What is Soft Washing?

So, what is soft washing? Soft washing is a low-pressure cleaning method that uses an inline booster pump and hose to apply an eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solution to the surface being cleaned. The solution is then allowed to dwell on the surface for a short period before being rinsed off with low-pressure water. The solution contains a surfactant soap with a built-in degreaser especially designed to get in and under stains, dirt, mould, grime and cobwebs and helps to release these elements from the substrate surface, without any damaging water pressure or force.

This cleaning method is perfect for cleaning various surfaces, including house exteriors, driveways, patios, decks, fences and other delicate surfaces that a pressure hose may otherwise damage. Soft washing is gentle enough to clean delicate surfaces and is highly effective at removing dirt, grime, moss, mould, lichen, hard-to-reach cobwebs, bacteria and other build-ups.

The Soft Washing Technique

Soft washing is a safe and effective method for cleaning a variety of surfaces, from cladding and weatherboard to render and stone. The technique uses low-pressure water and biodegradable cleaners to remove dirt, dust, pollen and other build-ups without damaging the surface. In addition, soft washing is often used in conjunction with pressure washing to remove stubborn stains and grime.

To begin a soft washing treatment, a trained technician will choose the correct proportions of surfactant soap and water solution for the job at hand. The solution is then applied to the surface using a low-pressure wand. Once the solution has had a chance to work its way into the organic material on the substrate surface, it is then rinsed away with clean water. The entire process usually takes less than an hour, and the results are immediately visible.

FAQ

What is it meant by soft washing?

Soft washing is a process of cleaning surfaces using low-pressure and surfactant soap. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water to remove dirt and debris, soft washing is gentle enough not to damage most surfaces. It is often used to clean driveways, patios, decks and siding. Soft washing can also be used on roofs, soffits, eaves, gutters, windows and security screens.

The low pressure of the water helps to loosen dirt and debris, while the surfactant soap, with a built-in degreaser, helps to break down grime and stains. As a result, soft washing is an effective way to clean a variety of residential and commercial surfaces without damaging them.
What's the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?

When it comes to cleaning the exterior of your Gold Coast, Brisbane, Melbourne or Launceston home or commercial business, there are two main methods: soft washing and pressure washing. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove dirt, grime and other build-ups from surfaces. This method is often used on harder surfaces such as hard stand concrete areas, like driveways and footpaths. On the other hand, soft washing uses a lower-pressure stream of water combined with a surfactant soap and other cleaners. This method is gentler and is typically used on delicate surfaces such as roofs and rendered walls.

While both methods can be effective, it’s important to choose the right one for the job at hand. Otherwise, you could end up damaging your property's exterior.
What is used in soft washing?

Soft washing equipment will include an inline booster pump, proportioner, water hose, detergent injector (chemical resistant) and a chemical-resistant spray nozzle. The proportioner and detergent injector mix the correct proportion of cleaning chemicals with the water before spraying it out of the nozzle. The chemical-resistant spray nozzle is used to apply the cleaning chemical to the surface being cleaned.

The chemicals used in soft washing will typically include bleach or sodium hypochlorite and a foaming or surfactant agent.
Are soft washes worth it?

When cleaning your home’s exterior, there are a few different options. For example, pressure washing is one of the most popular choices, as it is generally effective and affordable. However, soft washing is an alternative option.

Soft washes use a solution to replace the mechanical effort used in pressure washing and take half the time of pressure washing. It is the better option as it is more gentle and effective for the building materials of your home’s exterior surface.

So, are soft washes really worth the extra cost?

Soft washing can help to extend the life of your home’s exterior by preventing damage and removing tough stains. While it may cost a bit more upfront, soft washing is an investment that can save you money in the long run.

In terms of how long the results last, soft washing generally outperforms pressure washing. Because it takes less time and does not rely on high-pressure water to blast away dirt, soft washing is less likely to leave behind unseen residue that can quickly lead to re-soiling. In addition, the soap used in soft washing can help to break down organic matter that attracts dirt, leading to a longer-lasting clean. For these reasons, soft washing is often the preferred choice for those who want their surfaces to stay clean for longer.
