Our experienced cleaning professionals at Ocean Waves SoftWash are fully equipped to handle all your exterior cleaning needs, but we understand that you may have some questions first. On this page, we’ve responded to some of the most common questions we receive to help you decide if we’re the right fit for your needs.
What exterior cleaning services do you offer?
We specialize in both soft washing and pressure washing techniques so that we can tackle virtually all exterior surfaces. Our team can safely and effectively clean roofs, siding, decks, patios, fences, parking lots, and so much more.
What is your service area?
We’re based in Selbyville, Delaware, and we serve several coastal and inland communities throughout the state, including Rehoboth Beach, Lewes, Bethany Beach, Selbyville, Ocean View, and Millsboro. In Maryland, our service area includes Ocean City, Berlin, Ocean Pines, Salisbury, and surrounding regions.
What exactly is soft washing?
Soft washing is a gentle but highly effective exterior cleaning solution that relies on biodegradable cleansers to safely remove organic contaminants at their roots. Soft washing is unique because it’s safe enough to be used on virtually all outdoor surfaces, and it provides a deeper, longer-lasting clean compared to traditional cleaning techniques.
How is soft washing better than pressure washing?
Soft washing uses less water, relies on eco-friendly ingredients, and provides longer-lasting results compared to pressure washing. Furthermore, it’s safe to use on more delicate surfaces, such as roofing shingles and wood fences.
Will soft washing damage my landscape or harm my pets?
Nope! We rely on eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning agents that are tough on grime but gentle on the planet. As an added precaution, we’ll even pre-soak and rinse your landscaping to ensure your plants and grass remain healthy and protected during the cleaning process.
Do you offer free estimates?
Absolutely! We’re happy to provide free, no-obligation estimates for all residential and commercial projects. You can give us a call or fill out the online form to schedule a consultation.
Why should I choose your team for exterior cleaning services?
Our local business has been passionate about delivering high-quality cleaning services since 1998, and we have the skills, equipment, and integrity to get the job done right.

Do I need to be home during the service?
As long as our team has access to an outdoor water spigot, you don’t need to be home during the appointment. Our team will provide consistent updates to let you know when we begin and finish the project. Just make sure that your doors and windows are tightly closed before we arrive!
What types of siding can you clean?
Our gentle soft wash techniques are safe and effective for all kinds of common siding materials, including vinyl, fiber cement, brick, stucco, and more.
Do you offer deck sealing or just cleaning?
We offer a complete restoration package for decks and patios, which includes a deep clean, a professional sanding, and a sealant application. If you have a wood or stone surface, this package can completely revitalize and transform your outdoor space for the better.
How do you clean pavers and stone patios?
Depending on the condition of your pavers, we will either use soft washing or pressure washing to thoroughly clean the surface and remove all weeds, moss, and other debris. If you’d like, we can also re-sand the joints and seal the pavers to help protect the materials from damage.
Can you clean my outdoor patio furniture?
Yes, many of our clients add furniture cleaning services to their deck or patio appointment. We can safely clean plastic, metal, and wood furniture to beautify and refresh your entire outdoor living space.
What commercial cleaning services do you offer?
Our skilled technicians can tackle all your exterior cleaning needs, including washing your storefront, parking lot, roof, fencing, and more. If you have any questions about what we can clean, simply give us a call for more information.
How do you handle water runoff?
We always follow best practices for environmental safety. Our technicians will carefully manage the biodegradable solutions we use and ensure that runoff is appropriately managed to protect local watersheds.
Should I do anything to prepare my property before a cleaning appointment?
You can help us out by removing items from the area you’d like us to clean, securing pets indoors, and making sure that all your windows and doors are fully closed.
