Soft washing and pressure washing in Mount Hutton

Which Mount Hutton homes need a soft wash, and which a pressure wash?

New building picked up in the mid-2010s, partly because the suburb is close to Charlestown, and recent projects include townhouses in Herd Street. At the 2021 Census, 73.3% of occupied homes were separate houses and 21.6% were townhouses or semi-detached.

Rendered and clad walls, newer ones included, are soft washed so the finish is not stripped by force, while concrete paths, patios and driveways are pressure washed to suit each surface. Where townhouses share common property, the owners corporation is responsible for it under NSW strata rules.
