What is soft washing? It’s a gentle, low-pressure cleaning method that safely removes dirt, algae, and mildew from delicate surfaces. At Spotless Cleaning Services and More, we combine pressure washing and soft washing to clean homes and businesses throughout Bradenton, Sarasota, Palmetto, Parrish, Ellenton, Lakewood Ranch, Siesta Key, and Venice, Florida.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is an effective alternative to traditional high-pressure cleaning. Rather than blasting water at high PSI, this technique uses low pressure and eco-friendly detergents to dissolve and kill organic growth like mold and algae at the root. It’s ideal for roofs, siding, stucco, and painted exteriors that could be damaged by intense water pressure.
How Soft Washing Works
Soft washing uses specialized pumps that apply cleaning solutions at less than 500 PSI. The detergent breaks down dirt, algae, and mildew, which are then rinsed away with clean water. This process not only removes grime—it also sanitizes the surface for longer-lasting results.
- Apply Cleaning Solution: Our biodegradable detergent blend kills algae and bacteria at their source.
- Dwell Time: The solution sits for several minutes to loosen contaminants safely.
- Low-Pressure Rinse: We gently rinse with clean water to remove residue without harming surfaces.
What Can Be Cleaned with Soft Washing?
- Roofs: Removes black streaks, algae, and lichen without lifting shingles.
- House Exteriors: Perfect for siding, stucco, and painted finishes.
- Decks & Fences: Safe for wood and composite materials prone to splintering under high PSI.
- Pool Enclosures: Cleans mildew without tearing mesh or paint.
- Outdoor Furniture: Gentle enough for fabrics and coated materials.
Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing
- Soft Washing: Uses low pressure and detergents to clean organic buildup—ideal for roofs, siding, and delicate surfaces.
- Pressure Washing: Uses higher pressure water (up to 4,000 PSI) to remove dirt, oil, and surface buildup—best for driveways and hard surfaces.
