What is soft wash?

Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses a mixture of water-based cleaning solutions, including surfactants and biodegradable bleach (sodium hypochlorite), to clean surfaces like roofs, siding, and decks

How does it work?

Solution Application: A pump system applies a cleaning solution that typically contains bleach, water, and a surfactant.

1. Solution Application: A pump system applies a cleaning solution that typically contains bleach, water, and a surfactant.

2. Dwell Time: The solution is allowed to sit on the surface for a short period (around 10 minutes) to emulsify dirt and kill organic growth.

3. Rinsing: The surface is then rinsed with water.

What It's Used For?

Soft washing is ideal for surfaces that can be damaged by high-pressure washing: 

• Roofs: Prevents damage to shingles and extends their lifespan by killing algae that causes dark streaks. 

• Siding: Cleans dirt and grime from various types of siding without causing damage. 

• Wood Decks and Fences: Eliminates mold and mildew, preventing rot. 

• Windows and Screens: A gentle method to clean glass surfaces. 

What are the benefits?

• Gentle on Surfaces: Protects fragile exteriors from damage, unlike high-pressure washing. 

• Longer-Lasting Results: Kills organic growth at the source, so the clean lasts significantly longer. 

• Environmentally Friendly: Uses significantly less water and relies on biodegradable chemicals that are gentle on surrounding plants. 

• Reaches Difficult Areas: The low-pressure system can reach high or elevated areas without ladders.
