Your property is susceptible to a number of damages and unappealing factors. Some of which happens to be filth, dirt, grime, and other similar materials. They can occur on your roof, windows, sidewalk, driveway, outside walls – just about anywhere! And whenever you notice these areas of your home degrading in cleanliness, you would most likely benefit from hiring a cleaning service, such as Mean Green Power Clean in South Florida. Companies like Mean Green Power Clean are industry professionals who are able to utilize both soft washing and pressure washing services in order to get the job done. Through their quality assistance, they’re able to get your property to look the absolute best it can be once they’re done with it.

You might’ve wondered when hiring such a service, what the actual difference is between soft washing and pressure washing. They both help to clean your property but rely on different methods to get the job done. And they’re also used for different areas considering each method serves its own purpose.

If you wish to learn more about the two then continue reading below.

The Difference Between Soft Washing and Pressure Washing

There are quite a few differences between soft washing and pressure washing. However, there is one ultimate difference between them both: one method relies on less PSI than the other. And if you can guess by the names, you can probably tell that soft washing is the one that utilizes reduced PSI. But there is much that separates the two.

Pressure Washing

This is a method that you’re probably familiar with. In fact, you may have seen it in action more than once. Pressure washing relies on a highly pressurized hose to spew out water with PSI ranging somewhere in the thousands (usually no more than 2,000). The water forced out of the hose is so powerful that it should never be held in the hands of an amateur. The reason being that if mishandled, the pressurized water can potentially cause a terrible injury as the pressurized water can cut deeply through bones.

Although pressure washing seems too powerful for any surface, there are many areas of your property where you can utilize this method. There are your sidewalks, for instance, which usually receive a significant amount of traffic every day. Layers upon layers of dirt and grime are often added to your sidewalks daily, making them look unappealing. And they can look even more unsightly when accidental stains occur on them as well. But with a simple application of pressure washing, your sidewalks can look brand new. And because sidewalks are made of concrete, you’ll never have to worry about pressure washing damaging them. The force of the water will effectively remove all dirt and grime, yet it will still keep your sidewalk intact.

Soft Washing

Ironically – even though the name implies otherwise – soft washing is actually a powerful method of cleaning. While soft washing does utilize reduced PSI compared to pressure washing, it’s only done so usually below 1000 PSI – sometimes, even far less. The reason why it’s used with less PSI is so that it can be utilized for more sensitive areas of your property that can’t have pressure washing done on them. Such areas often include your roof and windows, because using standard pressure washing could damage them severely.

When such areas are layered with unwanted deposits, you can trust that soft washing will get them clean, especially when it’s done by Mean Green Power Clean. Even though the method depends on reduced PSI to get the job done, you can still expect total cleanliness. Also, apart, from relying on less PSI, soft washing will also use eco-friendly detergents and/or other similar chemicals to help get the job done.

When to Use Soft Washing or Pressure Washing

There are obvious parts of your home that can benefit from either or. As mentioned above, windows and roofs would most definitely need soft washing. But other parts, such as your sidewalk and driveway, would benefit from pressure washing instead. But then there are other areas where you can be left clueless and left to wonder which method is needed most.

More often than not, the professional cleaning service you hire will be able to tell you which method should be used. But if you’re curious yourself as to what method should be utilized, it all matters on how sensitive that area of your property is. If you find that the area you’re evaluating is structurally sound and made of tough material (e.g. concrete), then pressure washing would probably help the most. If, however, the area is somewhat fragile against powerful forces, then soft washing might be your best option.
