SoftWashing

What is Soft Washing

It’s true that some exterior surfaces require power washing with very high water pressure; however, most jobs can be accomplished with our “Soft-Wash” method.

Soft washing is a cleaning method using low pressure, environmentally friendly and specialized solutions to safely remove mildew, bacteria, algae and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors. Water used to soft wash your home won’t have PSI over 1,000, which is less than half of the PSI used for pressure washing.

Some of the benefits to Soft Wash Power Washing are that it does a much better job of cleaning the house, as it doesn’t require high pressure there is less risk of damaging your siding, roofing, pavers and other delicate surfaces, it doesn’t require hot water, it uses less water than traditional power washing, and it is said to last 4-6 times longer than traditional power washing. As an added bonus we also fertilize all of the plants that are in the cleaning area.

What to Expect

We will use less pressure and a higher flow rate with hot or cold water to achieve a cleaner wash. Remove dirt, mold, and mildew before they have a chance to infiltrate your home or business. Mold and mildew, at the very least, contribute to common household allergies, and in extreme situations, accelerate rot and decay-causing structural damage. Don’t let your home be overtaken by mold and mildew. Get the soft washing cleaning services you need today!

When to Use Pressure Washing

Pressure washing uses a wand that expels water at 2,500 PSI (pounds per square inch) or more. While this amount of pressure is highly effective for removing stains, there is a possibility that it could damage some softer surfaces of your Bergen County’s home’s exterior. It may remove paint from wood, damage shingles, destroy window screens, or disturb your siding.

Pressure washing is best for use on surfaces like:

Concrete sidewalks, driveways, and walkways
Paved patios
Brick, stone, and other durable surfaces

When to Use Soft Washing

Water used to soft wash your home won’t have PSI over 1,000, which is less than half of the PSI used for pressure washing. Rather than relying on pressure to clean your home, soft washing uses formulated detergents and “dwell time” to clean those surfaces.

Soft washing is recommended for surfaces like:

Cedar shake
Wood panel siding
Stucco and coquina
Screens, screened enclosures, and lanais
