Soft-wash wand cleaning green mildew from beige lap siding on a Lee's Summit home

House Washing (Soft Wash)

Low-pressure soft washing that removes mildew, pollen, and road film from siding without forcing water behind it.

The gray-green film creeping across the shaded side of your house is not dirt you can rinse off. It is organic growth — mildew, algae, and lichen — that has rooted into the surface texture of your siding, and it comes back thicker every Missouri spring. Rescue Wash treats it at the source with a soft-wash process that dissolves the growth chemically instead of blasting it off mechanically.

  • Vinyl, brick, stucco, fiber cement, and painted siding
  • Soffits, fascia, trim, and shutters
  • Porches, columns, and entryways

Roof Soft Wash Cleaning

Black streaks on asphalt shingles are living algae — we remove them with a no-pressure wash that leaves the granules intact.

Those dark vertical streaks running down the roof are Gloeocapsa magma, a hardy blue-green algae that feeds on the limestone filler in asphalt shingles. It spreads across shaded and north-facing slopes first, holds moisture against the shingle mat, and gets darker every season it is left alone. It is not a stain, and scrubbing or blasting will not solve it.

  • Asphalt and architectural shingle roofs
  • Black streak, moss, and lichen removal
  • No-pressure application from ground equipment

Driveway & Concrete Cleaning

Surface-cleaner washing that lifts years of grime from driveways, sidewalks, and patios with an even finish — no wand stripes.

Concrete records everything. Tire marks, oil drips, fertilizer rust, leaf tannins, and a slow gray build-up of atmospheric grime all settle into the pores of the slab until the driveway reads as dingy even right after a rain. Cleaning it is the single fastest way to sharpen the front of a Lee's Summit property, and the change is usually dramatic.

  • Driveways, sidewalks, patios, and pool decks
  • Rotary surface cleaner for an even finish
  • Rust, oil, and organic stain treatment

Deck & Fence Washing

Gentle wood-safe cleaning that pulls gray weathering and green growth out of decks, fences, and pergolas without furring the grain.

Wood outdoors goes gray because ultraviolet light breaks down the lignin holding the surface fibers together, and Missouri humidity adds a layer of mildew and green growth on top of that. Underneath the gray, the wood is usually sound. A correct wash removes the degraded surface layer and the biological growth and brings the original color back — no sanding, no replacement boards.

  • Cedar, pine, treated lumber, and composite decking
  • Privacy fences, railings, pergolas, and gazebos
  • Wood-safe low-pressure method

Gutter Cleaning & Brightening

Interior debris cleared so water flows, plus exterior brightening that removes the black oxidation stripes on the gutter face.

Gutters have two separate problems, and most companies only solve one. The inside fills with shingle grit, leaves, seed pods, and nesting material until water overflows the back edge and runs down the fascia. The outside develops black vertical streaks — tiger striping — from oxidized aluminum and road film that no amount of rain will wash away. Rescue Wash handles both.

  • Debris cleared from gutter troughs
  • Downspouts flushed and flow tested
  • Exterior "tiger stripe" oxidation removal

Commercial Pressure Washing

Storefronts, sidewalks, dumpster pads, and building exteriors cleaned on a schedule that works around your business hours.

A customer forms an opinion about your business before the door opens. Gum-spotted sidewalks, a grease-shadowed entry, and a streaked facade say something about the operation inside, and it is not what you want said. Rescue Wash keeps Lee's Summit storefronts, offices, and small commercial properties presentable without interrupting the business day.

  • Storefronts, entryways, and building exteriors
  • Sidewalks, walkways, and parking areas
  • Dumpster pads and service corridors
