Pressure Washing
Not all surfaces should be cleaned the same way. Understanding the difference between pressure washing and soft washing protects your property and delivers better results.
Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing
Pressure Washing
High-pressure water (2,500–4,000 PSI) blasts away built-up grime on hard surfaces.
Best for: Concrete, brick, stone, pavers
Soft Washing
Low-pressure application with cleaning agents that kill mold, algae, and bacteria at the root.
Best for: Vinyl siding, wood, roofing, painted surfaces
Why Clean Your Exterior?
- Increases curb appeal and property value
- Prevents long-term damage from mold and mildew

What We Clean
FAQ
What's the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (2,500–4,000 PSI) for hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure with biodegradable cleaning solutions for delicate surfaces like vinyl siding, painted wood, and roofing.
Will pressure washing damage my surfaces?
Not when done correctly. We adjust PSI, nozzle angle, and distance for each surface type. Soft washing is used for any surface that could be damaged by high pressure.
How often should I have my driveway cleaned?
Annually for most properties. Homes under heavy tree cover or in shaded areas benefit from twice-yearly cleaning to prevent algae and mold growth.
Is pressure washing safe for the environment?
We use biodegradable, EPA-compliant cleaning solutions. We also follow local regulations regarding water runoff and storm drain protection.
