What Is Soft Washing?
The Safe & Effective Way to Clean Your Home
Keeping your home's exterior clean is essential for maintaining its appearance and longevity. While pressure washing is a popular method, it's not always the best choice for delicate surfaces. That’s where soft washing comes in. But what exactly is soft washing, and why is it the preferred method for certain surfaces?
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from exterior surfaces. Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on high pressure to blast away grime, soft washing gently breaks down and removes buildup without causing damage.
How Does Soft Washing Work?
Soft washing involves:
Applying a biodegradable cleaning solution that breaks down organic growth and dirt.
Letting the solution dwell, allowing it to penetrate and eliminate bacteria, mold, and algae.
Rinsing with low-pressure water, leaving surfaces clean and refreshed without the risk of damage.
Benefits of Soft Washing
Protects Delicate Surfaces – Ideal for roofs, painted surfaces, siding, and wooden decks.
Longer-Lasting Clean – Kills organic growth at the root, preventing quick regrowth.
Eco-Friendly – Uses biodegradable solutions that are safe for plants, pets, and the environment.
Prevents Damage – Unlike high-pressure washing, it won’t crack, chip, or wear down surfaces.
What Surfaces Benefit from Soft Washing?
Soft washing is perfect for cleaning:
Roofs (including Colorbond and tile roofing)
House exteriors (weatherboard, render, or painted surfaces)
Decks and fences
Pool areas and patios
Solar panels
