  • High-pressure water for tough surfaces like concrete
  • Soft wash techniques for delicate surfaces like siding
  • Eco-friendly cleaning solutions to kill mold and algae
  • Proper PSI settings to clean without causing damage

Soft Wash vs Pressure Wash: What’s the Difference?

Pressure Washing:

  • High PSI (2,000-3,000+)
  • Best for: Concrete, driveways, hard surfaces
  • Removes dirt through water pressure
  • Risk of damage if used improperly on siding

Soft Washing (House Washing):

  • Low PSI (500-1,000)
  • Best for: Siding, roofs, delicate surfaces
  • Cleaning solution does the work
  • Safe for all exterior materials
  • Longer-lasting results (kills mold at root)

For house exteriors, soft washing is recommended. Professional contractors know which technique to use for each surface.

How Often Should You Pressure Wash Your House?

General recommendation: Every 1-2 years

Annual washing if:

  • You live in high-humidity climate
  • Your home has significant tree coverage
  • You notice mold or algae growth
  • You’re preparing to paint or sell

Every 18-24 months if:

  • You live in dry climate
  • Your home gets good sun exposure
  • You see minimal organic growth

Before selling: Always pressure wash before listing – it’s the cheapest way to increase curb appeal and sale price.
