Soft Wash Pressure Washing Service
Soft washing is a gentle and effective method used for cleaning the exterior surfaces of buildings, particularly houses. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime, and stains, soft washing involves using a specialized low-pressure spray system along with biodegradable cleaning solutions. This approach is designed to safely and thoroughly clean surfaces without causing damage, especially on delicate materials like stucco, vinyl siding, wood, and roofs.
Remove Mold
Soft washing is particularly useful for removing algae, mold, mildew, dirt, and other contaminants that can accumulate on the exterior of a house over time. The cleaning solution used in soft washing not only cleans the surface but also kills and prevents the growth of organic matter like algae and mold, helping to maintain the appearance and longevity of the building.
Soft wash techniques are particularly suitable for cleaning delicate surfaces and materials that could be easily damaged by high-pressure water. Here are some surfaces that should be cleaned using soft wash techniques rather than pressure washing:
Roof Shingles
Asphalt, wood, and clay roof shingles can be damaged by high-pressure washing. Soft washing uses low-pressure water along with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove algae, mold, and mildew.
Stucco
Stucco surfaces are porous and can be vulnerable to damage from high-pressure water. Soft washing gently cleans the surface without causing cracks or other issues.
Wood Siding
Soft washing is ideal for cleaning wooden siding, as it prevents the wood from splintering or warping that can occur with pressure washing.
Vinyl Siding
Vinyl siding can become brittle and crack when exposed to high-pressure water. Soft wash techniques provide a gentle yet effective cleaning solution for vinyl surfaces.
Screened Enclosures
Soft washing is suitable for cleaning the delicate screens used in porches and pool enclosures, preventing tears or other damage.
Outdoor Furniture
Soft washing is gentle enough for cleaning various types of outdoor furniture materials, including wicker, fabric, and plastic.
Painted Surfaces
Soft washing is a safer option for cleaning painted surfaces, reducing the risk of chipping or peeling.
Windows and Glass
Soft wash techniques can be used to clean windows and glass without risking breakage or scratches.
Historic Buildings
Soft washing is often recommended for cleaning historic buildings with delicate architectural features to avoid damaging irreplaceable materials.
