Houston Soft Wash Pressure Washing Services

Soft wash pressure washing is a phrase that is being used much more these days in the pressure washing, power washing, and roof cleaning industry. What it means, is that you are performing exterior cleaning using a much lower amount of pressure than most pressure washing companies are associated with. Many pressure washing companies only use high pressure to clean, unlike Houston Pressure Washing Services. This can damage most of the surfaces on your property, and a company that doesn’t perform soft washing, is not a company you want on your property.

Many of the pressure washing companies these days fall under the soft wash pressure washing category, and if they don’t, do not hire them. If a company cannot safely clean your property without using soft wash methods, you do not want them cleaning your property, because they do not truly understand what they are doing.

What is Soft Washing?

Most people know soft wash pressure washing as cleaning a given object using a psi of 500 or less. When cleaning a roof, stucco, or other delicate surface, most people consider this low psi cleaning as non-pressure cleaning. There truly is no such thing as non-pressure cleaning. Some pressure will always need to be used to clean an object. With roof or stucco cleaning, the main objective is to wash all the mold, mildew, moss, and algae from the shingles or stucco without damaging the surface itself. This is next to impossible to do with high pressure washing. Soft washing uses the combination of chemicals and low pressure washing to clean a surface. This process also cleans in a safe manner.

Soft Washing, or High Pressure?

Almost all companies that perform pressure washing fall under the soft wash pressure washing category. If they have the equipment and the knowledge, they will probably be using the soft washing pressure washing method. There are times when a higher pressure method should be used, and is acceptable to be used. This higher pressure method is more commonly used on concrete and brick. And even then, some brick and concrete should not be cleaned with high pressure. A true professional will know when, and when not to use high pressure on a surface. Even with this higher pressure method, the real work to be done is in the cleaning chemicals used.
