There are two main methods of cleaning the exterior of your home: soft washing and pressure
washing. Both techniques are useful for different applications, but it is important to know
when it is appropriate to use one over the other. But how do you know the difference? This
guide will help you understand the differences between the two washing methods so that you
can make an educated choice for your home’s exterior cleaning needs.
What is soft washing?
Soft washing is a gentle and effective method for cleaning the exterior of your home. It uses
low-pressure water and cleaning agents to remove dirt, grime and algae. The key elements of
soft washing are as follows:
Safe And Gentle
We use soft washing for surfaces such as siding, roofing, and wooden decks. These surfaces
demand a gentle washing approach in order to preserve the integrity of your home’s surfaces.
Soft washing cleans the surfaces thoroughly and gently without the use of any high pressure.
Cleaning Agents
Soft washing involves the use of biodegradable cleaning agents and algaecides that eliminate
mold, algae, mildew, and other biological contaminants, ensuring a thorough cleaning
process.
Long-Lasting Results
Your home will remain cleaner for longer with soft washing. The cleaning agents prevent the
growth of algae and mold for many months to come.
What is pressure washing?
High-Pressure Water
A powerful stream of water is used to forcefully remove dirt and grime from surfaces.
Effective
It is an effective method for cleaning driveways, concrete, and other durable surfaces.
Tricky to master
Pressure washing can cause damage to siding, shingles, and wooden decks when not
performed correctly. It is always best to consult a professional about pressure washing so as
not to unintentionally cause damage.
As you can see, there is a clear separation between when soft washing or pressure washing
should be used. This is largely based on the type of surface that needs cleaned and the
condition it is in.
