What our customers say
I had my barrel roof cleaned. Very pleased with the results and the service. The pricing was very fair and the workmanship was great. My roof is clay tile and another great advantage is Brian was able to complete the cleaning without walking on the roof, which was a concern for me. It looks great.
Brian did a phenomenal job on our white tile roof. He showed up on time and was very professional. We are in Bradenton. We would give him a rating of 10 if possible!
Excellent! Brian has been cleaning my tile roof since I moved here in 2018. He is very professional, reliable, and very accommodating. His soft wash process gives excellent results. One time I asked him to re-do one portion that didn’t come totally clean and he responded immediately and came the next day a made it right. I highly recommend Brian and his business!
I have had Brian with Kid Gloves pressure wash my house, driveway and sidewalks several times now. I’ve also referred him to several friends and neighbors. He is always on time and professional and he is always careful to protect the surrounding grass and landscaping. His soft wash technique lasts years longer than any other company we’ve used and we’ll continue to use and refer this company. We highly recommend them!
I was between Brian’s soft wash and a traditional pressure wash option, but am very glad I went with Brian. The results on our 20 year old tile were as good if not better than any pressure washing, and Brian was polite and accommodating. I will be reaching out to him again the next time the roof (or driveway/sidewalk) need it.
I was recommended to Kid Gloves from a friend. They came out and gave an estimate for my pool deck, cage and driveway/walkways. I got two other estimates. Not only the price was reasonable but Brian was detailed, and most important showed up on time for the estimate. We set a date for the following week and he showed up as promised and completed all the work beautifully. He walked the job after completion to make sure I was happy. Top notch service, highly recommend.
Brian, the owner of Kid Gloves Exterior Cleaning Services, did an outstanding job on cleaning our roof, gutters, sidewalk, and paver driveway. His prices were very reasonable and he went the extra mile, cleaning off some mud daubers from some of the exterior walls. He even took pictures of a few minor cracks on the tile roof, a true professional, I would highly recommend using his services.
Great job! He is very thorough and careful. It was a shingle roof which needs extra care and he did a fantastic job. Roof looks amazing, like new. Price and service is very good, and he has a very nice personality too.
Fantastic job. My roof and soffits look like new. Courteous owner. Protected my plants and cleaned up after himself. He did a great job. Very reasonably priced. Will use again! Support our former military.
We had our roof cleaned by Kid Gloves multiple times over the years and the results were fantastic. We also recently had the lanai pavers cleaned and sealed which also came out great. They make sure you’re happy with each project.
Brian showed up right on time, was very reasonably priced, and did an excellent job. I really appreciated the care he took to protect my plants while working, which showed his attention to detail and professionalism. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish, and my home looks great. I would definitely hire him again!
Brian was prompt, professional, and did a wonderful job! My roof was really dirty, and he took his time getting it nice and clean. He also did my sidewalks and driveway. The neighbors have all noticed what a great job he did. I would definitely use him again, and highly recommend Kid Gloves.
Kid Gloves Exterior Cleaning is a veteran-owned soft wash company serving Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Port Charlotte, Englewood and Rotonda West for 25 years. Soft washing uses low pressure and a cleaning solution to kill mold, mildew and algae at the root, so roofs, stucco and screens get clean without being blasted.

What is soft washing?
Pressure washing relies on force. Soft washing relies on the cleaning solution. We apply it at about the pressure of a garden hose, let it work on the organic growth, then rinse. The black streaks on a tile roof and the green film on stucco are living algae and mildew, and soft washing kills them instead of just knocking off the top layer, which is why the results last much longer.
What we soft wash
- Tile, shingle and metal roofs: removes black algae streaks without cracking tiles or stripping shingle granules
- Stucco and house walls: lifts mildew and dirt without damaging paint
- Pool cages, lanais and screen enclosures: brightens frames and screens without tearing them
- Gutters, soffits and fascia: clears black streaks and mildew
- Vinyl and wood fences: removes green algae and mildew

Why soft wash instead of pressure wash?
- Safer for your home. High pressure can crack roof tiles, etch stucco, force water behind siding and tear screens. Soft washing avoids that.
- Cleaner for longer. Killing algae at the root slows regrowth, so your roof and walls stay clean longer between visits.
- Gentle on landscaping. We wet and protect plants before we start and rinse afterward.
- The right tool for each surface. We still pressure wash driveways, sidewalks and pavers, where more force is the right choice.

Soft washing FAQ
Is soft washing safe for my roof?
Yes. Soft washing uses low pressure, so it cleans without the force that can crack tiles, loosen barrel tiles or wear down shingles. Our crew can often clean tile roofs without walking on them.
How long does a soft wash last?
Because the algae is killed rather than just rinsed off, a soft washed roof or wall typically stays clean much longer than one that was only pressure washed. How long depends on shade, trees and moisture around your home.
Will it hurt my plants?
We pre-wet and protect landscaping before we start and rinse plants afterward. Protecting your yard is a big part of why we’re called Kid Gloves.
