Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water to safely clean the exterior surfaces of a house. This method also uses cleaning solutions to effectively kill mold, mildew, moss, bacteria, and other microorganisms. The cleaning solutions are made up of three main ingredients:

  • Sodium Hypochlorite: The primary agent for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces.

  • Surfactant: This goes in between surfaces to loosen up dirt, mold, and other substances

  • Water: This is used to dilute the SH concentration

 

Due to the use of lower water pressure, this method is ideal for cleaning more the more fragile surfaces of your home’s exterior. These surfaces would be damaged if you used higher water pressure. Here are the best surfaces for this type of cleaning method:

  • Roof shingles

  • Windows

  • Glass doors

  • Screens

  • Patio enclosures

  • Stucco

  • Vinyl siding

  • Wood panel siding

  • Outdoor furniture

What Are The Benefits Of Soft Washing?

Regular soft washing of your home’s exterior will boost curb appeal and help maintain property values. Apart from that, here are soft washing benefits you can enjoy:

 

1. You Can Clean Even Hard-to-Reach Areas

A soft wash allows you to clean even the hard-to-reach areas of your exterior. From the ground, the water can reach up to 35 feet high. Thus, you won’t need to use ladders, extension poles, or scaffolding to reach areas like the roof or gutters.

 

2. There Is Less Damage to Your Home’s Exterior

A low-pressure wash system reduces the potential damage to your home’s exterior. If you used high-pressure water to clean delicate surfaces such as roof shingles or windows, you may end up with a granular loss or broken glass. In addition, pressure washing can remove the roof’s coating, which will reduce its ability to reflect sunlight.

 

3. You Can Achieve a Longer-Lasting Clean

High-pressure water is not always enough to remove mold, mildew, algae, or moss from your home’s exterior. There’s also a chance that they could return. With soft-washing, cleaning solutions contain biodegradable chemicals so it can kill mold and other microorganisms at a molecular level. Not only are they removed from the exterior, but they also won’t grow back.

 

4. It Is Less Labor-Intensive Than Pressure Washing

With pressure washing, you need to be close to the surface you are cleaning. If you want to clean the second-story exteriors or the roof, you will need time to set up a ladder or scaffolding. It may also take a long time because you have more precautions when using high-pressure water. In comparison, a soft wash requires less labor and set-up times.

 

5. Cleaning Solutions Are Eco-Friendly

Soft washing solutions are biodegradable and eco-friendly. Even if these solutions contain bleach, it is diluted with water. Thus, it is safe to use. It is the same concentration that you would typically see in swimming pools or when disinfecting drinking water.

 

6. You Can Enjoy a Healthier Home Environment

If left unchecked, the presence of mold, mildew, algae, dirt, grime, and pollen can lead to health issues for your family. With soft washing, the combination of low-pressure water and cleaning solutions effectively removes these contaminants from your home.
