House Washing Brisbane
Mould and algae gone in one visit — without stripping your paint. We use soft washing, a low-pressure method that treats growth at the root, so your walls stay clean for 12–18 months instead of six weeks. Owner-operated, fixed quotes, no surprises on the day.
See the difference a proper house wash makes
Two real jobs on Brisbane homes — years of built-up mould and grime removed in a single visit, without stripping the paint. Drag the handle to compare.
Brisbane's humidity is your home's worst enemy
If the walls are starting to look darker, greener or streaky, that's not just dirt. In Brisbane's warm, wet climate, mould and algae embed themselves into rendered, painted and weatherboard surfaces within months. Left untreated, they eat into paint binders and cause peeling that requires a full repaint — far more expensive than a regular house wash in Brisbane.
At Washing Master we provide exterior house cleaning in Brisbane using a soft wash method. A biodegradable solution breaks down growth at the root, then controlled pressure removes it cleanly. No blasting, and no lifting paint that a pressure-only wash would strip.
Most mould is invisible at first. By the time it's clearly visible on your walls it's been embedded for months, and the longer you leave it the harder and more expensive it becomes to remove properly.

Kacper did our house wash recently and did such a great job!!! I enquired and received an in person quote the same day, then booked the job for the following week. Easy communication and really professional.Jhanelle Williams Google review
Kacper did our house wash and driveway cleaning and honestly so happy with the entire experience. He's clear with communication and very organised. He definitely knows his stuff and was happy to explain some of the process, which made me feel involved. Have recommended my friends who've already booked in with him.Cyrichal Acuna Google Local Guide
Had the team do a full house wash, roof, and windows and couldn't be happier with the results. Quote was higher than others but well worth it as the quality was much higher than expected. Great people too.Mike Devine Google review
Four reasons Brisbane homes need regular washing
Brisbane sits in a subtropical climate — warm, humid and wet for half the year. Any porous surface exposed to those conditions will grow mould and algae. Here's what regular house washing protects against:
Protects your paint
Mould feeds on paint binders. On rendered and weatherboard homes, untreated mould causes peeling within 1–2 wet seasons. A regular wash costs a fraction of a repaint.
Eliminates slip hazards
Algae on driveways, entry paths and steps becomes dangerously slippery in the rain — a very common issue on Brisbane properties after a wet summer.
Maintains property value
A clean exterior adds real kerb appeal — whether you're planning to sell, rent, or simply take pride in the property you've invested in.
Longer gaps between repaints
Homes washed every 12–18 months consistently hold their exterior paint longer. It's the cheapest form of exterior maintenance you can do.
What is external house cleaning — and why method matters
House washing is the professional cleaning of your home's exterior: walls, eaves, fascia, gutters (outer face) and surrounding areas. But not all exterior house cleaning is the same.
If you've been searching for home power washing near me, here's something worth knowing first: power washing alone is often the wrong tool for a house. Pressure washing uses roughly 1,500–4,000 PSI — great for concrete driveways, but on rendered or painted walls that force strips paint, pushes water behind cladding, and can crack mortar. It removes what's on the surface, but the mould root stays embedded and regrows fast.
That's why we use soft washing instead: a biodegradable cleaning solution applied first to break down mould and algae at the root, then a low-pressure rinse — typically under 500 PSI — that washes it away cleanly. The result lasts 12–18 months, not 6–8 weeks from a standard pressure blast. High pressure still has its place — we save it for the hard surfaces that can take it, like concrete and pavers.
Our 4-step house washing process
Same structured approach on every job — no shortcuts regardless of size or how bad the mould is.
Surface inspection & protection
We check surface type (render, weatherboard, brick, Colorbond), extent of mould and algae, and any cracked or damaged areas. Then we protect what needs protecting — power points bagged off, door locks covered, towels placed against door gaps, and garden beds pre-wet.
Chemical pre-treatment
A biodegradable soft wash solution is applied to break down mould, algae and organic staining at the root — not just the surface. We adjust the mix strength to your specific surface material and level of buildup — render, brick and cladding each need a different approach.
Controlled pressure rinse
We rinse at the correct pressure for the surface — lower on painted render, slightly higher on unpainted brick. No blasting, no streaking, no paint lift.
Final check and clean-up
We walk the full property to check for any missed areas, rinse off surrounding plants and garden beds, and make sure windows and hard surfaces are left spotless before we leave.
What's included in a house wash
Every standard house wash in Brisbane covers:
Exterior walls
All wall surfaces — render, weatherboard, brick, Colorbond and cladding.
Eaves & fascia
Including the underside of eaves — often the first place mould appears.
External gutters
Outer face of gutters and downpipes, removing mould and oxidation staining.
Trims & frames
Window frames, door frames and decorative trims cleaned carefully without damage.

How much does house washing cost in Brisbane?
Every home is different — size, surface type and how much mould has built up all change the job. Rather than publish a number that won't match your property, we quote each home properly. We don't charge extra for heavy mould either; that's part of the job.
GST included.
No obligation to book.
Final price depends on:
- Size of the home (single or double storey)
- Surface type (render, weatherboard, brick, Colorbond)
- Level of mould and algae buildup
- Access and any obstacles around the property
Why choose Washing Master
We're a small, locally run operation — not a franchise. That means you deal directly with the person doing the work, every time.
Safe method on every job. We never use unnecessary high pressure on painted or rendered surfaces. Surface-appropriate technique is non-negotiable.
No hidden charges. What you're quoted is what you pay — including GST, and including heavy mould jobs.
Results that last. Because we treat the mould root with the correct chemical, it takes significantly longer to return than a pressure-only wash.
We protect the small stuff. Power points bagged off, door locks covered, towels against door gaps so nothing seeps inside. It's the details that separate a careful job from a fast one.
You deal with the person doing the work. Direct communication, no middlemen, no call centres.
You don't need to be home. Access and an outdoor tap is all we need. We'll message you when it's done.
Safe for your garden. Biodegradable solutions only. We pre-wet and post-rinse all surrounding garden beds as standard.
Responsible wastewater handling. No runoff enters stormwater drains — wastewater is collected and redirected to safe absorption points, every job.
