Is Soft Washing Best for Cleaning Your Home’s Exterior?

The exterior of your home is often overlooked when you are committed to home improvement. Unless you plan a move or a more significant project, you may not think about pressure washing or soft washing the siding or exterior of your home. However, there are several benefits of washing the exterior of your home, from increasing its value and curb appeal to even improving your family's health. But, when the terms pressure washing and soft washing exist, you may wonder which service may be best for your home.

Soft washing is an exterior cleaning service that utilizes special low-pressure nozzles at the end of typically pressure washing wands. These tools are combined with biodegradable, green chemicals that remove all dirt and grime from your home's exterior without damaging the surface. Just like pressure washing, soft washing can remove algae, pollen, dirt, and moss, but there is little to no risk of damaging surfaces or killing the plants around your home. More than cleaning your home's siding, soft washing can be used to clean your roof, deck, patio, siding, and fence.

Soft washing is a safe and thorough method to clean the exterior of your property. It also helps to maintain your property's paint and masonry in the long-term. However, if you are considering soft washing versus pressure washing, pressure washing still has its place. Pressure washing and soft washing are both used on commercial projects. The process uses a high-pressure stream of hot water to blast away dirt and grime from your property's exterior surfaces. Pressure washing can be used for cleaning the exterior of your home, desk, sidewalks, driveways, as well as a plethora of commercial applications. It is often used for large commercial spaces or larger driveways, parking lots, or patios.

One of the primary differences between pressure washing and soft washing is that pressure washing is simply a heavy-duty option. When used on a residential property, it can be used safely and efficiently, but is too powerful for siding or stucco. Pressure washing gets tough stains out of concrete, while soft washing cleans dirt, grime, and even algae from the exterior of your home. Soft washing is preferred for homes because it is gentler, uses greener chemicals, and can still thoroughly clean the exterior of your home.

You may choose to use soft washing and pressure washing on your home's exterior, as long as you work with a professional that understands what they are doing. The appropriate chemicals, nozzles, tools, and techniques must be used to achieve the right pressure to avoid damage to your home. Of course, soft washing is preferred because there is the lowest risk of damage for residential homes while you also experience that vibrant, thorough clean.
