One of the most common exterior cleaning methods is pressure washing, which involves spraying highly pressurized water onto a surface to dislodge dirt and stubborn grime. However, some people use pressure washing indiscriminately for every surface, even though many outdoor surfaces are far too delicate to withstand the high pressure. While pressure washing has its place in exterior cleaning, it’s important to know when to use it and how.
How We Do Pressure Washing
At Ocean Waves SoftWash, we offer pressure washing for exterior surfaces that can handle the intense force. These include hard and durable surfaces like concrete walkways or driveways. Because the material is so durable, we can apply pressure to it without causing any damage. Additionally, our technicians receive proper training in handling pressure washing equipment and evaluating the situation to determine if pressure washing is the most effective approach.
When Pressure Washing Isn’t the Best Option
For delicate surfaces like roofing or siding, pressure washing is a risky choice, as it can damage those materials and lead to further problems such as moisture intrusion. Instead, it’s best to soft wash those types of surfaces.
Soft washing is a gentle alternative to pressure washing that uses water-based, biodegradable cleaning solutions to remove dirt and grime and kill contaminants like mold, mildew, and algae. Also, it is safe for all surfaces and has longer-lasting results compared to pressure washing.
