Virtually everyone has either used a pressure washer or is familiar with them. How about soft wash cleaning systems? Not so much. The truth is, soft wash cleaning systems are one of the latest and most effective ways to clean your home’s roof, siding, fences and more. For years, professionals have used soft wash cleaning systems to get excellent results for their customers. Now a wider range of soft wash cleaning systems are available to consumers.
Soft wash cleaning systems operate differently than their pressure washer cousins. Conventional pressure washers often rely on high-pressure force to blast dirt and debris away from driveways, lawn and garden equipment, decks, patios and more.
Soft wash systems, on the other hand, use low pressure and a water/bleach solution to provide effective, low-impact cleaning that is safe enough to use on roofs, siding, fences and more. The low-pressure spray will not risk damage to surfaces like high-pressure washing. Keep in mind, soft wash cleaning is not recommended for general cleaning chores on objects such as automobiles, lawn and garden equipment and patio furniture.
Soft washing is an effective solution for killing mold, mildew, moss and algae instead of simply washing it away. That results in less frequent cleaning. A key ingredient in soft wash cleaning is the addition of a surfactant, an additive that dramatically improves cleaning performance by increasing dwell time, the amount of time the cleaning solution stays on the surface.
Soft wash systems can also offer greater safety. With the addition of a long-throw nozzle, it allows you to clean large areas, roofs, high peaks and eaves without using a ladder. Another key soft wash benefit is that it requires less effort than high-pressure washing, minimizing fatigue. Plus, a soft wash cleaning system is easy to handle and moves from place to place.
A number of accessories are available as well to make jobs easier and more efficient, including a soft wash trigger gun, nozzles, surfactants, telescoping extension wands, tripods, hoses and reels.
NOTE: Soft wash systems are only recommended for use on home exteriors (roofs, siding, fences, etc.) and are not recommended for general cleaning chores on objects such as automobiles, lawn and garden equipment and patio furniture.
