When it comes to cleaning outdoor surfaces, two methods dominate the industry: soft washing and pressure washing. Both are effective, but each is best suited for specific surfaces and needs. Choosing the right method ensures outstanding results without damaging your property.
What is Soft Washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure and specialized cleaning products to remove dirt, mold, and algae. It’s ideal for delicate surfaces like:
🔹 Ceramic tile or shingle roofs
🔹 Vinyl or wooden siding
🔹 Painted or fragile facades
What is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing, on the other hand, is used to remove tougher dirt on hard surfaces, such as:
🔹 Concrete sidewalks and patios
🔹 Brick walls and fences
🔹 Outdoor-treated wooden decks
When to Choose Each Method?
✅ Choose Soft Washing When…
✔ The surface is delicate and prone to damage
✔ The goal is to remove moss or algae
✔ You need to preserve painted surfaces
✅ Choose Pressure Washing When…
✔ You need to remove heavy stains and debris
✔ The surface is strong and resistant
✔ The outdoor area hasn’t been maintained for a long time
