Soft washing is a cleaning process that safely removes organic stains, mildew, and algae from outdoor surfaces by using  low-pressure. The washing technique is the most effective and safe for delicate surfaces.  A  mixture of biocides or sodium hypochlorite, surfactants, and water very  important, this is why hiring a knowledgeable and experienced professional is so important.

Although the equipment, pressure, procedures and chemicals used in soft washing, power washing, and pressure washing appear to be identical, they are not. Power washing and pressure washing require much higher water pressure than soft washing, Power Washing equipment also has the ability to utilize hot water. Now  power washing is usually done with high pressure in which the pressure can often be controlled by the use of different tip sizes and distance that can mimic soft washing, this technique should only be done by an experience and knowledgeable  technician.  To kill mold, mildew, bacteria, algae, fungus, moss, and other bacteria, the Soft Washing method is paired with a biodegradable sanitizing cleaning solution. This is most effective on Roofs, siding and non porous surfaces, it is also effective in pre-treatment and post treatment for many other surfaces.

Siding, Roofs, patios, driveways, fencing,  decks and other surfaces that are notoriously difficult to clean with pressure or might be damaged if used with high pressure should be soft washed. Soft washing was developed with the purpose of removing algae.

When it comes to  Asphalt roofs and algae is prevalent, it typically produces a noticeable black stain on your tiles and roof. Moss & algae all thrive in wet and damp conditions, both severely reducing the life of your roof tiles due to the fact it is a food source for them. spreading out and impacting negatively on your roof.  This is said to have a significant impact on roofs, shortening their lifespan by  years. The best way to effectively remove  algae & moss without damaging the roof or voiding any warranties is to use soft washing. Do Not Use High Pressure On Asphalt Shingles It Will Remove The Protective Granules Causes Premature Roof Failure and Will Void Warranties.

Even at modest pressure, pressure washing a roof can potentially void your warranty and cause granule loss. This means that the roof tiles’ integrity will be compromised as a result of the water’s intense pressure. Furthermore, power-washing simply washes the roof’s surface, leaving the root systems that have formed in, around, and in the tiles unaffected.

The Soft Washing method safely kills any moss, fungal, and bacterial life, as well as removes any dirt and grime, from the roof, restoring it to its natural colour without causing any damage to the roofing materials.

To begin, prepare your surrounding area by protecting any plants or grass from the area you’ll be cleaning. The softwash is then prepared. Once the solution is ready, pour it into a softwash sprayer and use it to cleanse the surface. Soft washing flows water through a pump and hose at low pressure. The cleaning solution mixture can simply be directed through the hose by the pump. The hose is then directed at the cleaning surface, and the water mixture is sprayed out.
