What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a technique used for cleaning delicate surfaces that are vulnerable to damage from high-pressure washing. It involves the use of low-pressure water, combined with specialized cleaning solutions, to remove dirt, grime, and other organic matter from the surface.

During soft washing, the cleaning solution is applied to the surface using a special sprayer, which is designed to deliver the solution at a low pressure. This ensures that the cleaning solution is evenly distributed across the surface without causing damage. The cleaning solution used in soft washing typically contains a mixture of water, surfactants, and other specialized chemicals that help to break down and dissolve the dirt, grime and organic material on the surface. The solution is left to sit for a period of time, usually about 5 minutes, before being thoroughly rinsed off.

Soft washing is commonly used for cleaning delicate surfaces such as roofs, siding, and outdoor furniture. It is also a popular technique for cleaning buildings and other structures with historical significance, as it allows for thorough cleaning without causing damage to the delicate materials. Overall, soft washing is a gentle yet effective technique for cleaning delicate surfaces, and it is often preferred over high-pressure washing, which can cause damage and leave surfaces looking worse for wear.

Benefits of Soft Washing

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove dirt, grime, algae, and other contaminants from surfaces. Here are some of the benefits of soft washing:

Gentle on Surfaces: Soft washing is a gentle cleaning method that does not damage the surfaces being cleaned. Unlike high-pressure washing, which can damage surfaces, soft washing uses low pressure to apply cleaning solutions, ensuring that delicate surfaces like roofing shingles, stucco, and wood are not damaged.

Effective Cleaning: Soft washing is an effective cleaning method that removes dirt, stains, algae, and other contaminants from surfaces. The specialized cleaning solutions used in soft washing are designed to penetrate deep into the pores of the surfaces, lifting and removing dirt and grime.

Long-Lasting Results: Soft washing provides long-lasting results, as it not only cleans the surfaces but also removes the root cause of the problem, such as algae or mold. This means that the surfaces stay cleaner for longer, and you don't have to clean them as frequently.

Protects Surfaces: Soft washing not only cleans surfaces but also helps protect them. The cleaning solutions used in soft washing often contain special ingredients that help prevent the growth of mold, algae, and other contaminants, keeping surfaces clean and healthy.

Environmentally Friendly: Soft washing is an environmentally friendly cleaning method as it uses less water than traditional high-pressure washing. The cleaning solutions used in soft washing are also biodegradable and safe for the environment.

Overall, soft washing is a safe, effective, and environmentally friendly cleaning method that provides long-lasting results and helps protect surfaces.
