Getting the exterior of any residential or commercial property to look its best generally takes a variety of techniques to ensure quality results. That is one reason why it is generally a good idea to turn to a professional. They know when standard pressure washing is a safe process and when it is best to utilize a soft washing technique instead.
We use a simple method, free of pressure washing: application of water and/or soap to the soft surface, scrubbing with the appropriate brush, and rinsing off with a hose. It requires more effort than conventional soft washing, but we’re ok with that. It also doesn’t use harsh chemicals, gasoline, or create loud engine noise.
There are several scenarios in which soft washing is preferable, including:
- Gutter cleaning- Using heavy pressure washing equipment on the gutters could cause them to come away from the structure, weaken the joints, and damage them in places. Our simple soft washing method gets them looking clean again without those concerns.
- Window frame cleaning- While most pressure washing equipment might not exactly break the windows, there is that potential, as well as putting pressure on the seals, which could weaken them, resulting in leaks. Soft washing is often a better solution for cleaning window frames.
- Solar panel cleaning- Solar panels are a major investment so you wouldn’t want to put them at risk by using a harsh cleaning method. Soft washing is an ideal option to remove the grime that lowers their efficiency.
- Any softer building material- There are many different building materials that can be damaged by anything harsher than soft washing.
