What is Soft Washing?
Nevin Shields • July 19, 2021
Soft washing is quickly becoming the preferred cleaning method over pressure washing for many reasons.
One of the main reasons why so many exterior cleaning professionals have switched to soft washing instead of pressure washing is due to safety.
With soft washing, there is very little risk of cause damage to exterior surfaces such as siding, shingles, window sills, decks, and more. As you may know, pressure washing can be very dangerous and unforgiving when used on delicate surfaces. It has been known to cause damage by tearing up wood and even removing layers of paint from siding.
So how is soft washing different? Soft washing relies on cleaning solutions to do the cleaning rather than a mechanical cleaning process such as pressure washing or power washing. It is similar to almost any other type of cleaning like dishes, laundry, car wash, etc.. The one thing they all have in common is that a cleaning agent is used to get the absolute best clean possible. Soft washing is the same way, you will be left with a much cleaner and fresher home when the proper cleaning solutions are used.
With that being said, not only is soft washing safer than high pressure washing for exterior cleaning, it is also much more efficient. The average time required to soft wash a house is about ¼ as long as it would take to pressure wash a house. This is due to the fact that soft washing only requires a coat of soap which can be applied from the ground in most cases whereas pressure washing requires every square inch of the property to be sprayed at close range.
Because of the efficiency provided by soft washing, we are able to take up less of our customer’s time during the day while at the job. This also means that you won’t have to hear the motor of a pressure washer running for an extended period of time.
Another reason we prefer soft washing so much is due to the fact that soft washing will keep your exterior surfaces cleaner for much longer. With soft washing, you are actually able to kill the bacteria and algae growing on your siding rather than just removing the top layer that's visible to the human eye. If you only pressure wash the siding without disinfecting the surface, the algae will grow back much quicker.
