Concrete hardscapes are the backbone of curb appeal. Driveways, walkways and patios all look amazing when they are bright, clean and free of algae. Yet traditional power-washing can etch the surface, forcing premature repairs. CountBricks solves this with a specialized soft washing concrete service designed for residential construction clients who want maximum cleanliness and minimum risk.
Soft washing combines biodegradable detergents with low-pressure water to break down organic growth, dirt and atmospheric grime. Instead of blasting stains with thousands of PSI, our residential crews apply a controlled 300–500 PSI stream that preserves surface integrity. The result is a deep clean that lasts longer than a quick, high-pressure rinse.
• Surface protection: Low pressure eliminates swirl marks, pitting and aggregate loss.
• Long-lasting results: Detergent dwell time kills algae and mold spores at the root.
• Eco-responsible: Biodegradable solutions and controlled runoff meet residential environmental standards.
• Warranty compliance: Many stamped or sealed concrete warranties forbid high-pressure cleaning; soft washing keeps you covered.
• Faster project turnaround: With CountBricks AI scheduling, homeowners choose dates that sync with other renovation tasks in the CountBricks dashboard.
Every soft washing request begins with a voice conversation in the CountBricks mobile app. Our AI listens, measures your square footage and immediately pulls current detergent and labor pricing. Within seconds you receive:
1. A detailed line-item estimate hosted at CountBricks.com/services.
2. Recommended start dates aligned with weather data and crew availability.
3. Optional add-ons such as crack sealing or concrete resealing generated by the same AI model.
• Driveways with tire marks and winter salt buildup
• Pool decks covered in sunscreen residue and mildew
• Backyard patios darkened by barbecue grease
• Front entries where algae creates slippery conditions
• Garage slabs stained by oil or battery acid
1. Site scan: Our technician confirms AI measurements with a laser distance meter.
2. Pre-treat: We apply a plant-safe rinse to landscaping to avoid detergent burn.
3. Detergent application: Low-pressure pump sprayers coat the concrete evenly.
4. Dwell and gentle agitation: Soft-bristle surface cleaners loosen embedded debris.
5. Final rinse and pH neutralization: We restore the concrete to a neutral state for safe foot traffic.

A Providence homeowner recently booked our soft washing concrete service through CountBricks.com/portfolio. Initial AI takeoff estimated 1,150 sq ft; on-site verification adjusted the figure to 1,180 sq ft, keeping the estimate transparent. The crew completed the clean, added a penetrating silane sealer and finished in under six hours. The homeowner noted a twenty-point boost in property appraisal the following month.
Will soft washing remove oil? Detergent boosters break down petroleum; severe stains may need localized hot-water treatment.
How often should I schedule a cleaning? Most residential slabs stay bright for 18–24 months after a CountBricks soft wash.
Is it safe for decorative concrete? Yes. Our low-pressure approach protects integral color and stamped textures.
