Pressure and soft washing both have their pros and cons. When you work with the professionals at Procare Property Services, we can walk you through the benefits of bringing in our specialists to clean and protect your important surfaces. Our team takes extreme care to clean the exterior and hardscapes of your home without damaging them. Here, we explore the differences and varying applications of pressure and soft washing:
Pressure Washing
Although pressure washing can clean many surfaces effectively, homeowners run the risk of injury if they try to operate the machines independently. Unfortunately, many DIY enthusiasts find out the hard way that pressure washers have intense cutting power. On a high setting, pressure washers can cause severe damage to your skin. In the hands of a professional, pressures washers are great for cleaning the following surfaces:
- Decks
- Patios
- Stone paths
- Patio furniture
- Driveways
- Sidewalks
Hard surfaces with grooves that collect dirt and grime benefit from regular pressure washing. However, keeping a safe distance between the nozzle and the surface can help protect vinyl siding, wood shingles, and other vulnerable material.
Soft Washing
Soft washing involves a not-so-intense pressure of 500 PSI or less. Sometimes, the same machines can pressure or soft wash, depending on the setting. Soft washing gives you more flexibility for rinsing and cleaning surfaces without risking damage. During this service, a different nozzle diffuses the spray, decreasing pressure. You can also use cleaning solutions to remove dirt and germs from the treated area.
We use environmentally friendly cleaning solutions that won’t strip coatings on your home’s exterior. Soft washing may take a bit longer than pressure washing, but you won’t have to worry about damaging vulnerable surfaces.
Soft washing works well on the following:
- Stucco
- Vinyl siding
- Wood panel siding
- Outdoor wood furniture
- Screens
- Lanais
