Keeping the exterior of your home clean is essential as it improves your home’s aesthetic appeal and does away with algae and fungus. With power washing, pressurized water removes dirt and grime from your home’s exterior and the rooftop. While power washing is quite effective, there’s a risk of property damage that comes with it. In contrast, soft washing uses environmentally friendly chemicals to clean but without pressurization. Let’s go through some reasons why exterior cleaning professionals have switched to soft washing the roof and exterior of a home instead of power washing it.
Safety
Where soft washing is concerned, there’s very little risk of your home’s exterior and rooftop getting damaged as it doesn’t use highly pressurized water for forceful cleaning. In contrast, power washing is a hard technique, and where soft and delicate surfaces are concerned, it isn’t one of the best techniques to opt for. For instance, with wood surfaces, power washing can end up tearing the wood and might even remove layers of paint from the wood siding in the washing process.
On the other hand, soft washing uses an environmentally friendly cleaning solution to do the job rather than a mechanical cleaning process. Soft washing is like doing dishes or the laundry where a cleaning agent is used to make your home feel so much cleaner and fresher than before.
More Efficient than Power Washing
Soft washing your home’s exterior and the rooftop takes 25% less time than power washing. With power washing, each square inch of your home must be sprayed with pressurized water at a close range, whereas with soft washing, only a coat of soap needs to be applied by a professional residential masonry contractor from the ground level. At CT Chimney Repair, we can provide our residential customers with the cleaning services they require in the least possible time.
Cleaner for Longer
As opposed to power washing, soft washing keeps your home’s exterior and rooftop cleaner for longer. While soft washing, you make sure of chemicals that kill the bacteria, germs, and algae present and growing inside in the sidings, nooks, and crannies. Whereas with power washing only the top layer of the dirt and grime that is visible to the naked eye is removed. If you only have your home power washed now and then without an occasional soft wash to disinfect the surface then the algae, germs, bacteria, and moss will grow back much quicker.
