Here are some other differences between power washing, house washing, and soft washing:
Power washing:
Power washing employs high-pressure water streams to effectively remove dirt, grime, and stubborn buildup from tough, durable surfaces such as concrete, brick, and stone. This method is ideal for hard surfaces that can withstand the intensity of high-pressure cleaning, making it a powerful solution for driveways, sidewalks, and patios.
However, power washing is not recommended for delicate surfaces, as the force of the water can lead to issues like chipping, cracking, or even structural damage. For enhanced cleaning power, power washing can also incorporate a hot water burner, which applies heat to help break down grease, oil, and other difficult stains.
House Wash:
A house wash stands apart from power washing by avoiding the use of high-pressure water, instead relying on a medium to low-pressure application. This method achieves an ideal balance between effective cleaning and the preservation of softer surfaces and may occasionally incorporate the use of hot water for added cleaning power. Compared to soft washing, house washing uses significantly fewer chemicals, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
Despite its gentler approach, house washing remains highly effective, ensuring safe and thorough cleaning of a wide variety of materials, including stucco, painted surfaces, wood, and other delicate areas. This technique allows you to maintain the cleanliness and appearance of your home without the risk of damage.
Soft Washing:
Soft washing is distinct from traditional pressure washing, as it uses low-to-no pressure cleaning techniques specifically designed to gently and safely clean delicate surfaces. Materials such as wood, asphalt shingles, and aluminum siding benefit from this approach, as it minimizes the risk of damage while ensuring a thorough clean.
Soft washing is particularly effective for tackling surfaces prone to organic growth, including mold, mildew, algae, and lichen. By using specialized cleaning solutions, it not only removes these growths but also helps prevent their regrowth, making it an excellent choice for preserving the beauty and longevity of your property.
Key Factors to consider:
-Pressure Level: Power wash uses high pressure, House wash uses medium to low pressure, while a soft wash uses very low to minimal pressure.
-Cleaning Agents: A power wash may rely mostly on water pressure, House wash uses a gentle detergent to break down dirt and grime, while a soft wash utilizes specialized cleaning solutions to break down things like algae and mold.
-Suitable Surfaces: A power wash is better for hard surfaces like concrete driveways, brick and stone, and vinyl siding. A house wash is better for softer surfaces like lap siding, wood, and painted surfaces. A soft wash is suitable for delicate surfaces when a stronger chemical is needed.
When to Choose Power Wash:
-Removing stubborn dirt or grime from hard surfaces
-Cleaning large areas like driveways or patios
When to Choose Soft Wash:
Cleaning delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, wood, or roofs
Removing mold, mildew, or algae from exterior surfaces.
When to Choose House Wash:
Cleaning softer surfaces
Using a low to medium pressure as well as cleaning agents
House Wash Vs Soft Wash:
A “house wash” typically refers to a standard pressure washing of a house or commercial structure, using a lot lower water pressure to remove dirt, while a “soft wash” uses significantly lower pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to gently clean delicate surfaces like siding, roofs, and painted areas, making it safer for most home exteriors and less likely to cause damage; essentially, a soft wash is considered the preferred method for most houses due to its gentler cleaning process.
When to Choose a House Wash:
Cleaning heavily soiled concrete surfaces like driveways or patios
Removing stubborn dirt from hard, resilient materials that can withstand high pressure
