Restore your Brick & Masonry Property with House Washing Central Coast
Gentle, Long-Lasting Cleaning for Brick and Masonry Homes
Brick and masonry house washing on the Central Coast requires a careful, low-pressure approach to protect your home’s structure and finish. Over time, salt air, humidity and pollution can cause discolouration, moss, and lichen to form on brick surfaces, dulling their appearance and weakening mortar joints. Using harsh high-pressure cleaning on older or porous brickwork can do more harm than good, stripping mortar, etching the surface and forcing moisture deep into the wall.
At Glason High Pressure Cleaning, we specialise in gentle soft washing for brick and masonry homes, using eco-friendly solutions that break down organic growth and surface stains without damaging the material underneath. We proudly service homes and properties across the Central Coast, including Terrigal, Avoca Beach, Wamberal, Umina, Woy Woy, Erina and Gosford. Whether you own a heritage brick home or a modern masonry build, our team ensures a clean, even finish that enhances both appearance and durability.

Why Brick and Masonry Need Gentle Cleaning
Brick may seem tough, but its porous surface makes it vulnerable to moisture and erosion. When cleaned incorrectly, water can penetrate the mortar, leading to cracking, staining or salt deposits (efflorescence).
Our soft washing technique cleans deeply without force, dissolving grime, moss and pollutants while protecting the integrity of your brickwork.
Why soft washing is ideal for brick and masonry:
- Prevents mortar erosion and joint weakening
- Removes moss, lichen and black staining at the root
- Restores brick colour without harsh abrasion
- Helps prevent efflorescence and moisture damage
- Suitable for heritage and older homes
Our Brick & Masonry Cleaning Process
Every property is different, so we start with a detailed surface assessment before choosing the safest cleaning solution. Our approach ensures a thorough clean that protects your home’s structure and appearance.
1. Inspection & Assessment
We inspect the condition of your brickwork and mortar to identify problem areas like efflorescence or organic growth.
2. Pre-Treatment
A biodegradable cleaning agent is applied to break down dirt, lichen and surface contaminants.
3. Soft Wash Application
Using low pressure, we rinse away residue while protecting mortar and surface texture.
4. Detailing & Post-Treatment
A second application of mould inhibitor or biocide prevents regrowth and keeps your brickwork cleaner for longer.

Common Problems We Treat
Brick and masonry homes on the Central Coast face constant exposure to humidity, salt and pollution. These elements slowly build up and cause visible damage if not cleaned properly.
We commonly treat:
- Mould and lichen growth
- White salt (efflorescence) staining
- General weathering and organic grime build-up
- Rust, soot and water runoff marks
- Faded or uneven brick colouration
Glason’s soft washing method safely removes all of these issues, leaving your brickwork clean, even-toned and protected for years to come.
Soft Washing vs Pressure Cleaning on Brickwork
High-pressure cleaning can look effective at first, but it often causes more harm than good, especially on older brick or soft mortar. Soft washing provides a safer, longer-lasting solution that uses low pressure and biodegradable detergents to break down stains without surface damage.
Weatherboard homes along the Central Coast often face:
- Flaking or chalky paint
- Lichen build up
- Salt and mildew staining
- Mould and algae growth in shaded areas
- Dirt and cobweb build-up under eaves
- Water streaks and pollution marks
