Tri-State Softwash began as a family dream to provide superior exterior cleaning services. Founded by Clay Evans, we’ve grown into Northwest Iowa’s premier soft washing company through hard work and genuine care for pressure washing our Northwest Iowa customers’ properties.
We specialize in gentle yet effective cleaning methods that protect your investments. Our eco-friendly soft washing removes stains at their root while being safe for roofs, siding, and equipment. Every job reflects our commitment to quality.
As a family-owned business, we treat every home and business like it’s our own. You’ll work directly with our team of professionals who take pride in every project, whether residential, commercial, or agricultural.
Tri State Soft Washing has delivered safe, effective exterior cleaning across Northwest Iowa, Southeast South Dakota, and Southwest Minnesota since 2012. With certified training, dozens of five-star reviews, and a soft wash system designed for lasting results, we offer the region’s most trusted alternative to harsh pressure washing. Locally owned by Clay and Tammie Evans, the company combines proven experience with small-town reliability you can count on.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning Soft washing offers a cleaner result with far less environmental impact than traditional power washing. The biodegradable solutions used break down into carbon and water in under three weeks—no phosphates, no solvents, no runoff concerns. Water usage is reduced by up to 80%, and fuel consumption stays minimal thanks to low-pressure application methods.
All chemicals and processes comply with local environmental regulations in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota, making it a safe option for both residential and commercial properties. For pressure washing in Northwest Iowa, this approach delivers longer-lasting results without compromising the health of your landscaping, siding, or soil.
12+ Years Experience Since 2012, homes and businesses across Northwest Iowa, Southeast South Dakota, and Southwest Minnesota have relied on Tri State Soft Washing for dependable, damage-free exterior cleaning. That kind of longevity doesn’t happen by accident—it comes from consistent results, honest communication, and real attention to detail.
With over a decade of hands-on work in diverse climates and on every type of surface, there’s no guesswork involved. Each project is approached with the experience to know what works, what doesn’t, and how to make the clean last. Anyone searching for pressure washing in Northwest Iowa ends up calling the team that’s been trusted in the tri-state area for over 12 years.
Low-Pressure Safety Not all pressure washing methods are safe for your property. High-powered systems can crack siding, etch concrete, and void roofing warranties. That’s why soft washing—with an ultra-low 80 PSI—is the smarter choice for delicate surfaces like shingles, painted wood, stucco, and vinyl.
The cleaning solution does the work, not the pressure, so there’s no risk of structural damage or surface wear. For homeowners and business owners needing pressure washing in Northwest Iowa, soft washing offers deep, lasting results without compromising the integrity of the building.
Local & Trusted Tri State Soft Washing isn’t a franchise or out-of-town outfit—it’s owned and operated by Clay and Tammie Evans, lifelong residents who understand the unique needs of properties across the tri-state region. With roots in Northwest Iowa and strong ties to surrounding communities, their name and reputation carry weight. The dozens of five-star reviews on Google and Facebook we have gathered over the years reflect years of reliable service and happy customers who recommend them again and again.
It’s not just about clean siding or spotless driveways—it’s about showing up on time, doing the job right, and being someone local folks feel good about calling. When it comes to pressure washing in Northwest Iowa, neighbors trust Tri State because they’re part of the neighborhood too.
Longer-Lasting Results Surface-level cleaning might look good for a few weeks, but it doesn’t last—especially in the Midwest where moisture, pollen, and shade create ideal conditions for algae and mildew to return fast. Traditional power washing blasts away visible grime but leaves behind the roots of organic growth, leading to quick regrowth and repeat cleanings. Soft washing goes deeper.
The cleaning solution penetrates pores and cracks where mold, algae, and lichen live, killing them at the source instead of just rinsing them off. For anyone considering pressure washing in Northwest Iowa, a soft wash treatment not only cleans more thoroughly—it keeps your home or business looking fresh for far longer, saving time and money in the long run.
Wanted to clean off my family’s gravestones but wanted to make sure the chemicals would help deter the molds from coming back so soon. I called the only person I knew that would give me information on what to use or if he even cleaned gravestones asking what his fees were. So glad to have called! Clay came over to the cemetery the next week and looked it over and explained what would be used and also why and he cleaned them the next day! Not only is he reliable and responsible but very knowledgeable and passionate about his work . He also makes suggestions for your benefit . No Job too small for him to make a trip and do the work. I very much appreciate his work and would recommend his services to anyone !! Look at the differences of the stones after he cleaned look like new!! Thank you so Much Clay!!
