Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing

Soft Washing

Exterior cleaning is a must for every home and business; there are plenty of outside surfaces that need routine cleaning. The trick is hiring the right company to do the job for you. Choose the wrong so-called professional, and you could end up disappointed with the outcome of the job - and why is that?

Some pressure washers still use the same cleaning technique no matter what surface they're cleaning. While pressure washing is perfect for some materials, soft washing is better for others. Learning the difference will help you when it comes time to choose the right company for your job.

Which Exterior Cleaning Method Is Right For Your Job?

If you're screening power washing companies and the technician explains they'll be using the same method for roof cleaning as they would for your driveway, it's time to move on to another service provider. Pressure washing relies on high pressure through a concentrated water stream, while soft washing uses cleaning solutions to get results.

For instance, the PSI for power washing ranges from 1300 to 3100; yet soft washing uses the equivalent of a strong garden hose. The results can be about the same, except there's less opportunity to damage your property when you take the high PSI out of the equation.

Soft washing is often preferable because it:

  • Doesn't cause water encroachment
  • Reduces chances of mildew, mold, and rot development
  • Gentler on delicate surfaces and materials
  • Suds get into nooks and crevices
  • Kills algae at molecular level to prevent immediate regrowth
