Soft washing is a cleaning method for buildings and roofs that uses a low-pressure washing technique. At its most rudimentary level, a soft wash system consists of a tank for holding chemical, a pump and hoses for moving chemical, a trigger gun for controlling flow, and a nozzle to guide the spray. Water is used along with a mixture of algaecides, bleach, and surfactants, to safely clean exterior surfaces of organic stains, mildew, and algae. In New Jersey, a professional soft wash can cost anywhere from $450 to $1000 for a two-story home. The price depends on the square footage, pitch of the roof, surface texture, and presence of moss.
Soft Washing
High pressure washing is from 500 PSI to over 3300 PSI. Soft wash is lower at 500 PSI and below. A house with vinyl or aluminum siding will remain clean using soft wash for a minimum of three years. Stained or painted wood siding is always more porous and requires more attention. Additionally, soft washing wood every one to two years can help prolong the longevity of the stain or paint. Soft washing your home will expand the lifespan of your home’s roof, siding, and deck. Soft washing’s low pressure is safe for cleaning brick, wood, vinyl, pavers, and concrete. Soft wash cleaning process will not void any manufacturer’s warranties on vinyl siding or windows.
