Keeping your home’s exterior looking spotless can be a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be. If you’re stuck spending endless hours sweeping your walk, sudsing your siding, and scrubbing at stains on the exterior of your gutters, soft washing can be your one-stop solution for all your exterior cleaning needs.
What Is Soft Washing?
With so many marketing promises on the market, what is soft washing, really? What makes it the perfect strategy for cleaning so many areas around your home?
Soft washing is similar to pressure washing, as both use a pressurized stream of water to remove dirt and grime buildup. However, soft washing is a gentler method, using far lower water pressure combined with a cleaning solution to prevent the regrowth of algae and mold, keeping your surfaces clean longer.
Soft washing can be used on more delicate surfaces where pressure washing will be too rough, including:
- Walkways
- Roofing
- Gutter Exteriors
- Decks
Are Soft Washing Plant- and Kid-Safe?
Since soft washing uses a cleaning solution instead of just plain water, one of the first questions many homeowners ask is whether it’s safe for landscaping, pets, and kids. Soft washing is safe for all three, but you should make sure your pets and kids are indoors while soft washing is taking place, safely out of the way of ladders and slippery surfaces, protecting both your family and the safety of your cleaning crew. Covering plants located close to your home to prevent excess exposure to the cleaning solutions and watering them thoroughly after the soft washing is complete can further ensure they keep flourishing.
