Keeping your home or commercial property clean and presentable is a top priority—but what’s the right method? While many people use the term “pressure washing” for everything, there are actually two distinct techniques: pressure washing and soft washing.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (1,500–3,000 PSI) to remove dirt, grime, and surface stains. It’s best for tough, durable surfaces that can handle the force.
Best Surfaces for Pressure Washing:
- Concrete driveways and sidewalks
- Stone patios and pool decks
- Brick walls
- Commercial parking areas
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with a cleaning solution to break down mold, algae, and other contaminants. It’s gentler but just as effective, especially on delicate surfaces.
Best Surfaces for Soft Washing:
- Roofs (shingle, tile, metal)
- Painted siding
- Vinyl fences
- Stucco and wood paneling
- Outdoor furniture
Why Choosing the Right Method Matters
Using high pressure on the wrong surface can lead to cracked paint, damaged tiles, or water intrusion behind siding. Soft washing avoids these issues while still providing a deep, lasting clean.
