Eco-friendly cleaning option
Power washers utilize from 3 to 8 gallons of water per minute (GPM). In one hour of cleaning, a pressure washer can use from 180 gallons upwards to 480 gallons of water. Alternatively, soft washing applies approximately 60 gallons of cleaning solution, which is about 40 gallons of water.
Alternative to power washing
Pressure washing creates erosion and strips away materials that might have been loosened by decay or aging. It may be suitable for some projects and not others. For your roof, which offers the first line of defense for your home, power washing is an absolute no-no.
It actually treats the infestation
Your house isn’t just dirty – it’s contaminated. Regular pressure washing merely gets rid of the outer layer of this growth. It does not solve the root of the issue, leaving your surface susceptible to contamination not long after power washing is completed.
No damage from pressure
Poorly trained or unskilled pressure washers can cause serious damage to a roof or other surface, especially if it’s older, to begin with. Use our soft washing services will eliminate any damage to your roof, or the exterior of your home.
Roof Cleaning and Beyond
Soft washing can be performed on a plethora of surfaces where algae and bacteria grow. The same bacterium that causes black streaks on roofs can also grow on:
- Concrete
- Brick
- Tile
- Wood
- Vinyl Siding
- Aluminum
- And more…
If you’re trying to find a method to get rid of what’s cultivating on the surface of your roof, deck or fence, break the cycle of harmful pressure washing and use an option that gets rid of the problem 100%.
Biodegradable, Eco-Friendly Chemicals in Soft Wash Solution
People can be afraid of the word “chemicals,” but it’s not such a dirty word. Everything is a chemical, even water (dihydrogen monoxide). The chemicals used in soft washing aid in the breakdown of contaminants and infestations, so they can be quickly rinsed away. They do all the work without all the pressure. Our chemicals are water-based, non-hazardous, and biodegradable. That means they break down into carbon and water within twenty (20) days after they’re introduced into the environment, leaving no contaminants behind.
Soft washing is the use of water-based, biodegradable chemicals to break down dirt and grime, remove bug nests and webs, kill mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria – leaving the surface clean and sterilized.
Compared with power washing, soft washing consumes only one-third of the water, lasts 4 – 6 times longer, and does not wear down or harm the surface like pressure washing.
Soft washing also beats power washing because it does more than simply clean your roof. The solvents utilized in our soft wash system don’t just clean — they penetrate, sanitize, and eliminate the root of the issue.
Treating your roof with soft washing is more like insect control – the mix of safe, eco-friendly chemicals ensure that the bacteria that create buildup are not just partly swept away, but totally eliminated.
