In this episode of “I Am Lakeland,” host Don Burns welcomes Hunter Bedsole, a Lakeland local and the founder of HD Softwash. Hunter shares his journey from growing up in the area to launching a professional exterior cleaning business that prioritizes quality and surface preservation over high-pressure tactics.
Hunter explains the science behind “soft washing”—a technique that uses a specialized low-pressure system (only about 100 PSI) and specific chemical mixtures to clean delicate surfaces like stucco, Hardy Board, vinyl, and roofs without causing damage. He also highlights his unique monthly service for cleaning and deodorizing trash cans, a common pain point for many homeowners.
Whether you need your roof restored, your driveway brightened, or your trash cans freshened up, Hunter’s story is a testament to the power of a “local-first” business built on integrity and family values. 100
