Learn More About The Difference Between Soft Washing Versus Pressure Washing

At Redline Exterior Washing, we specialize in pressure washing and soft washing, and each choice has benefits depending on the type of job. So whether you need your driveway, fence, home, roof, or windows washed, we have the right option for you. Many of the benefits of soft and pressure washing are similar, though the processes are different. These washing techniques break down organic growth, mildew, and algae that have built up on the exterior surfaces of your home. These microorganisms eat away at your home, breaking down your paint, stone, wood, etc. Mold and mildew damage can speed up the deterioration of your roof, walls, and fences by years if you do not invest in regular exterior cleaning.

Not only do soft washing and pressure washing prolong the longevity of your house, but they have visually appealing profits. You have probably completely forgotten what color your paint is, what a brand-new roof looks like, or that a screened porch doesn't have to be filmy! Your home will look brand new again when you get that grime cleaned away!

Moreover, pressure washing saves you money. The investment of cleaning your home is not much compared to the expense of costly projects like painting or roof repair. You can delay these costly repairs by years when you stop organic growth and mildew damage with roof cleaning. You might even be under the impression that you need a new roof when in reality, you just need a roof washing! Soft washing can even save you money on your electric bill! Moss and mildew buildups absorb light, increasing the temperature of your house. This forces your air conditioning to work overtime, increasing your utilities. A few more dollars a month may seem like a minor deal, but over time, it adds up! Regular roof washes will keep costs down and keep expensive undertakings in the far-off future.

But the question still stands: Soft Washing or Pressure Washing?

While the advantages are similar, there are some differences in execution. Pressure washing uses a higher force water stream to break down grime on surfaces. Soft washing, as you can tell from the name, uses a lower force water stream.

So how can they both be effective?

Soft washing is simplified by the use of a gentle cleaning solution in the water stream. This permits stunning results with less wear and tear on exteriors. Pressure washing uses higher power to achieve a sparkling clean with just water and no cleaning solutions at all. If you take a completely natural approach to life, pressure washing may be the choice for you!

Because these methods use vastly divergent water pressure levels, they are used for very different purposes. If pressure washing is used on too gentle a roof, it could cause the shingles to become very brittle. Soft washing was designed to be easier on surfaces, particularly your home.
