Professional House Washing in Tauranga — Soft, Safe & Thorough
Tauranga's coastal climate and high humidity mean mould, algae, lichen, and salt film build up on exterior walls faster than almost anywhere else in New Zealand — particularly in Mount Maunganui, Papamoa Beach, and beachside suburbs where salt air is a daily reality. Cleanify provides professional house washing in Tauranga using low-pressure soft washing that removes organic growth and grime without damaging your paint, cladding, or weatherboards. Police-vetted staff, SiteWise Gold accredited, 20+ years serving the Bay of Plenty.

Why Tauranga Homes Need Regular House Washing
The Bay of Plenty Climate Problem
High humidity, coastal salt air, and regular rainfall in the Bay of Plenty create near-perfect conditions for mould, mildew, algae, and lichen to establish on exterior surfaces. Homes close to the coast — particularly Mount Maunganui, Papamoa Beach, and the Omanu–Arataki corridor — face salt spray on top of organic growth, accelerating deterioration of paint, weatherboards, and plaster cladding. Left untreated, mould erodes paint from below, wood rots faster, and lichen's root-like structures physically damage cladding joints. An annual professional house wash is one of the most cost-effective property maintenance steps a Bay of Plenty homeowner can take.
It Protects Your Biggest Asset
A clean exterior is the first thing buyers, tenants, and property managers notice. For homes going to market, a professional wash is a standard pre-listing step. For rentals, regular washing prevents the neglect-related deterioration that leads to expensive maintenance bills. Most paint manufacturers also require the exterior to be professionally washed before repainting — skipping this can void your paint warranty.
Soft Wash vs Pressure Wash — Why Method Matters
High-pressure water blasting is the most common cause of avoidable paint and cladding damage during exterior cleaning. Cleanify uses a low-pressure soft wash — biodegradable chemical solution and gentle rinsing. The chemicals break down mould and organic growth at the root. The result lasts significantly longer than a pressure blast, with zero risk to paint, weatherboard joins, or window seals. For Papamoa and Mount Maunganui plaster cladding, soft wash is the only appropriate method.

What Our Property Washing Customers Say

Had the whole property washed before listing. The agent said it made a big difference to first impressions. Fast, tidy, exactly what was quoted.
★★★★★
The mould on the south side was pretty bad. Cleanify sorted it in one visit — gutters cleared too. Highly recommend.
Frequently Asked Questions — House Washing Tauranga
Soft washing uses biodegradable solutions to kill mould and organic growth at the root, then rinses at low pressure. Pressure washing blasts the surface at high force — which strips paint, damages cladding joins, and forces water behind wall linings. For most Tauranga homes, particularly plaster cladding in Papamoa or painted weatherboard, soft washing is the only safe and appropriate method. It also produces longer-lasting results because the growth is killed rather than just blasted off.
Most Tauranga homes benefit from washing every 12 months. Properties close to the coast — Mount Maunganui and Papamoa Beach in particular — may need washing more frequently due to salt air exposure. Homes with heavy shade, south-facing walls, or older paint can develop mould faster and may benefit from an 8–10 month cycle.
Yes — when performed correctly using low-pressure soft washing. High-pressure blasting is not safe for freshly painted surfaces or plaster cladding. Our soft wash method is specifically designed to be paint-safe and is the method recommended by most paint manufacturers for exterior maintenance washing.
Our pricing starts from $215 for a 1-bedroom unit through to $824 for an extra-large home (all excluding GST). A medium home — the most common booking — is $494 + GST. Multi-storey surcharges apply. Gutters, driveway, deck, and fence cleaning are available as add-ons. See the full rate card above — all quotes are fixed before we start.
Yes. Gutter cleaning ($105), driveway and deck blasting ($83 each), garage washing ($66), and fence washing ($83) are all available as add-ons to any house wash booking. We recommend combining services in one visit to save on scheduling and call-out time.
Our soft wash kills mould and algae at the root rather than just removing the visible surface layer — producing results that last significantly longer than a pressure blast. However, in Tauranga's humid coastal environment, organic growth will return over time. An annual wash keeps it under control before it becomes established again.
Yes to both. We work regularly with Tauranga property managers, landlords, and commercial building owners. Cleanify holds SiteWise Gold accreditation, which qualifies us to service body corporate properties and FM-managed commercial buildings to the standard required by most New Zealand facilities management contracts.
