The Difference Between Pressure Washing and Soft Washing

The difference between pressure washing and soft washing

When you're looking to clean up your outdoor living spaces, you want to feel confident that your surfaces will be taken care of throughout the cleaning process. One of the fastest ways to get your surfaces clean is to invest in the services of a professional pressure washing contractor. Most pressure washing contractors, like Softwash Solutions, LLC, offer professional soft washing as well to ensure you're getting the best clean for your property. How do you choose between professional pressure washing and soft washing? Why use soft washing? And what's the difference between these two cleaning options? If you have even more questions about your outdoor surfaces and how to get them clean, call the pressure washing and soft washing experts at Softwash Solutions, LLC today.

Pressure Washing

Pressure washing is an easy way to get your stronger outdoor surfaces clean. The high-powered water spray involved in pressure washing blasts away years of built-up dirt and grime in just one afternoon. Experts assess each pressure washing project they work on, whether they're working on concrete cleaning, paver cleaning, or any other pressure washing option. This assessment helps pressure washing experts choose the best cleaner options and pressure washing attachments for the project. Each pressure washing attachment provides a different spraying option to ensure your surfaces aren't damaged throughout the cleaning process. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly cleaners to break down smaller contaminants.

Pressure washing is great for surfaces made of stronger materials, such as:

  • Stone
  • Brick
  • Concrete
  • Hardwood

The danger with pressure washing is that the high-pressure spray can cause damage to softer surfaces, such as softwood, siding, and shingling. While pressure washing is a great way to easily clean large areas of strong materials, it isn't suggested for use in house washing projects, roof cleaning, or window washing to avoid damages to your property.

Soft Washing

Soft washing is a gentler cleaning option that helps to minimize the dangers of high-pressure washing. The soft washing technique utilizes a lower pressure water spray between 40 and 80 PSI. It's safer for your more fragile material surfaces including softwood, siding, and shingling. Like our pressure washing option, we utilize biodegradable cleaners to break down mold, mildew, and bacteria. The liquid cleaners get into all the tiny nooks and crannies on your outdoor surfaces. This cleaner is then washed away with a low-powered water-bleach spray that cleans and sanitizes your outdoor surfaces.

Soft washing is a great way to ensure your outdoor surfaces are safe throughout the cleaning process. Whether you're looking for a house washing or a building washing, soft washing is the choice for you. Hiring a professional soft washing company ensures that your home and roof are protected from damage. Because siding and shingles are generally made of more fragile materials, it's a good idea to use a gentler cleaning process to avoid damaging these areas of your home.

Choosing between pressure washing and soft washing can be difficult if you don't have a full understanding of the cleaning process. To ensure you're getting the best options for your home, you should speak to the pressure washing experts at Softwash Solutions, LLC in Huntsville.
