Pressure Washing Vs. Soft Washing
It's important to keep in mind that there are many different styles of exterior cleaning. Pressure washing and power washing are terms that are used interchangeably, so if you see them offered by pressure washing companies, they're often the same type of method.
Soft washing, on the other hand, is very different from traditional pressure washing. It's a non-damaging treatment that's great for siding and painted surfaces. Pros will turn down the water intensity to low and utilize a gentle eco-friendly cleaner that is safe for your home's materials and surrounding landscape.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the pressure washing machines available to homeowners differ significantly from the ones that professionals use. When you compare the two, we can easily remove the paint from metal and even cut through it with the correct machine.
With rental pressure washing equipment, you might damage your asphalt shingles, decking, roofing material, or vinyl siding. Hiring an expert who knows what setting to use is a better option! Make sure they use the same soft washing strategy on your roof to prevent damage to your roof shingles and other roofing materials.
How Low-Pressure Washing Works
Depending on your home's surfaces, normal pressure washing utilizes a PSI somewhere between 60 and 300. For reference, the PSI of your garden hose is somewhere between 40 and 80.
Pressure washing specialists use eco-friendly cleaning solutions that kill harmful growths such as algae, mold, mildew, moss, and lichen. These types of treatments can also prevent growths from returning, leaving your surfaces algae-free for months and months.
