In recent years, soft washing has become the method of choice for cleaning exterior surfaces. However, there are still a few reasons why our team at H2O Squad might choose pressure washing for residential and commercial properties. Keep reading to learn more.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing uses high-power pressure to remove grime, mold, mildew, and even peeling paint. This approach works particularly well on hard surfaces such as driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks. as the sheer force of the water can remove years of accumulated stains. However, it’s that force that makes it the wrong choice for softer surfaces and why we might choose soft washing instead.
Does Pressure Washing Decrease Cleaning Time?
Because pressure washing is quick and efficient, the higher pressure reduces cleaning time and the need for specialized cleaning solutions. It should be noted, however, that the cleaning solutions used in soft washing inhibit rapid organic regrowth and provide results that last four to six times longer. In other words, while the process of pressure washing might be quicker, the results of soft washing last longer.
