Soft Wash Vs. High Pressure Wash, What's The Difference?

Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing


While soft washing and pressure washing are often used interchangeably, they differ significantly in their effectiveness, especially when dealing with biological debris like mold, mildew, moss, and algae.


Soft Washing

- Utilizes low-pressure water mixed with sodium hypochlorite and surfactants to remove mold, mildew, moss, and algae. 

- The solution has fungicidal properties that prevent regrowth. 

- Gentle on surfaces, reducing the risk of damage. 

- Ideal for safely cleaning roofs without harm.


Pressure Washing

- Uses high-pressure water and soap to blast away dirt and debris. 

- Can remove mold and mildew, but they quickly return afterward. 

- Harsh on fragile surfaces like windows, lights, and gutters. 

- May damage roofing tiles due to the powerful spray.
