We use a method called “soft washing”. Typically, less than 1000 PSI is utilized to wash a residence. Little pressure is used, with the surface being washed by the detergents used, and then rinsed by the power washer. By utilizing lower pressure, there is less opportunity of harm to the pressure washer or the surface area being washed. We utilize this procedure on home siding, roofings, soffits, fascia and other locations that would get damaged from high water pressure.
We initially pre-wet any kind of plants and surfaces not being cleaned up, after that apply a cleaning agent formula on the home siding from the bottom up. The cleanser consists of biodegradable detergent mix and soap to permit it to cling to the surface area better. The solution is allowed to sit on the surface area till all the algae, mold and mildew is eliminated. Any kind of areas still left are hit with a second application of the solution.
When all the mold and mildew is gone, our staff washes from the top down and washes all traces of mold and debris from the house. Then the home is completely washed to get rid of all soap from the surface area, and all plants and other surfaces are completely water rinsed with reduced pressure. Elevated parts of your home are reached using a unique tip that can stream a low-pressure high quantity stream as much as 40 feet. On extremely high sections, wand extenders are occasionally attached. Typically all the washing can be done from the ground without using ladders.
Some parts of houses can be cleaned faster and much more reliably than using traditional pressure washing methods. Pros using the “soft washing” method have professional quality tools that enable high volume level water pressure to safely wash your home.
In sum, to protect your home from high water pressure which can harm your outdoor surfaces, it is best to employ an expert pressure washing firm that can also use soft cleaning methods when needed.
