Is Soft Washing Better Than Pressure Washing?

It's not uncommon for one of our ODB Pro Clean team members to suggest soft washing to a customer and have them receive a confused look in response. You call us for pressure washing so that's what you expect, right? More than likely, pressure washing is exactly what other companies quoted you an estimate for, and this is the first time you hear the term "soft washing."

It's unfortunate that so many so-called pressure washing pros still rely strictly on pressure washing as the only method they use. The industry has changed and is significantly advanced, and experts in this field now have a wide range of equipment and techniques to use for cleaning. Don't hire any exterior cleaning company until you learn more about their processes and how exactly they plan to move forward with cleaning your home's more fragile surfaces.

How To Decide Which Cleaning Method Your Home Needs

It's safe to guess that you don't spend much time thinking about your roof cleaning. At best, you realize it's been longer than you're willing to admit, and you call the first company name you come across. What you don't realize is that this practice could severely damage your roof. Aside from waiting too long to clean and care for your roofing system, using the incorrect cleaning method could cause more harm than good.

Roof cleaning is vital for many reasons, such as removing algae, mold, and moss. However, using traditional power washing techniques could cause problems such as:

• Water intrusion
• Mold and rot
• Compromised shingles
• Damaged flashing
• Missing granules or shingles

The Soft Washing Difference

Roof cleaning and other tasks require something less harsh than power washing. The obvious alternative is soft washing, which uses gentle cleaning solutions to do the brunt of the work which is soaking contaminants like mold at their root and destroying them, ensuring they don't grow back.

We still use water for the final rinsing, but not violently blasting away at your exterior surfaces with the threat of potential damage. Now that you know there's a safer and more thorough alternative to standard pressure washing, why would you go any other route? Steer clear of companies that use outdated and potentially harmful cleaning methods for your home.
