Discover why soft washing is superior to pressure washing!
Pressure washing has long been the go-to method for cleaning homes and businesses, but the approach relies entirely on raw power. With machines often operating between 3,000 and 10,000 PSI, or more, the force can easily damage delicate materials. Asphalt shingles, siding, painted surfaces, and even concrete suffer from repeated exposure. While it may temporarily remove algae, mold, or mildew, the aggressive method can shorten the lifespan of your exterior surfaces. The good news is that it’s not the only option for exterior cleaning.
Soft washing provides a smarter, longer-lasting solution for property owners in Effingham, Illinois. Rather than blasting surfaces, soft washing uses specialized detergents to eliminate organic infestations like algae and mold at their source. This method sanitizes and protects surfaces, slowing regrowth and preserving the integrity of roofing, siding, and other materials. Unlike pressure washing, which often only moves contaminants around, soft washing removes them completely for a clean that lasts four to six times longer.
Another significant issue with pressure washing is the collateral damage it can cause. Landscaping, roofing materials, and fragile siding can all be harmed by high-pressure streams. Soft washing, however, is designed to clean effectively while minimizing risk. Our two-person system carefully applies the solution and manages surrounding areas to prevent unintended damage.
Choosing soft washing over traditional pressure washing ensures your property remains both clean and structurally sound. Your surfaces will stay healthier, safer, and visually appealing for much longer. For an exterior cleaning service that combines safety, effectiveness, and longevity, we’re the ones to call.
