What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to clean various delicate surfaces. At Ten22 Pressure Washing our Softwash process starts with us applying a mixture of soaps, surfactants, and commercial grade cleaning solutions to the dirty surfaces of your property. Once the cleaning solutions have remained on the dirty surfaces long enough the solutions are washed off with low soft pressure. This soft pressure is the reason for the technique to be called “soft washing”. This more gentle technique allows for delicate surfaces to be cleaned without damaging them.

Does my home need to be power washed or soft washed?

Unlike pressure washing, which relies on high-pressure water to clean surfaces, soft washing is gentler and is particularly effective for surfaces that could be damaged by high pressure such as:

-Siding(vinyl, wood, or stucco)
-Roofs(asphalt shingles, tile, or metal)
-Windows
-Fences
-Decks

To protect your property from damage it is important to know when you should use high pressure cleaning methods or soft washing cleaning methods. Call Ten22 Pressure Washing today for your free Soft Wash Estimate.

What cleaning solutions are used when Soft Washing?

Most house or business exteriors can have a variety of things that make the exterior unclean. Typically a home or business will have organic stains, mildew, and green or black algae. To clean these surfaces Ten22 Pressure Washing uses biodegradable detergents and chemicals(often sodium hypochlorite or other mild agents). This soft wash cleaning mixture allows us to accomplish two things. First the cleaning solution allows us to break down the organic growth, stains, and contaminants. Lastly this cleaning solution cleans and inhibits future growth of mold, mildew, and algae, allowing for a more effective long-lasting clean.

Whether you have black algae on your roof or green algae on your exterior walls we have you covered. Call us today for your free Soft Washing Estimate.
