POwer Washing VS Soft Washing

When you decide to clean your home's exterior, it's important to understand the difference between pressure and soft washing. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime from surfaces. Soft washing uses detergents and low-pressure water to clean delicate surfaces like siding, roofs, and decks without causing any damage.

What Is Soft Washing?

The main difference between power washing vs. soft washing is the amount of pressure. The soft washing technique cleanses or rinses with low pressure and cleansers or soap. And it is the best method to remove surface contaminants such as mildew, algae, mold and dirt.



This is because removing all these types of pollutants requires a little help from cleaning solutions. Soft washing techniques either apply the cleansers before the low-pressure rinse or at the same time. This allows the cleaners to do most of the work, and the water is used to rinse to wash it away. Soft washing is ideal for cleaning surfaces like wood, shingles or vinyl because it preserves protective coatings.

Soft Washing is the right technique for surfaces like stucco, vinyl siding, wood panel siding, outdoor wood furniture,  screens, and enclosures.

What Is Pressure Washing?

Power washing uses water with added pressure, making cleaning more effective. Changing the nozzle adjusts the pressure from 1,300 to 4,400 psi, allowing it to remove dirt, grime, mold, algae, and moss. Commercial and industrial settings often use power washing on concrete and walkways. It provides powerful cleaning for buildup on tough surfaces.

You may hear both terms, Power Washing and Pressure Washing. Both work well on stone or concrete driveways and clean the same organic materials. There are few differences between power washing and pressuring washing.

Pressure washing is best for cleaning driveways, stone walls, rough concrete walking surfaces, decks, stone pathways, and patio furniture.
