What is the difference between pressure washing and Soft Washing?

Pressure washing uses highly pressurized water to forcefully remove any dirt or grime from the surface that it comes into contact with. Soft Washing forgoes much of that pressurization in favor of chemicals. These chemicals are safe for both your home and the environment.

Is Soft Washing a Roof Safe?

Soft Washing is the only way to effectively remove roof algae without damaging the shingles and voiding any warranty. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends low-pressure bleach or detergent-assisted washing as the preferred method for cleaning asphalt roofs in order to prevent damage to the shingles.

What do you use to Soft Wash a House?

Soft Washing is the process of applying cleaning detergents at low pressure and rinsing the solution and any contaminants off the surface with a low-pressure stream of clean water.

Depending on the surface being treated, anywhere from 3 to 5 years or longer.
