House Washing Ilam – Safe Soft Wash for All Surfaces
In Ilam, Christchurch, homes are exposed to everything from dusty nor’westers to heavy winter rain.
Over time, grime, moss, and mould cling to your exterior surfaces, dulling your home’s appearance and even damaging your cladding if left untreated.
At Metro Water Blasting Christchurch, we specialise in professional house washing in Ilam, using a gentle, eco-friendly soft wash system that cleans safely — without risking damage from high-pressure blasting.
Why House Washing Matters for Ilam Homes
Ilam’s tree-lined streets and changing weather bring unique challenges:
- Dust and pollen settling from strong Canterbury winds.
- Shady spots encouraging moss and mildew on walls.
- Rain and frost cycles causing organic growth to spread.
- Traffic pollution from nearby main roads dulling paintwork.
Regular house washing not only brightens your home — it protects your cladding, paint, and property value.
Surfaces We Clean Safely
We tailor our soft washing process to:
- Weatherboard homes
- Brick veneer houses
- Plaster and monolithic cladding
- Colorsteel and metal cladding
- Garage doors, downpipes, entranceways, and soffits
No matter what your home is built from — we clean it gently and thoroughly.
Our Soft Wash House Cleaning Process
Here’s how we clean your Ilam home properly:
1. Inspection and Material Assessment
We check the age and type of cladding to adjust our detergent mix and pressure levels safely.
2. Biodegradable Detergent Application
We apply an eco-friendly cleaner that kills moss, algae, and grime at the source — without damaging surfaces or landscaping.
3. Low-Pressure Rinse
Using controlled soft washing equipment, we rinse away dirt and organic matter without blasting paint or timber.
4. Finishing Touches
Windows, soffits, entranceways, and trims are carefully finished for a full exterior refresh.

|---|---|
| Homes with heavy tree cover | Every 6–9 months |
