Your siding stops looking dingy. The green streaks disappear. Your driveway goes from stained and dark to the color it was when it was poured.
Most importantly, you’re not standing on a ladder with a rented machine, guessing at PSI settings and hoping you don’t crack something. The work gets done in hours, not weekends. And when it’s finished, your home looks maintained—not just sprayed down.
This isn’t about making your house sparkle for a photo. It’s about removing mold, mildew, algae, and grime that actually degrade your surfaces over time. The longer that stuff sits, the more it eats into your siding, your wood, your concrete. Cleaning it off now means you’re not replacing it later.
You get your curb appeal back without the risk of doing it wrong yourself.
Clarita’s Cleaning is a family-run business that’s been serving Ashland and the MetroWest area for more than ten years. We’re not a franchise. We’re local, and we’ve cleaned hundreds of homes in neighborhoods you probably drive through every day.
We use non-toxic, biodegradable products because we know you’ve got kids, pets, and gardens. We’re fully insured. We show up when we say we will. And we don’t leave until the job’s done the way it should be.
Ashland homeowners care about their properties. The town’s got charm, and people want to keep it that way. We get that. That’s why we don’t rush, and we don’t cut corners.
First, we come out and give you a free estimate. No pressure, no upselling. We look at what needs cleaning, what method works best, and what condition your surfaces are in.
Once you’re ready to move forward, we schedule a time that works for you. On the day of the job, we show up with commercial-grade equipment—not the kind you rent at a hardware store. We assess your surfaces up close and adjust pressure settings accordingly. Vinyl siding gets treated differently than brick. Wood decks get soft washed, not blasted.
We start with a pre-treatment if needed—especially for organic growth like mold or algae. Then we clean section by section, making sure we’re not missing spots or damaging anything. For driveways, we use higher pressure. For roofs and siding, we use soft washing techniques that rely more on cleaning solutions than brute force.
When we’re done, we do a walkthrough with you. If something’s not right, we handle it before we pack up. You shouldn’t have to point out missed spots. That’s on us.

We clean driveways, walkways, patios, decks, fences, siding, gutters, and more. Each surface gets the treatment it needs. Concrete can handle higher PSI. Wood and vinyl can’t.
Soft washing is what we use for anything delicate—roofs, painted surfaces, older siding. It’s low-pressure washing combined with biodegradable cleaning agents that break down contaminants without the risk of damage. It’s slower than blasting everything at 3,000 PSI, but it’s the right way to do it.
In Ashland, we see a lot of homes with composite decking, vinyl siding, and asphalt driveways. All of those materials need different approaches. Composite can warp or fade if you use too much pressure. Vinyl can crack. Asphalt can pit. We’ve seen what happens when someone tries to DIY this stuff or hires someone who doesn’t know the difference.
We also handle graffiti removal and fence restoration. If your wood fence is gray and weathered, we can bring it back. If someone tagged your building, we can get it off without stripping the surface underneath.
Pressure washing uses high PSI—usually between 1,500 and 3,000—to blast away dirt, grime, and stains. It works great on concrete, brick, and other hard surfaces that can take the force.
Soft washing uses low pressure—around 250 to 300 PSI—and relies on cleaning solutions to do the heavy lifting. It’s what you use on roofs, siding, decks, and anything that could be damaged by high pressure. The cleaning agents break down mold, algae, and dirt, and then we rinse it away gently.
Most jobs need both methods depending on what’s being cleaned. We don’t use one approach for everything. That’s how surfaces get damaged.
It can—if it’s done wrong. That’s the main risk with DIY pressure washing or hiring someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Too much pressure can crack vinyl siding, strip paint, gouge wood, and force water behind your exterior walls. That leads to mold, rot, and expensive repairs. We’ve seen it happen.
That’s why we adjust our equipment for every surface. Vinyl siding gets soft washed. Wood decks get treated with lower pressure and the right nozzle angle. Concrete driveways get higher pressure because they can handle it. We’re not guessing—we’re using the settings that keep your property intact while still getting it clean.
Most homes in Ashland benefit from exterior cleaning every one to two years. It depends on a few factors—how much shade your property gets, whether you’re near trees, and how much organic growth builds up.
If your siding is starting to look green or streaky, that’s algae and mildew. If your driveway has dark stains or your deck is turning gray, it’s time. Waiting too long means that buildup starts breaking down your surfaces, not just sitting on top of them.
Regular cleaning protects your investment. It’s a lot cheaper than replacing siding or refinishing a deck because you let the damage go too far. If you’re preparing to sell, a good exterior cleaning can add thousands to your home’s value for a few hundred dollars of work.
Yes. We use biodegradable, non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe for your family, your pets, and your landscaping.
We’re careful around gardens and plantings. If we’re using a cleaning agent near your flower beds, we’ll rinse everything thoroughly and take steps to protect sensitive plants. Our products break down naturally and don’t leave harmful residues.
This is especially important in Ashland, where a lot of homes have kids playing in the yard and dogs running around. You shouldn’t have to worry about what’s being sprayed on your property. We wouldn’t use anything on your home that we wouldn’t use on our own.
It depends on the size of your property and what needs cleaning. A standard house washing job—siding, trim, and gutters—usually takes two to four hours.
Driveways and walkways can be done in an hour or two, depending on the size and how stained they are. Decks take longer if they need a deep clean and treatment. Larger commercial jobs or multi-surface projects can take a full day.
We don’t rush. If it takes an extra hour to make sure everything’s done right, that’s what we do. You’re not paying for speed—you’re paying for results that last. We’ll give you a time estimate upfront so you know what to expect.
Yes. We come out, look at what you need cleaned, and give you an upfront price. No hidden fees, no surprises.
During the estimate, we’ll walk your property with you, answer any questions, and explain what method we’d use and why. If you’ve got specific concerns—like a stain you’re not sure will come out, or a surface you’re worried about damaging—we’ll address that before we ever start the job.
There’s no obligation. If you want to think it over or get other quotes, that’s fine. We’re not here to pressure anyone into a sale. We’re here to give you the information you need to make the right call for your home.
