Pressure Washing
Allow us to help you make the switch from pressure washing and experience a safer, more effective cleaning process.
For years, pressure washing has been the standard for exterior cleaning, but despite its popularity, there are some significant downsides to this particular method. At SoftWash Systems, we believe that a clean exterior shouldn’t come with the risk of damaging someone’s property or the environment, which is why we encourage everyone to make the switch to a safer, more environmentally conscious option: soft washing.
Since 1992, we’ve been championing this innovative exterior cleaning method and working hard to develop our own soft washing technology and resources, including cleaners, equipment, and training programs, to ensure we stay on the cutting edge and provide our clients with the best possible exterior cleaning options. Here are just a few of the advantages soft washing has over pressure washing:
-
- Gentler on surfaces – Because pressure washing relies on high-powered jets of water to blast away dirt and grime, it can damage delicate surfaces like roofing and siding. Soft washing generally uses water at a pressure of between 150 and 300 pounds per square inch (PSI), whereas commercial-grade pressure washing can range between 3,000 and over 5,000 PSI.
- Less water consumption – Since the water spray used in soft washing is at a significantly lower PSI than pressure washing, the process uses considerably less water overall, making it more environmentally friendly.
- Longer-lasting results – Our specially formulated cleaning compounds contain biocides that target contaminants like mold, algae, mildew, and more, killing them at their root and eliminating spores. Because of this, the results last four to six times longer than what you get from pressure washing.
If you’re ready to make the switch from pressure washing to soft washing, we encourage you to contact our team today. We’d be happy to provide further information on the advantages of soft washing and help you make the switch to a greener, cleaner exterior cleaning method.

FAQs About Pressure Washing
At SoftWash Systems, we know you might have questions regarding our cleaning methods, including why we offer softwashing rather than pressure washing. Many of the common questions we get are answered below, but we’re always happy to answer any others you have to ensure you get the details you need to feel confident in our team. Keep reading, then give us a call.
What is the difference between softwashing and pressure washing?
Softwashing safely removes dirt, mold, mildew, algae, and other contaminants by combining low-pressure water with carefully developed cleaning solutions. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove grime, which can damage some surfaces. Additionally, softwashing lasts four to six times longer than pressure washing.
Is softwashing as effective as pressure washing?
In many circumstances, it is more effective! Softwashing does more than just clean the surface—it removes the underlying cause of stains, such as algae and mold, keeping your property cleaner for longer.
Can softwashing harm my property or landscaping?
Softwashing is safe for sensitive surfaces such as roofs, siding, stucco, and painted wood. Plus, our cleaning solutions are biodegradable, which means they’re safe for you, your family, your pets, and your landscaping. In addition, our team is careful when completing our services so that your landscaping isn’t harmed.
Is it okay to softwash my roof?
Softwashing is actually the preferred method for cleaning roofs, particularly those with asphalt shingles. This is because high-pressure cleaning can remove granules, damage shingles, and more.
What surfaces can be soft-washed?
Softwashing is effective on various surfaces, including roofs, siding, fences, decks, patios, brick, stucco, and windows. To achieve the finest results, we customize the cleaning solution and approach for each surface.
