Soft Washing

What Is Soft Washing? The Safe Alternative to High Pressure

While many people associate exterior cleaning with high-pressure water, certain surfaces on your home are far too delicate for that much force. Soft Washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water combined with professional-grade, eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely and effectively clean your home’s most sensitive surfaces.

The Science Behind the Process

Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on “brute force” to blast dirt away, Soft Washing treats the root cause of the problem. Most stains on your roof or siding are actually living organisms—algae, mold, mildew, and moss.

1. Chemical Application: We apply a customized, biodegradable cleaning solution that penetrates deep into the surface.

2. Neutralization: These solutions kill the bacteria and organic growth at the root, rather than just trimming the tops off.

3. Gentle Rinse: After the solution has done its work, we use a low-pressure rinse (similar to a garden hose) to wash away the debris, leaving a 100% sanitized surface.

Why Choose Soft Washing?

• Damage Prevention: High pressure can gouge wood, crack vinyl siding, and blast the protective granules off your roof shingles. Soft washing eliminates this risk entirely.

• Longer Lasting Results: Because Soft Washing kills the spores of mold and algae, your home stays clean 2 to 3 times longer than it would with water alone.

• Eco-Friendly Care: Our solutions are biodegradable and safe for your landscaping, pets, and family when applied by our trained professionals.

• Warranty Compliance: Most roofing manufacturers (including ARMA) explicitly state that high pressure will void your warranty. Soft washing is the only approved method for cleaning asphalt shingles.

Where Do We Use Soft Washing?

We typically utilize Soft Washing for the following surfaces:

• Roofing (Asphalt shingles, Tile, and Cedar)

• Siding (Vinyl, Wood, and Stucco)

• Fences and Decks

• Windows and Screen Enclosures

Don’t risk damaging your home with excessive pressure. Choose the method that cleans deeper and lasts longer. Contact us today to learn more about our professional Soft Washing services!
