We offer both traditional pressure washing and modern soft washing services.
Pressure washing is a powerful and effective method for cleaning some exterior surfaces, using high-pressure water to remove contaminants. At Maverick SoftWash, we provide pressure washing services for surfaces that can handle the intensity of high-pressure water, such as concrete driveways, sidewalks, and brick patios. While pressure washing can be good for some situations, it’s important to understand its proper uses and downsides.
When dirt, oil stains, or mildew build up on surfaces, pressure washing blasts them away quickly, leaving a clean appearance. However, one of the primary concerns is that high-pressure water causes damage to delicate surfaces. For instance, using a pressure washer on vinyl siding, stucco, or wooden decks can cause cracks, chips, or water damage. The force of the water penetrates porous materials. This is why it’s important to carefully evaluate which areas of your Chesterfield, Missouri property are suitable for pressure washing and which ones are not.
In addition to the risk of damage, pressure washing can sometimes be too aggressive for removing certain stains, algae, or mold. While it may remove surface-level dirt, it doesn’t always get to the root of the problem, meaning mold or mildew returns. This is where soft washing offers an advantage. Soft washing uses a low-pressure system along with specialized cleaning agents to not only clean but also disinfect surfaces, addressing the cause of the stains rather than just washing them away temporarily.
If you have hard surfaces that need a deep clean, our team will assess the area in question and determine if soft washing or pressure washing would be the best option. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
