Can low-pressure washing clean stucco safely?

A neighbor mentioned soft washing for exterior walls, but I'm not sure what that means in practice. Does it work on older stucco in Fort Myers without causing water to get behind the finish?

We had our older Fort Myers stucco washed with low pressure and it turned out fine. I’d make sure whoever does it knows stucco and will avoid spraying directly into cracks, vents, or around loose trim.

Soft washing generally means applying a suitable cleaner at low pressure rather than trying to blast the dirt off. On older stucco, a careful operator should check for cracks and use a gentle rinse so water isn’t forced behind the finish.
