What is Soft Washing?

 

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and other organic growth from exterior surfaces. Unlike pressure washing, which relies on force, soft washing uses cleaning detergents to do the heavy lifting, allowing surfaces to be cleaned gently and effectively.

Differences Between Soft Washing and Pressure Washing

  • Pressure Washing

    • Uses high-pressure water (1,500–4,000+ PSI) to blast away dirt, grime, and stains.

    • Best for hard, durable surfaces such as concrete driveways, brick, pavers, and metal.

    • Not suitable for delicate materials, as the force can cause damage.

  • Soft Washing

    • Uses low-pressure water (typically under 500 PSI) combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions.

    • Safely cleans delicate surfaces like siding, stucco, roofing shingles, wood, and painted surfaces.

    • Focuses on killing organic growth at its root, providing a longer-lasting clean.
