Purveyors of Soft Washing & More
Most don't know it but pressure washing is actually a catch-all name for several distinct cleaning techniques that share a few broad characteristics. Beside basic pressure washing, soft washing and power washing are essential techniques that every professional pressure washer should have in their toolkit. Since there's more than one way to put pressure washing into practice, top cleaning professionals are always adjusting their tools and techniques to the needs of each job.
Four Core Variables
Knowing how to dial your equipment in for different surfaces is the key to quality results. Pressure washing involves four core variables: water pressure, volume, temperature, and cleaning solutions. By balancing these variables we bring our customers incredible cleaning results that look better and last longer than DIY!
- Pressure -- Dialing in water pressure is key because too much can damage some surfaces, but too little pressure won't get the results you need.
- Volume -- Adjusting water volume is crucial when compensating for reduced or increased water pressure, especially during a process like soft washing.
- Temperature -- Water temperature helps lift tough residue, especially oil-based stains on sidewalks or pavement
- Cleaning Solutions -- Selective cleaning solutions give volume, pressure, and temperature a medium to work with for maximum grime-fighting power
Soft Washing Explained
Soft washing is a simple technique that we rely on for roof cleaning, pieces of house washing, and any other surfaces made from lighter, less dense material. Soft washing pairs low water pressure with cleaning solutions to lift dirt without damaging surfaces with water pressure that's too high. Standard pressure washing's high PSI could rip right through most softer surfaces like fences or roofing, but soft washing lets us remove dirt and organic growth without any risks. It's perfect for cleaning delicate, antique, and painted surfaces too.
Power Washing Explained
Similar to pressure washing, power washing makes use of heated water that's better for lifting difficult sidewalk and driveway stains. We often use a special attachment tool, sometimes called a water broom, that helps lift deep set micro-synthetics such as tire particles and oil from your pavement.
