Why Soft washing is better for your property

The "Deferred Maintenance" Problem

Soft washing professionals have the right equipment and experience to clean your areas without damage.

As a homeowner, you may be eager to get rid of those nasty stains around the house.  Residential siding, stucco, patios areas and outdoor furnishings are all susceptible for Florida's harsh tropical climate.

When it comes to residential cleaning, the term pressure washing will often conjure up bad memories.  We often find customers who are afraid of further damage (usually the result of less than thoughtful contractors) and are reluctant to perform even routine maintenance on their homes for fear of further damage.  The maintenance lapses and the problems get worse.  While high-pressure washing sometimes has its use and benefits, new techniques and equipment used by industry professionals can alleviate these anxieties. 

What About Soft-Washing?

Soft-washing is a process that incorporates the use of low-pressure nozzles on the end of the pressure wand. When combined with biodegradable (people, plant, and pet friendly) chemicals, this technique removes stains associated with mold, algae, pollen, and dirt - all of which are closely associated with our southern climate.  This process is decidedly the best option for roofs, patios, fences, or siding.  Soft washing does no harm to either paint or the masonry of the structure.  In fact, the ONLY time we recommend or will actually conduct high-pressure types of cleaning is on bare concrete.

Only Trust Professionals

Both methods of cleaning have their place when you trust the job to a professional.  Pressure washing and soft washing pros know their surfaces and know what applications are best in certain spaces.  Succinctly, talk with a service professional about their equipment and their cleaning methods before you write the check.  Industry professionals should be able to easily explain what applications they intend to use to solve your particular problem. Check their reputations on Google and other sites, and ask pointed questions.  Pressure washing contractors who can't explain or demonstrate that they have the proper equipment probably should be avoided.
