Blog Soft Washing vs. Traditional Pressure Washing: Why Prime Time Recommends Both Sep 06, 2024

When it comes to cleaning your home's exterior, there are two main techniques that Prime Time Pressure Washing & Roof Cleaning offers: traditional pressure washing and soft washing. Both methods have their own advantages and are effective in different situations. That's why Prime Time recommends using both to ensure the best results for your property.

Traditional pressure washing is a powerful cleaning method that uses high-pressure water to remove tough stains, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, decks, and fences. It is especially effective for removing built-up grime and dirt from hard surfaces. However, traditional pressure washing can be too harsh for more delicate surfaces like stucco, vinyl siding, and roof shingles. Using high pressure on these surfaces can cause damage, such as chipping, cracking, or water infiltration.

On the other hand, soft washing is a gentle cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely and effectively clean delicate surfaces. Soft washing is ideal for cleaning surfaces like roof shingles, stucco, vinyl siding, and wood without causing any damage. This method is also great for removing organic growth like mold, mildew, algae, and moss from your home's exterior.

At Prime Time, we understand that every surface is different and requires a personalized approach to cleaning. That's why we recommend using a combination of both traditional pressure washing and soft washing to ensure the best results for your property. By using traditional pressure washing on hard surfaces and soft washing on delicate surfaces, we can effectively remove dirt, stains, and contaminants while protecting the integrity of your home's exterior.

Another reason why Prime Time recommends using both traditional pressure washing and soft washing is that each method complements the other. While traditional pressure washing is great for removing tough stains and grime from hard surfaces, soft washing can provide a deeper clean by killing and removing algae, mold, and mildew at the root. By combining both methods, we can ensure that your home's exterior is not only clean but also protected from future growth.

In conclusion, Prime Time Pressure Washing & Roof Cleaning recommends using both traditional pressure washing and soft washing to achieve the best results for your property. By utilizing the strengths of each method, we can effectively clean your home's exterior while protecting delicate surfaces from damage.
