Bentonville's Trusted House Washing Professional
I'm Ken McClary, owner and sole operator of Wash NWA, and I provide professional house washing in Bentonville, AR for homeowners who want their property looking its absolute best. Whether you live near the Crystal Bridges Museum area, in one of the historic homes along 8th Street, around the Bentonville Square, or in any of the newer neighborhoods stretching toward Park Springs, I've got you covered.
Bentonville has grown into one of the most desirable places to live in the entire South, but the Ozark climate hasn't changed. Warm summers, high humidity, and frequent rain create ideal conditions for algae, mold, and mildew to take over your home's exterior. That green film creeping up your siding, the dark streaks gathering under your eaves, the dull grime that makes your house look ten years older than it is - I see it on homes all across Bentonville, and I know exactly how to fix it.
I've been cleaning homes throughout Northwest Arkansas for years, and Bentonville is one of my most active service areas. From the established neighborhoods near NW Arkansas Community College to the homes along the Bentonville Trail system, I've worked on just about every type of house this city has to offer. When you hire me, you get the owner on your property doing the work - not a crew, not a subcontractor. Just me, my equipment, and the experience to get it done right.

Bentonville has a wide mix of home styles, from historic downtown properties to brand-new construction. I clean them all.
Vinyl Siding
The most common siding in Bentonville. Soft washing is the safest method because high pressure can crack vinyl panels or force water behind them, leading to mold inside your walls.
Brick and Stone
Many Bentonville homes feature full or partial brick exteriors, especially in the established neighborhoods near the Square. I clean mortar joints without causing erosion.
Hardie Board and Fiber Cement
Increasingly popular in Bentonville's newer subdivisions near Park Springs and along the trail corridors. Hardie board responds beautifully to my soft wash process.
Wood, Cedar, Stucco, and Painted Surfaces
Each material needs a tailored approach. I adjust my solution strength and pressure levels based on what your home is made of, so nothing gets damaged in the process.
Bentonville's proximity to the Ozark forests means your home deals with more organic debris, pollen, and moisture than homes in drier climates. The north-facing walls of homes near Crystal Bridges and the tree-lined streets around 8th Street tend to accumulate algae especially fast. I see heavy mold and mildew growth on shaded siding throughout the year, and pollen coats everything from March through May.
- Green algae film on north-facing and shaded walls
- Black mold and mildew streaks under eaves, around windows, and on soffits
- Yellow-green pollen buildup during spring months
- Road dust and exhaust residue on homes near busier corridors
- Cobwebs and insect nests in corners, soffits, and entryways
- Oxidation and discoloration from years of weathering
My Soft Wash House Cleaning Process
No high pressure on your siding. Ever. Here's how I do it right.
Property Walkthrough
I walk your entire home and identify problem areas, note your siding type, check for existing damage, and locate landscaping that needs protection before I start.
Pre-Rinse and Plant Protection
I thoroughly wet down all plants, flower beds, and shrubs around your home's perimeter. Your landscaping is safe with me - I treat it like my own.
Apply Soft Wash Solution
I apply my professional-grade, biodegradable cleaning solution to your entire exterior. It breaks down algae, mold, mildew, and organic staining at the cellular level - no scrubbing needed.
Dwell, Rinse, and Inspect
After the solution does its work, I rinse everything top to bottom with low pressure for a clean, streak-free finish. Then I walk the property with you to make sure it's perfect.
The whole process typically takes 1 to 3 hours depending on the size of your Bentonville home. Most standard homes are done in under two hours. I don't cut corners, and I don't rush. Every square foot of your exterior gets proper attention, from the peak of your gables down to the foundation line. The result is a home that looks freshly painted - without the cost of actually repainting.
Why soft washing instead of pressure washing for siding? Simple: high pressure damages siding. It cracks vinyl, splinters wood, erodes mortar, forces water behind panels, and strips paint. My soft wash approach uses cleaning power instead of brute force. The solution does the work, not the water pressure. That's why every major siding manufacturer recommends this method.

Frequently Asked Questions About House Washing in Bentonville
How often should I have my Bentonville home washed?
Most Bentonville homes benefit from a professional house wash every 12 to 18 months. Homes with heavy tree cover near Crystal Bridges or along the Bentonville Trail may need cleaning closer to the 12-month mark, while homes with more sun exposure can often go 18 months between washes.
Will soft washing damage my plants or landscaping?
No. I pre-rinse all landscaping before applying my cleaning solution and rinse everything again after the job. My cleaning products are biodegradable and plant-safe when properly diluted. I've never damaged a customer's landscaping, and I don't plan to start.
How long does a house wash take in Bentonville?
Most single-story homes take about 1 to 2 hours. Two-story homes or larger properties near Park Springs or the 8th Street historic area typically take 2 to 3 hours. I'll give you a time estimate when I provide your quote.
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast surfaces clean - great for concrete, but it damages siding. Soft washing uses professional cleaning solutions applied at low pressure. The chemicals do the work, not brute force. I use soft washing on all siding types and pressure washing on hard surfaces like driveways and sidewalks.
Do I need to be home during the house wash?
Not necessarily. As long as I have access to a water spigot and can reach all sides of your home, I can do the work while you're away. I'll send you before-and-after photos when I'm done so you can see the results immediately.
