Cleaning the entire exterior of your home is a daunting endeavor. Reaching and effectively cleaning everything from the foundation right up to the roof is impractical for many homeowners. Pressure washing has long been a solution, relying on high-pressure water to blast away dirt and grime. However, its abrasive nature has made it problematic as it can also damage many exterior surfaces of your house.
The answer is a gentle yet powerful alternative – soft washing. Especially when it comes to siding, here’s why soft washing is better than pressure washing:
- Gentle yet powerful – Siding soft washing utilizes a biodegradable cleaning solution that effectively cleans even the most stubborn grime without the damaging effects of high-pressure water. In fact, it uses a low-pressure rinsing system to gently wash away dirt and grime while the cleaning solution does the work.
- Long-lasting – Siding can become a catchall for dirt and pollen, as well as a breeding ground for harmful organisms like mold and algae. Siding soft washing doesn’t just blast away these contaminants as pressure washing does. Instead, it gets to the root of the issue, eradicating the organisms and preventing their regrowth. This leaves your siding with an enduring clean that lasts four to six times longer than pressure washing.
- Safe on all sidings – Since siding soft washing relies on a specialized cleaning solution to do the heavy lifting, it provides an effective clean without damaging your vinyl, wood, or stucco siding. Pressure washing can cause siding materials to deteriorate over time, but soft washing is safe to use on these surfaces time and time again.
