What is the difference between pressure washing and SoftWashing?
Pressure washing uses highly pressurized water to forcefully remove any dirt or grime from the surface that it comes into contact with. SoftWashing forgoes much of that pressurization in favor of chemicals. These chemicals are safe for both your home and the environment.
Is SoftWashing a roof safe?
SoftWashing 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 SoftWash a house?
SoftWashing 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. Typically, a cleaning solution for residential house washing will include sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and a surfactant or foaming agent.
How long does SoftWashing last?
Depending on the surface being treated, anywhere from 3 to 5 years or longer.
How many gallons does it take to SoftWash a house?
SoftWashing only uses 60 gallons of cleaning solution, which is comprised of about 40 gallons of water. The cleaning solution is so effective that it lasts 4 to 6 times longer than pressure washing, making it more sustainable for the environment and your wallet.
