Soft Washing Defined

Soft washing is easily defined: A washing method that uses less force and thus is better for more fragile surfaces. The PSI used for soft washing is only about one-third to one-eighth of the level used for pressure washing. To make up for this difference, powerful (but safe) cleaning chemicals are used.

As you might expect, you'd want to work with a soft washing team if your building has any fragile or delicate surfaces, like glass, vinyl, or shingles. Just because there's less force involved doesn't make this a DIY project, though: Chemical cleaners need to be handled by trained professionals to ensure safety for everyone involved.

What's the Difference Between Soft Washing, Pressure Washing, and Power Washing?

If you don't have experience with it, it's easy to mix up soft washing, pressure washing, and power washing. But when you work with a professional, they'll evaluate what you need done and pick the right technique for the job.

Soft washing uses low water pressure at around 150-500 PSI and utilizes chemical cleaners to boost effectiveness. The water is commonly unheated. This makes it better for washing delicate surfaces like roof shingles.

Pressure washing puts more force behind the water, roughly 1,500-4,000 PSI. However, the water is also unheated. Tougher surfaces like concrete can stand up to pressure washing.

Power washing offers the most effective clean, but is too strong for delicate surfaces. It also uses 1,500-4,000 PSI of pressure and heats the water on top of that. It works best for persistent substances like oils.

It's common for multiple cleaning techniques to be used on the same job, depending on what surface needs attention. When you work with a professional cleaning service like CleanPro, you get the right method for the right surface.

The Importance of Soft Washing for Kirkwood, MO, Buildings

Your building appearance isn't the only reason to prioritize soft washing in Kirkwood, MO. It also has a significant effect on human health, building health, and environmental health.

Soft Washing for Your Wellbeing

The soft washing process helps your people as well as your property. First and foremost, dirt and other grime can create slip hazards, which become liability risks.

In addition, you're improving the air quality and protecting the health of people in the area. Mold, algae, and mildew are harmful to have in the air. Professional cleaning protects your property against their growth. Whether it's your family's home or a storefront, regular cleaning supports everyone's well-being.

Soft Washing for Your Building's Wellbeing

As you probably expected, the structure you're washing will directly benefit from the soft wash. The first (and most obvious) way is through its appearance: Professional cleaning boosts your property's curb appeal, which can help appeal to potential buyers, invite customers, or just provide a more comfortable living environment.

On top of mental reasons, there are structural reasons to regularly wash your building. Friction caused by contaminants can slowly wear at your building, even creating cracks. Mold growth similarly erodes structures. Washing early can prevent the need for costly repairs later.

Soft Washing for Your Environment's Wellbeing

Finally, soft washing is also good for the environment. CleanPro's proprietary soap is completely biodegradable and safe to use around people, pets, and plants. The process also removes pollutants in a safe, effective manner.

Surfaces That Require Soft Washing

Because pressure washing and power washing both use high levels of force to clean a surface, they are incredibly effective. But they can potentially tear apart a more delicate surface. For these surfaces, soft washing is a necessity.

Most structures will include at least a few parts that aren't safe to pressure/power wash. We'll frequently see the following in Kirkwood, MO:

• Wood
• Vinyl
• Screens
• Stucco
• Composite Siding

In addition to these materials, there are also some special cases where you would want to soft wash materials that you would normally pressure or power wash. For instance, any painted or stained materials: As an example, concrete can stand up to power washing, but the process would damage or remove any paint on top of it.

Outdoor furniture is another good example. In some instances, the metal structure can safely be pressure washed without being harmed. But if there are any cushions or fabric sections, you'll need soft washing to avoid damage.
