Gentle Exterior Cleaning for Timber and Weatherboard Homes
Weatherboard homes have a timeless charm, but their painted surfaces and timber boards are also vulnerable to Central Coast conditions. Over time, salt air, humidity and pollution can cause dirt, mould and grime to cling to exterior walls, dulling the finish and accelerating paint deterioration. Using high-pressure cleaning on weatherboards can strip paint, force water behind panels and cause costly damage.
At Glason High Pressure Cleaning, we use a specialised soft washing process to clean and restore weatherboard exteriors safely. Our low-pressure method lifts away dirt, salt and organic growth while preserving the paint and timber underneath, keeping your home fresh, bright and protected.

Why Weatherboard Homes Need Soft Washing
Timber and painted surfaces require a gentle touch. Soft washing uses a biodegradable cleaning solution that breaks down contaminants without abrasion, followed by a gentle rinse that leaves a smooth, streak-free result.
Why soft washing is essential for weatherboard homes:
- Prevents water from seeping behind boards and causing rot
- Protects paint from flaking, blistering or early fading
- Removes mould, mildew and salt residue safely
- Keeps exterior paintwork looking newer for longer
- Reduces maintenance and repainting frequency
Soft washing not only restores your home’s street appeal but also helps extend the life of your exterior finishes.

4.
Final Check – A final inspection ensures an even, streak-free result, with optional mould-prevention treatment available for long-term protection.
Soft Washing vs Repainting
Many homeowners assume a dull, weathered exterior means it’s time to repaint, but in most cases, a professional soft wash can bring painted weatherboards back to life. Removing surface grime, salt and pollutants instantly brightens the colour and reveals the true condition of your paintwork. Regular exterior cleaning also helps your next paint job last longer by preventing dirt and mildew from trapping moisture beneath new coats.

Common Issues We Treat
Living on the Central Coast means your home is constantly exposed to salt air, humidity and changing weather — all of which can take a toll on painted timber and weatherboard exteriors. Over time, these conditions lead to staining, mould growth and chalky paint that make your home look older than it is. Without the right care, moisture can even creep behind the boards, causing long-term damage to paintwork and timber.
Our specialised soft washing process is designed to remove these contaminants safely, preserving your home’s finish and protecting it from future deterioration.
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
