Don't Blast It, Treat It.
In Tauranga, your home is covered in two things: visible green mould and invisible sea salt. Many "handyman" operators attack this with high-pressure water blasters. This is dangerous. It can strip your paint, damage timber fibers, and force water through the cladding (especially around windows and vents). The Tomar Soft Wash Method: We use high-volume, low-pressure water combined with a biodegradable detergent. This solution kills mould spores at the root and dissolves salt deposits, allowing us to rinse them away gently without risking your weathertightness.
Fast response. Local teams.

Full Exterior Soft Wash: We clean from the gutters down. This includes the exterior of the gutters, fascias, soffits (eaves), and the cladding itself. We leave your home looking freshly painted.

Pre-Paint Washing: Painting soon? A standard wash isn't enough. We perform a "Paint Prep Wash" that removes chalky oxidation and grease, ensuring your new paint bonds perfectly to the surface.

We Inspect While We Clean
Most cleaning companies just spray and go. Because we are trade-qualified painters, our eyes are trained to spot problems.
-
Early Warning System: While washing, if we spot a cracked tile, a rusted flashing, or peeling paint, we let you know immediately.
-
Paint Protection: We know exactly how much pressure your specific paint system can handle. We clean to protect the coating, not strip it.
-
Plant Safety: We pre-wet and rinse your gardens to ensure our biodegradable detergents don't harm your landscaping.
Fast response. Local teams.
Vital Maintenance for Warranties
Did you know most paint and roofing warranties (like Colorsteel or Dulux) require an annual wash? Salt accumulation voids warranties. In coastal zones like Papamoa and The Mount, unwashed surfaces accumulate salt that eats into the coating. A professional wash once a year is the cheapest insurance policy for your home.
House Washing Frequently Asked Questions
No. Because we use low pressure (similar to a garden hose) rather than high-pressure blasting, there is no risk of forcing water through window seals or vents.
No. As long as we have access to a water tap and you ensure all windows are closed and pets are inside, we can complete the job while you are at work.
