What is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a Low-pressure Method of exterior cleaning. Basically, we spray a solution on to the surfaces like Siding, Roofs, and Concrete it is low pressure about 100 psi or less. It is enough pressure to get out algicide on the surfaces. Then the chemical does most of the work, breaking down the organics like Algae, Mold and mildew.
When it comes to Roof Cleaning it is imperative that no pressure washers are going to touch your shingles. If you were to use a pressure washer on a shingle roof, it would obliterate the Shingles. causing damage and ultimately need replacing.
Recapping, Pressure washing uses High pressure to "clean". Soft washing uses low pressure Chemical Treatment to "clean" the surfaces.

How Often Should I Get My House Washed?
It can be challenging to know precisely how often to wash the outside of your home. Most of the time, simply looking at your house will tell you when the time for a good scrub down is needed. Run your finger along with the siding. If a lot of dirt is present, or your house just looks dirty, set up an appointment with your professional pressure washer cleaner.
Is It Safe To Use High Pressure Washing On All My Home Surfaces?
Not all surfaces need to be pressure washed. More complex surfaces such as decks, sidewalks, and driveways can handle pressure washing, whereas you should not clean softer surfaces like roofs with high pressure to avoid knocking the shingles loose. Other surfaces like vinyl siding can also handle good pressure washing, while aluminum siding can dent from high-pressure washing. A high-pressure wash can effectively wash wood clapboard siding, too.
Still, if contractors built the house before 1978, you might want to have the exterior paint tested first by an EPA-licensed lead remediation specialist. If you knock old lead paint loose, it will settle in your soil and never break down because lead is heavy.
What’s The Difference Between Your Services And Me Buying A DIY Pressure Washer?
This is the question that many homeowners have when they think about saving money and consider doing the pressure washing themselves. The truth is, pressure washing can be very complex and dangerous. The first step is finding a pressure washer that is suitable for your house's needs. Depending on if you need lights or heavy exterior cleaning, you may need to consider purchasing either a consumer-grade or commercial grade pressure washer. And that will take some time and research that can eventually become a headache in itself.
You also have to remember that a pressure washer is nearly 50 times stronger than your average garden hose. The pressurized stream of water can cut through many different materials, including heavy-duty boots. If you get distracted or lose control of the hose, you may find yourself with a large hospital bill instead of a clean house.
Then there’s the process. Besides possessing the ability to cut yourself seriously, pressure washers also can ruin your house. If you don’t apply pressure evenly, you might end up breaking seals or blasting the paint off your siding.
On the other hand, with a professional pressure washing service, you can count on experts who know what they're doing. They will have the expertise to use the correct equipment for the job and knowledge when to change the water pressure based on the materials. And with them, the odds are smaller that there will be property damage or personal injuries.
