AdditionallyWhat is the difference between Power Washing and Soft Washing?  Both methods, power washing and soft washing, can be used to clean a wide variety of surfaces: siding, roofing, concrete, brick, and cobble stone.  Both methods are effective at removing dirt, grime, moss, and algae from exterior surfaces and can be used on any type of exterior surface.

 

What is the Difference Between Power Washing and Soft Washing?

 

Soft Washing

Soft washing is a process that uses low pressure to safely clean the exterior of your home with detergents, algaecides, fungicides, and other cleaning agents.  The washing solution is applied to the surface at very low pressure (250-300 psi).  As a result of cleaning solutions, everything gets quickly risen off at a low pressure.  It causes less damage and saves time while getting rid of all the dirt, grime, algae, moss, and mildew stains from your house.  In addition to cleaning the home’s exterior surfaces, soft washing is also effective at killing mold and mildew that may have built up over time due to lack of maintenance or neglect.  Soft washing is a more efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly way to clean the exterior surfaces of your home in just one day.

Soft washing is more efficient than power washing.  It’s less time-consuming to clean surfaces with soft water than hard water.  Soft washing is a better option for removing algae, mold, and moss because it uses less pressure, so there won’t be any damage done while trying to remove these stubborn organisms.  This means that the job can be done faster and for less money.  Bear Claw Soft washing is more environmentally friendly than power washing because it uses less water.

 

Power Washing

Power washing is a method that uses high pressure to clean the exterior of your home.  A power washer can generate up to 4000 psi of water pressure, which is more than enough force to damage your home’s siding, bricks, roofing material, and other surfaces.  They are typically used on concrete, brick, or stone surfaces that have been exposed to the elements for many years without being maintained properly.

One of the biggest dangers of power washing is that it can cause serious damage to your home’s exterior surfaces.  Power washers use high pressure to blast away dirt, grime, and other debris.  This can damage siding and roofing material.  Power washing can even create holes in the surface if not used properly.  Moss and algae can be difficult to remove with a power washer because they’re embedded in the surface of your home’s exterior.

Power washing is a high-pressure process that uses more water than soft washing does.  This means there will be an increase in your utility bill because you’ll be wasting more water on cleaning than necessary.  You can also end up damaging your home’s exterior if you use too much pressure when power washing, which will cost money in repairs later down the road.  Power washing takes longer than soft washing because it requires more time and labor to complete.

Power washing will take longer than soft washing because it requires more time and labor to complete.  Since power washing uses a lot of water, there will be an increase in your utility bill if you use this method for cleaning.  Power washing is done with a low or high level of pressure.  More pressure doesn’t always mean a better clean.  Additionally, if the wrong type of nozzle is used on stucco or wood siding damage can be caused.
