Soft washing vs. Pressure Washing
Keeping the exterior of your property clean can significantly enhance its curb appeal and protect it from damage caused by mold, mildew, and other pollutants. But when it comes to cleaning the exterior of your property, it’s crucial to understand the differences between pressure washing and soft washing to choose the right method for your property.
Pressure Washing:
Pressure washing involves using a high-pressure stream of water to remove dirt, grime, and other contaminants from the surfaces. This method is ideal for removing tough stains and dirt buildup from hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone. Pressure washing uses water pressure levels between 1500 and 4000 psi (pounds per square inch) to blast away dirt and grime from the surfaces.
Although pressure washing is an effective cleaning method, it can damage delicate surfaces, like wood, vinyl siding, and stucco, as the high pressure can cause cracks, chips, and peeling. Thus, pressure washing is not recommended for these surfaces and can only be used by professionals to ensure that the pressure is kept at a safe level.
Soft Washing:
Soft washing, on the other hand, is a gentle cleaning method that uses a low-pressure stream of water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, stains, and other contaminants from surfaces. The process uses water pressure levels below 1000 psi and a specialized nozzle that disperses the cleaning solution.
Soft washing is the preferred method for cleaning delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and windows, as the low-pressure stream and specialized cleaning solution do not cause damage or strip the surfaces of their protective coatings. Additionally, soft washing is effective in removing mold, mildew, and algae, which are common contaminants in humid areas.
Soft washing is safer, more effective, and long-lasting than pressure washing, and it helps prevent surface damage and extend the life of your property’s exterior. However, it’s important to note that soft washing requires the use of specialized cleaning solutions, and it’s best left to professionals who have the experience, equipment, and expertise to perform the job safely and effectively.
In summary, the main difference between pressure washing and soft washing is the water pressure levels and cleaning solutions used in the process. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime from hard surfaces, while soft washing uses a low-pressure stream of water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to clean delicate surfaces effectively. Soft washing is the safer, more effective, and long-lasting method of cleaning the exterior of your property, and it helps protect the surfaces from damage caused by mold, mildew, and other pollutants.
