What's The Difference Between Pressure Washing And Soft Washing?

Pressure washers are typically used for exterior washing projects and spray water at a very high PSI, considerably higher than a soft washer. Pressure washers are available in electric and gas-powered units, with pressures ranging from 1300 to 3100 PSI in some cases.

Soft washing generally involves the use of soaps or detergents to aid in the cleaning process while pressure washing merely makes use of water and high pressure to accomplish the same results. Models with nozzles, such as soft washers, allow you to customize the form of the spray that is generated and increase or decrease pressure as needed. Only concrete surfaces should be pressure washed at full bore (4000 psi).

Is That Black Stuff On My Roof Really Not Dirt?

The accumulation of dirt and pollutants on your roof is a common occurrence. On your roof, dirt accumulates, but so does mildew and mold, which is even more dangerous. When there is simply dirt on your roof, it may act as a moisture trap, allowing pollutants to develop and spread throughout your home. Regardless of the reason, it is essential to give your roof a good roof cleaning to help preserve its durability.

I Have Old, Set In Stains. Does Your Service Clean Those Up?

Early stain removal is usually advisable due to the fact that stains can grow more difficult to remove with time. Even while older stains may sometimes be removed, it usually requires more time and work. A pressure washing is always recommended, regardless of whether the stain is new or old. This will help protect it from becoming more difficult to remove.

Do You Use Any Harsh Chemicals In Your Cleaning Processes?

While pressure washing doesn’t require any cleaning agents and uses high PSI to clean the surface with pure water, soft washing does use detergents to clean surfaces at a lower pressure. In the past, the only chemicals available would’ve been harsh cleaning agents. Fortunately, in today’s health and eco-conscious world, we have a variety of cleaner options that are biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
