Soft Washing Service

What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is one of the best ways to clean your home’s exterior surfaces. However, not everyone knows about this effective cleaning method. If you’re a new homeowner who is still asking, “What is soft washing?” Here’s everything you need to know.

Soft washing is a gentle cleaning technique that utilizes low-pressure water to safely clean the exterior surfaces of a house. This method also involves using cleaning solutions to effectively eliminate mold, mildew, moss, bacteria, and other microorganisms. The cleaning solutions are comprised of three main ingredients:

Bleach: The primary agent for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.
Surfactant: This helps loosen dirt, mold, and other substances from surfaces.
Water: This is used to dilute the bleach concentration.

Due to the use of low water pressure, this method is ideal for cleaning more delicate surfaces of your home’s exterior. These surfaces could be damaged if higher water pressure is used. The best surfaces for this type of cleaning method include:

Roof shingles
Windows
Glass doors
Lanais
Screens
Patio enclosures
Stucco
Coquina
Vinyl siding
Cedar shake siding
Wood panel siding
Outdoor furniture

What Are the Benefits of Soft Washing?

Regular soft washing of your home’s exterior will enhance its curb appeal and help maintain property values. In addition, there are several benefits to soft washing.

Cleaning Hard-to-Reach Areas - Soft washing allows you to easily clean hard-to-reach areas such as the roof and gutters without the need for ladders or scaffolding. The low-pressure water can reach heights of up to 50 feet.
Less Damage to Your Home’s Exterior - Using a low-pressure wash system reduces the potential damage to delicate surfaces such as roof shingles or windows. High-pressure water can cause granular loss on surfaces and remove the protective coating on roofs.
Longer-Lasting Clean - Soft washing solutions contain bleach, which kills mold and other microorganisms at a molecular level, preventing their regrowth and ensuring a longer-lasting clean compared to high-pressure washing.
Less Labor-Intensive - Compared to pressure washing, soft washing requires less labor and setup time, especially when cleaning second-story exteriors or the roof.
Avoid Safety Hazards and Accidents - Soft washing reduces the risk of falling or slipping as it does not require the use of ladders or high-pressure water.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions - Soft washing solutions are biodegradable, eco-friendly, and safe to use due to their diluted bleach concentration.
Healthier Home Environment - Soft washing effectively removes contaminants such as mold, mildew, algae, dirt, grime, and pollen, contributing to a healthier home environment for your family.
Contacting Professionals for Soft Washing - While soft washing can be done by anyone, it's advisable to seek professional help if you lack experience in this cleaning method. Professional soft washing is more cost-effective in the long run, saving you time and potential frustrations associated with DIY soft washing.

Should You Contact Professionals for Soft Washing?

Soft washing can be done by anyone. However, if you do not have experience with this cleaning method, you may end doing more harm than good. Here are some reasons why soft washing should be left to the professionals.

Professional Soft Washing Is More Cost-Effective

It may seem like DIY soft washing will be cheaper than calling the professionals. However, think about all the costs that come with renting pressure washers and buying cleaning products. There are even more expenses if you choose the wrong model or product. Without prior experience, DIY soft washing can also take longer than expected. Thus, more money is spent on renting the machine.

Hiring professionals will be more cost-effective in the long run. In addition, you can also skip all the stress, hassle, and frustration that may come with trying to soft wash an entire house by yourself.
