That’s where soft washing comes in. It uses a low-pressure water spray combined with specialized cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt, grime, soot, organic growth and other buildup. Soft washing is perfect for delicate surfaces and is also great for those hard to reach places.
Soft washing is typically cheaper than pressure washing and provides a safer, more efficient way to clean your home or business’ exterior. This technique can be done without causing damage or leaving unsightly streaks or lines that bad pressure washing technique can cause.
Soft washing is a cleaning technique that uses low pressure water cleaning and specialized solutions or soaps. The soap and water safely and effectively remove dirt, grime, mildew, mould, lichen, soot and other contaminants from various surfaces.
Soft washing is mainly used in buildings to clean delicate surfaces that pressure washing might cause damage to. Commercial and residential building exteriors such as stucco, wood sidings and painted surfaces can be safely cleaned using the soft washing technique. The technique is best suited to surfaces that are fragile and prone to damage caused by high-pressure cleaning options such as pressure washing.
Although soft washing is primarily used for house washing it can be adapted to wash almost any surface.
The primary difference between soft washing and high pressure washing for residential is the amount of pressure used to clean surfaces.
Pressure washing uses high-pressure streams of water to remove surface dirt and contaminants. In contrast, soft washing uses low-pressure streams of water and specialized chemical solutions to clean surfaces gently. Soft washing is the preferred cleaning technique for delicate surfaces such as roofs, sidings, and decorative stonework. Pressure washing is ideal for more robust surfaces.
Another critical difference is that pressure washing can cause significant damage to more delicate surfaces. For example, high-pressure water can damage shingle roofing, strip paint from homes, and destroy delicate woodwork. In contrast, soft washing is gentle and less harsh, making it ideal for cleaning surfaces without causing any damage from the high pressure water. Additionally, soft washing uses fewer volumes of water compared to pressure washing, reducing water consumption and the risk of water damage.
The choice between the two techniques usually depends on the kind of surface to be cleaned. Also the type and amount of dirt, grime and soot that needs removing.
Soft washing involves the use of cleaning solutions or chemicals that are designed to break down dirt, grime, soot, oil and other contaminants gently.
The most common chemical used in soft washing is sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleach. Bleach is mixed with water to make a solution. The solution typically contains between 3% to 6% of sodium hypochlorite for safely and effectively cleaning surfaces.
Soft wash solutions also include other cleaning agents such as surfactants, algaecides, and detergents. These also help to remove dirt and contaminants from delicate surfaces.
The surfactants act as soap, breaking the surface tension around the dirt particles, making it easier to remove them from surfaces with lower pressure water.
Additionally, the algaecides help remove any algae or fungi growing on surfaces. The detergents help in rinsing away the chemicals from the surface being cleaned. At Pressure Washed South East QLD we opt to use a Biodegradable soap which is much better for the environment.
