Introduction

Not all cleaning methods are the same! Many homeowners wonder, what’s the difference between soft washing and pressure washing? While both techniques remove dirt, grime, and stains, they are used for different surfaces and purposes.

What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with special cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt, mold, mildew, and algae. It’s ideal for delicate surfaces where high-pressure washing might cause damage.

💧 Best for:
✔ Roofs (asphalt shingles, tiles, and metal)
✔ Stucco and wood siding
✔ Painted surfaces
✔ Fences and decks

What is Pressure Washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away tough stains, dirt, grease, and mold. It’s best suited for hard surfaces that can withstand the force.

💦 Best for:
✔ Driveways and sidewalks
✔ Brick and concrete walls
✔ Parking lots and garages
✔ Heavy machinery and equipment

Which One Should You Choose?

  • If your surface is delicate and can be damaged easily, choose soft washing.
  • If your surface is strong and needs deep cleaning, choose pressure washing.
