Soft washing is the process of using low-pressure water along with specialized solutions to clean a building’s exterior surfaces. During this process, biodegradable cleaning solutions are used to remove microorganisms such as algae, mold, mildew, moss, and bacteria.
While soft washing helps make your outdoor space clean, it is also an eco-friendly option due to its gentle methods and environmentally conscious ingredients.
- Less Water Usage. When soft washing outdoor surfaces, low-pressure nozzles are used to help wash away grime. Instead of using high-pressure water to remove stains and dirt, soft washing relies on cleaning solutions to emulsify dirt and grime before it is rinsed away. Not only will you be saving water, but you will also be avoiding the risk of high-pressure water damaging the underlying surface materials.
- Uses Biodegradable Ingredients. Common ingredients found in soft washing solutions include bleach, surfactant, and water. Bleach aids in disinfecting while surfactants help loosen contaminants from surfaces. Water is also mixed within these solutions to help dilute the bleach concentration. Solutions containing these ingredients can eliminate microorganisms, helping you maintain a secure and healthy home.
- A Gentle Option for the Ecosystem. With the help of low-pressure sprays and biodegradable solutions, soft washing methods reduce the risk of harming plants and wildlife. You’ll be able to target tough spots with more control without damaging your landscape.
Overall, soft washing is an environmentally friendly cleaning alternative to consider when freshening up your outdoor space. If you’re looking to soft wash your property’s exterior, please contact our team at Maverick SoftWash. We are always happy to help.
