House washing in Bonito is a chemistry job — soft wash, dwell time, rinse. The subdivision sits in southeast Meridian between Locust Grove and Eagle Road, just south of Overland in 83642, and it is platted 2003–2007 across 3 phases — mature landscaping, original windows on most homes. At roughly 93 acres it is a mid-sized pocket. The Boise Project Board of Control supplies the pressurized irrigation on these lots.

Start with the build stage — Bonito is platted 2003–2007 across 3 phases — mature landscaping, original windows on most homes (ZIP 83642, about 93 acres). Meridian exteriors collect three separate things. On the north and east elevations, where sun never fully dries the wall, you get algae and mildew as a green-black film. Along the bottom three feet you get mud splash and irrigation overspray staining — the same canal mineral that marks the glass marks the siding, and on light-colored vinyl it reads as a permanent dingy band. Everywhere else you get Eagle Road traffic film — brake dust and diesel particulate carried off the busiest arterial in Ada County. Each needs different treatment, which is why a single pass with a pressure wand does a poor job on all three. We see it most consistently on the homes along E Goldstone Dr.
House washing is a chemical process, not a force one. We apply a surfactant-and-sodium-hypochlorite blend at low pressure, give it dwell time to kill the organic growth at the root, and rinse. High pressure on siding drives water up behind lap joints and into the wall assembly, strips the chalking layer off aging vinyl, and on the stucco and manufactured stone common in newer Meridian elevations it will take the finish off outright. Soft washing kills the algae rather than knocking the top off it, which is why it stays gone measurably longer. It is the single most common thing we get called about in Bonito.
We pre-wet and post-rinse every bed on the wash path, tarp anything sensitive, and keep the mix off turf. Meridian yards are almost all on pressurized irrigation with the heads set close to the foundation, so we also make sure the system is not running mid-wash — a cycle firing partway through re-wets the wall and streaks it. If you know your zone schedule, tell us when we book and we will work around it. If you are on E Tarpon Dr or one of the streets off it, we are likely already working nearby.
Soft washing removes organic growth and dirt. It will not fix oxidised vinyl, it will not remove efflorescence out of masonry, and it does not repaint anything. If your siding has chalked past the point of washing, we will say so before we start rather than after. Reflekt has been operating since April 2025, which is a shorter history than some of the companies you may be comparing us against. We would rather you knew that up front.
Bundling with window cleaning saves a trip charge and gets the sequence right. We will tell you honestly if you do not need the second service yet — a bundle you do not need is not a saving.

Not at soft-wash pressure. The mix is diluted, the beds are pre-wet and rinsed, and we never drive water behind lap joints. We are fully insured, and we will point out anything already failing before we wash it.
Every one to two years for most homes. North-facing walls and any elevation shaded by a fence or neighbouring house grow back faster and may want annual attention.
$0.18 per square foot for soft washing, quoted off the wall area rather than the home's floor plan. Combining it with a window cleaning on the same visit is the cheapest way to do both.
The wash will rinse them but it is not a window cleaning — soft-wash mix leaves residue on glass. If you want the windows done properly, book them together and we do the glass after the walls, in that order for a reason.
