When it comes to exterior cleaning, using pressure and soft washing techniques can be confusing for many people. Both are effective, but they have different applications depending on the type of surface you are cleaning. Faithful Flood Soft and Pressure Wash specializes in both techniques and wants to help you understand the differences and when to use each one.
What is Soft Wash?
Soft wash is a cleaning technique that uses low water pressure combined with special detergents and non-abrasive chemicals. It is ideal for delicate surfaces that can be damaged by high pressure, such as roofs, house facades, windows, and more sensitive materials. In addition, soft wash is highly effective against mold, algae, and embedded dirt, providing a deep clean without scratching or damaging surfaces.
Benefits of Soft Wash:
- Ideal for roofs, facades, and sensitive materials.
- Removes tough stains like moss and algae without damaging the surface.
- The chemical solution helps disinfect surfaces, making them cleaner and safer.
- The technique is eco-friendly and uses less water compared to traditional pressure washing.
What is Pressure Wash?
Pressure washing uses high water pressure to remove heavy dirt and debris from hard surfaces like sidewalks, patios, and driveways. This method is perfect for removing tougher dirt like oil stains, accumulated grime, and debris from surfaces that can withstand the impact.
Benefits of Pressure Wash:
- Effective in removing dense dirt and tough stains.
- Ideal for harder surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone.
- The pressure can cover large areas quickly, making the process efficient for big cleaning projects.
When to Use Each Technique?
- Use soft wash on roofs, wooden facades, or any more delicate surfaces that could be damaged by pressure.
- Use pressure wash on sidewalks, patios, and concrete areas that need heavy-duty, quick cleaning.
Both techniques have their place, and the choice between them depends on the type of surface you want to clean.
