Soft Washing

Soft washing is the use of water-based, biodegradable chemicals to break down dirt and grime, get rid of bug nests and webs, kill mold, mildew, algae and bacteria – leaving the surface clean and sterilized.

Soft washing uses just one-third of the water that pressure or power washing does, lasts 4 - 6 times longer, and doesn't wear down or harm the surface like power washing frequently can. Soft washing also does so much more than pressure washing because it does more than simply clean your roof. The products utilized in the SoftWash System do not just tidy; they penetrate, sterilize, and eliminate the root of the problem.

Treating your roof with soft washing is more like pest control – the mix of safe, eco-friendly chemicals guarantee that the bacteria that cause buildup are not just partially swept away, but removed entirely.

Eco-Friendly, Biodegradable Chemicals in SoftWash

Oftentimes, people hesitate when they hear the word "chemicals," however it's truly not such a dirty word. Everything is a chemical, even water (hydrogen dioxide).

4 Reasons to Use Soft Washing

There are a lot of reasons to choose soft washing over pressure or power washing, but here are our biggest reasons:

  1. Alternative to pressure washing
    Power washing creates erosion and strips away materials that may have been loosened by decay or aging. It might be appropriate for some jobs and not others.
  2. It actually treats the infestation
    Your house isn't only dirty – it's infected. Normal power washing only removes the outer layer of this biomass and does not solve the root of the problem, leaving your surface susceptible again not long after power washing is completed.
  3. No damage from pressure
    Inadequately trained or inexperienced pressure washers can cause serious damage to a roof or other surfaces, especially if it's older to begin with.
  4. More sustainable cleaning option
    Pressure washers utilize from 3 to 8 gallons of water per minute (gpm). In one hour of washing a pressure washer can use from 180 gallons upwards to 480 gallons of water. Alternatively, soft washing just uses approximately 60 gallons of cleaning solution, which is made up of about 40 gallons of water.

    The cleaning solution is so effective that it lasts 4 – 6 times longer than power washing. Making it more sustainable for the environment and your wallet.
