Using Plant Wash to Protect Your Landscape While Soft Washing

exterior home washing that is safe for plants in Nashville, TN

At Blue Bird Softwash, we know that keeping your property clean should never come at the cost of your beautiful landscaping. When it comes to exterior cleaning, harsh chemicals are often used to tackle dirt, grime, mold, and mildew. While these chemicals are highly effective for cleaning, they can be harmful to your plants, soil, and surrounding landscape. That’s why we incorporate Plant Wash into our soft washing process, ensuring your plants remain healthy and protected while we thoroughly clean your property.


Here’s why Plant Wash is essential for safeguarding your plants during the soft washing process:



1. Neutralizes Harsh Chemicals


Soft washing uses a combination of water, pressure, and cleaning solutions, which often contain chemicals like sodium hypochlorite or sodium hydroxide to break down tough contaminants. These chemicals, while great for cleaning exterior surfaces, can be harmful to your plants. Plant Wash is specially designed to neutralize these caustic cleaners, ensuring your plants aren't exposed to dangerous residues. By neutralizing the harmful effects of these chemicals, Plant Wash ensures your landscape remains safe.



2. Nourishes Plants During Cleaning


Beyond protection, Plant Wash delivers liquid nutrients directly to your plants’ leaves, helping them stay healthy and resilient throughout the cleaning process. This unique formula acts like a protective shield, not only safeguarding your plants from harm but also giving them an extra boost of vitality. By feeding your plants during the wash, Plant Wash supports their health even as we clean.



3. Coats Leaves with a Protective Buffer


Another key feature of Plant Wash is its ability to coat each plant’s leaves with a buffering agent. This protective layer shields the plants from potential damage while cleaning is in progress, preventing any lingering chemicals from causing harm. By adding this extra layer of protection, we ensure that your plants stay vibrant and healthy, even after a deep exterior clean.



4. Replenishes Soil with Essential Nutrients


While Plant Wash protects the above-ground parts of your plants, it also works wonders for the soil. During cleaning, harmful chemicals can seep into the ground, disrupting the natural balance of the soil and affecting plant growth. Plant Wash replenishes essential nutrients in the soil, promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria that support a healthy landscape. This step not only helps your plants recover from any stress but also ensures the long-term health of your soil.



Our Thorough Rinsing Process


At Blue Bird Softwash, we take every precaution to protect your plants during soft washing. That’s why we implement a thorough rinsing routine with clean water—before, during, and after the cleaning process. This ensures that any residual chemicals are fully rinsed away, preventing them from lingering on your plants or in the soil. As an added safeguard, we apply Plant Wash as a final rinse, leaving your landscape refreshed, nourished, and free from harmful contaminants.
