We often recommend soft washing instead of pressure washing since the former is gentle enough for all surfaces.
Taking care of your home or business’s exterior is important, so it’s also important that you use the right exterior cleaning method for a given surface. Pressure washing may be the most well-known method, but it is best to limit its use to flat, hard, durable surfaces like concrete. For delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, gutters, and fences, soft washing is the superior method.
Soft washing has been around since the 1990s, although it has become more popular recently. Soft washing, which was developed as a gentle alternative to pressure washing, uses biodegradable cleaning solutions and low-pressure water to remove contaminants from outdoor surfaces. It breaks down dirt and grime while killing organic growth such as algae, mold, mildew, moss, and bacteria, which are stain-causing contaminants that can damage your surfaces if left unaddressed for too long.
Soft washing isn’t just safer than pressure washing; it’s also more effective in many cases. Pressure washing may be necessary to loosen extremely stubborn dirt and grime, but soft washing is the method you want to use for long-lasting results. By killing contaminants at their roots, soft washing prevents them from growing back as quickly. In fact, it produces results that last four to six times longer than pressure washing. It also uses one-third of the water pressure washing uses, so you can conserve water and restore your property’s beauty at the same time with soft washing.
