in colour and brightness – up to three times brighter! This occurs because microscopic mould spores are removed from the paint during our clean.

House Washing Brisbane Reviews
Still not sure – Read some testimonials from happy customers and know that we will look after you too so give us a shot.
Amazing! After a chemical wash and high pressure clean, the roof of my commercial property looked like new. Good rates – good service. Garry went out of his way to make sure we were happy. We’ll have him back.
This is the third time we have used HWA and again were very happy with the results. It’s amazing the difference a clean can make and all my dealings with HWA have been courteous & easy and the technicians are punctual, friendly and we would definitely recommend.
The recent high pressure cleaning that HWA did on our garden pavers and garden walls was a great job and could not have been done with more care. As our pavers are Himalayan sandstone, I get worried with the cleaning because they can chip easily but there was not a single chip out of them after this clean and they came up beautifully to top it off. Thanks guys for your attention, timeliness and professionalism.
I would highly recommend this company for a house clean. Our house looks like it’s brand new. The price was reasonable and service outstanding. The communication was great and they ensured nothing was damaged around the house including the plants. Will definitely be a returning customer.
