Softwashing a Lake Home on Lake Murry, SC

This lakeside home on Lake Murry in Leesville-Batesburg, SC was recently softwashed from top to bottom by Lakeside Softwash. The owners wanted the house returned to its original look without using high-pressure washing that can damage delicate materials. Because lake homes combine many surface types, we approached this job with a softwashing plan tailored to each material and location on the property.

Softwashing is the service type we used for this project, and it was applied everywhere it was needed. The exterior Hardie plank siding received a gentle, thorough cleaning to remove algae, dirt, and stains. Wood ceilings on the porch and under eaves were carefully treated to avoid water intrusion or surface damage. Trek flooring in outdoor living areas and the main patio were also cleaned using low-pressure application and appropriate cleaning solutions.

Other surfaces included stucco, brick, stone, vinyl, and painted cedar, all of which require different handling. Windows and doors were softwashed only, with no pressure used, to clear grime and improve curb appeal without risking seal or frame damage. The screen room was cleaned as part of the full exterior service, restoring visibility and removing buildup that collects near the lake.

On lake homes, the choice of equipment and chemistry matters, and that was a focus during this project. Having the right tools allowed our team to safely treat each surface, while softwashing methods removed organic growth and dirt without abrasion. The result was a consistent, refreshed appearance across varied materials, achieved without high-pressure washing.

The goal for this job was simple, to clean and restore the property back to its beauty. By softwashing top to bottom, we addressed the common issues lake homes face from moisture and algae, and the homeowners now have a cleaner, more attractive exterior. This approach also helps protect materials by avoiding unnecessary force that can wear surfaces down over time.
