soft wash safe for pets

Pets, kids, and when the yard is yours again

Keep animals inside while we mix, dwell, and rinse. When the surfaces we washed have been rinsed and are dry underfoot, normal use resumes.

The risk to a pet is the wet mix, not a mysterious residue the next day. Paws on a puddle of unrinsed solution, a cat on a soaked porch rail, a water bowl that caught overspray: those are the real cases. They are avoided by keeping animals inside until the rinse is finished and by dumping and refilling outdoor bowls.

People sometimes ask if the yard is “safe” an hour later. After a thorough rinse, we are not leaving a pesticide down. Still, use ordinary sense: don’t lay in the flower bed we just flooded, and don’t let a puppy drink from a low spot by the foundation until that water has cleared. If you have a specific animal sensitivity, say it when you book. We can stage the work so the side of the house by the kennel is last and rinsed hard.

We do not use the job as a reason to spray the yard for bugs, weeds, or mosquitoes. That is not this service, and we will not bolt it on.

The service this belongs to is House soft washing.
