Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing

What’s the right choice for your property exterior cleaning needs?

What’s the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?

Knowing the difference between soft washing vs pressure washing is fundamental to using the right service to complete the project you are trying to achieve.

What is Pressure Washing?

Pressure washing, as its name implies, is the channeling of a water supply through a high-pressure pump to force water out of a hose and nozzle at extremely high speed. It is most often used to forcibly clean hard surfaces of debris and stains when other cleaning methods fall short.

What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing has been part of the professional cleaning industry for almost 20 years, but it is quickly growing to become part of the repertoire of nearly every professional cleaning contractor today. The method has something for everyone, it is also kinder to the environment than most other cleaning methods, due to how it utilizes water more efficiently.

Cleaning with Care

The Art of Soft Washing

Soft washing is a highly effective cleaning process that involves a specialized chemical mixture of sodium hypochlorite, water, and surfactant being pumped through a low-pressure hose and nozzle. This method is typically used to clean delicate surfaces, such as shingle roofs and glass windows, as it greatly reduces the likelihood of damage compared to pressure or power washing.

Unlike pressure washing, which relies solely on water pressure to clean surfaces, soft washing utilizes the power of chemicals to effectively remove dirt, grime, and other debris from even the most stubborn of surfaces.

Although there are instances where high-pressure cleaning is necessary to achieve maximum cleanliness, Blue Flamingo SoftWash is fully equipped with the latest pressure washing technology for these situations. Our team of experts can assess your property and determine the best cleaning method to get your surfaces looking their absolute best!

The best choice for your property!

When trying to determine whether soft washing vs pressure washing is the right approach to completing your project, speaking to us at Blue Flamingo SoftWash will help you make an informed decision.

The Power of Chemistry

Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Preventing: The Triple-Action Soft Wash

Our soft wash process is powered by the science of chemistry, which makes it incredibly effective at cleaning different surfaces and contaminants. We understand that each property is unique and requires a personalized cleaning approach, so we always custom mix our cleaning solution on-site for each job we perform. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to cleaning and strive to maximize effectiveness while keeping costs low for our clients.

Weather elements such as rain and wind can create various problems for properties, and one of the most common issues is the growth of algae, which leaves unsightly green marks on surfaces. Traditional cleaning methods like pressure washing or scrubbing may remove the stains, but they don’t address the root cause of the problem.

Our cleaning services are specially designed to tackle algae and other microorganisms with a unique blend of chemicals and water that not only removes the marks but also sanitizes and kills off any remaining biological matter. This significantly postpones the length of time before the marks can grow back, providing a long-term solution.

Today, there are various types of properties and designs, including those with exposed woodwork, render, and old-fashioned brick and mortar. In the past, pressure washing could get the job done for bricks and mortar, but a new method is needed to ensure a universal clean for modern properties. As leading expert cleaners in the Miami area, Blue Flamingo SoftWash is highly experienced in soft washing and equipped with the latest technology to provide top-notch service to our clients.

Benefits of Soft Washing

Safer Alternative To Power Washing

Pressure washing creates erosion and strips away materials that might have been loosened by decay or aging. It may be suitable for some projects but not others. This is one of those that needs protected, not blasted.

It Treats the Infestation

Your house is not just dirty – it is contaminated. Regular pressure washing merely gets rid of the outer layer of this growth but does not solve the root of the issue. This will leave your surface susceptible to growth soon after power washing is completed.

No Damage From the Pressure

Poorly trained or unskilled pressure washers can cause serious damage to a roof or other surfaces, especially if it is older to begin with. Our highly trained professionals will clean your roof and leave it better than they found it.

More Eco-Friendly Cleaning Option

Power washers use anywhere from 3 to 8 gallons of water per minute (gpm). In one hour of cleaning, a pressure washer can use from 180 gallons upwards to 480 gallons of water. Alternatively, soft washing just applies roughly 60 gallons of cleaning solution, which amounts to about 40 gallons of water. That is a huge savings on the environment, your roof and our equipment.
