What is soft washing?
The alternative to Power Washing, Soft washing!
A big misconception is that pressure washing and soft washing are the same things but this just isn't the case. Pressure washing uses high amounts of water pressure to clean certain surfaces like concrete or stone without worrying about if they will get damaged in the process. Soft washing, on the other hand, doesn't use as much water pressure and most experts recommend using it on delicate surfaces such as stucco, vinyl, fiber cement board, or brick because it gives a gentler approach. Before you decide to hire someone to power wash your next project you should do more research first around best practices for cleaning delicate surfaces and make sure you choose a reputable company that knows what they are doing and can educate you on what safety precautions need to be taken before starting work.
What is soft washing?
Soft washing is comprised of using biodegradable soaps and water at a low pressure similar to a garden hose to safely and thoroughly clean your exterior. The soaps are applied with commercial equipment at low pressure to effectively kill the microbes. Once the siding has the solution applied appropriate dwell time occurs then water is used to rinse the house.
Soft washing is a process that maintains the integrity of the building's surface while removing biofilm and microbial contaminants.
The cleaning process needs to be done as soon as possible, as waiting too long will allow the biofilm to become more established and difficult to remove.
