When most homeowners think about exterior cleaning, their minds go straight to roofs, siding, and driveways. But there’s one area that often gets overlooked, and that's the fence. Whether it’s wood, vinyl, or composite, your fence plays a huge role in your home’s overall appearance and curb appeal. Over time, though, fences collect dirt, algae, mildew, and grime that make them look dull, aged, and neglected.
At Certified Softwash Solutions, we help Windsor homeowners bring their outdoor spaces back to life with professional fence cleaning services that restore beauty and extend the life of your property’s perimeter.
Why Fence Cleaning Is So Important
A clean fence is more than something nice to look at, it protects your investment. Windsor’s weather can be tough on outdoor structures, especially fences exposed to sun, moisture, and wind all year long.
Over time, dirt and organic growth can:
Break down wood fibers, leading to rot or warping.
Discolor vinyl and composite fencing, leaving behind green or black streaks.
Encourage mildew and algae growth, especially in shaded or damp areas.
Reduce property value by giving your home a neglected appearance.
Regular fence cleaning not only restores its original appearance but also prevents long-term damage caused by these contaminants. It’s one of the simplest ways to instantly improve your home’s exterior without costly replacements or renovations.

Why Softwashing Is Better Than Pressure Washing for Fences
Traditional power washing may seem like the go-to solution, but high-pressure cleaning can actually damage your fence, especially if it’s made of wood or vinyl. The intense water pressure can strip paint, splinter wood, or force water deep into cracks, accelerating rot and decay.
That’s why softwashing is the smarter and safer approach. Softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions that gently remove dirt, mold, and algae without harming your materials. It’s the same trusted process we use for roofs and siding, and it delivers deep, long-lasting results.
Here’s why homeowners in Windsor are switching to softwashing for fence care:
✅ No damage to paint or wood grain
✅ Kills algae and mildew at the root
✅ Safe for surrounding plants and landscaping
✅ Longer-lasting results than high-pressure cleaning
Whether you have a wood privacy fence or vinyl panels, softwashing can restore their color and texture, safely and effectively.
The Environmental Advantage
At Certified Softwash Solutions, we believe in protecting both your home and the environment. Our eco-friendly cleaning agents are fully biodegradable and safe for your lawn, pets, and garden areas. Unlike harsh chemicals or bleach-heavy mixtures used by some companies, our solutions break down naturally after use, leaving your property fresh, clean, and chemical-free.
This environmentally responsible approach not only meets our high safety standards but also ensures your outdoor spaces remain beautiful and healthy long after the cleaning is done.
What to Expect from Professional Fence Cleaning
All companies conduct their exterior house cleaning differently, but there should always be key similar aspects.
Here’s what our process typically includes:
Assessment: We inspect your fence to identify stains, organic buildup, or weather-related damage.
Pre-Treatment: Our team applies a specialized softwash solution that penetrates and loosens dirt, mold, and grime.
Low-Pressure Cleaning: Using gentle water pressure, we remove all contaminants without harming the surface.
Final Rinse & Inspection: We ensure every section is clean and restored, leaving your fence looking refreshed and vibrant.
This thorough process not only restores your fence’s natural beauty but also helps prevent future buildup, meaning your results last much longer than with power washing alone.
