Because you’ve put a lot of care and money into your home, you want to make sure it’s treated with optimal care. Cleaning your home regularly not only boosts its outer appearance, but it can also help to prolong the lifespan. Despite their sturdiness, some home surfaces are actually quite fragile, which needs to be kept into consideration when cleaning the exterior. Pressure washing, for example, is much too forceful for most areas of your home. It could loosen siding, etch or splinter wood panels, or blow out roofing shingles if done carelessly. Luckily, soft washing is an alternative method that’s just as effective, but takes away the risk of harsh damage.
Soft washing is a simple technique for cleaning home exteriors that’s much safer on surfaces than the aggressive nature of pressure washing. Rather than using force to blast away unwanted debris, soft washing deteriorates dirt through an application of cleaning solutions that are specialized to target grime and bacteria. After the cleaning solutions have been left to sit, a soft spray of water is used to wash away the filth. This also means that returning growths like bacteria and mold are destroyed at the source, rather than just blown away into a different area of your home. Because soft washing is extremely gentle, it’s a perfect solution for cleaning more delicate surfaces like wood, siding, or roofs. You won’t end up with any forceful damage, broken windows, or serious injury—it simply lets the water and detergents do the work. Plus, most soft washing solutions are safe for both you and the environment, meaning that you and your surrounding plants won’t be subjected to any hazardous chemicals.
Although pressure washing can yield some fantastic results, you never want to use it on the walls of your home. Hire a licensed professional to soft wash the area instead, and your home won’t take any painful destruction.
