Is Pressure Washing Safe For My Home?

In those cases, a soft washing method may be a better alternative; this is the method that LP Pressure Washing uses.

Soft washing is a gentle and effective cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water and a specialized cleaning solution to remove dirt, grime, and other debris from the exterior surfaces of a home. Unlike pressure washing, which relies on high-pressure water to clean surfaces, soft washing is much gentler and less likely to cause damage.

When cleaning a house using a soft washing method, a cleaning solution is applied to the surface using a low-pressure sprayer. The cleaning solution is allowed to sit on the surface for several minutes to break down and dissolve dirt and grime. Then, the surface is rinsed clean using a low-pressure rinse, which ensures that no damage is done to the surface being cleaned.

There are several benefits to using a soft washing method over pressure washing:

1.       Reduced risk of damage: Soft washing is much gentler than pressure washing, which reduces the risk of damage to surfaces such as siding, roofing, and windows.

2.       Longer-lasting results: Soft washing uses a specialized cleaning solution that is designed to kill algae, mold, and other organisms that cause discoloration and damage to surfaces. This means that the results of a soft wash will last longer than a pressure wash.

3.       Improved curb appeal: Soft washing removes dirt, grime, and other stains from the exterior of a home, which improves the overall curb appeal and can increase the value of the home.

4.       Safer for the environment and all types of siding: Soft washing uses less water than pressure washing, which makes it a more environmentally friendly cleaning method. The soap used will not affect plants or life around the cleaning area. All types of siding including vinyl, tin, wood, stucco, brick, stone etc. is effective.

In summary, while pressure washing is generally safe for most types of homes and surfaces, a soft washing method may be a better option in certain circumstances. Soft washing is a gentle and effective cleaning technique that is less likely to cause damage and offers several benefits over pressure washing, including longer-lasting results, improved curb appeal, and quicker cleaning time.

At LP Pressure Washing we use a soft washing method to clean all types of siding that homes may have.
