What is soft washing?

Soft washing is a technique that treats the infection of the stain and lets the cleaning solutions sanitize, doing 100% of the work, killing all mildew, algae, and lichens at the root, not just the surface. This creates a longer-lasting clean with no damaging pressure or harsh chemicals. Soft washing only uses 1/3 the water than pressure washing and is better for your home, family, and environment.

Why choose soft washing vs. pressure washing?

Pressure washing only relies on water and pressure to do the cleaning. This high pressure (1,500+ PSI) just blasts the surface and bacteria further in, leaving the root of the bacteria behind and possibly creating more damage to the surface. Soft washing uses low pressure (80 PSI) and relies on 100% biodegradable cleaning solutions to kill all bacteria at the root, without damage, resulting in a longer-lasting clean for your property.

Why is it important to kill all bacteria on your roof?

When pressure washing leaves behind the filament root system of the bacteria, the bacteria will grow back faster. This can cause higher utility bills, unsightly curb appeal, increased allergies, shorter lifespan of the surface, insurance companies can even drop coverage on a roof that is “too dirty”. So it is important for your investment that all bacteria are completely removed.

Is soft washing environmentally safe?

Soft washing safely cleans and protects your: ROOF, SIDING, Driveway

When you’re searching for roof cleaning in Baton Rouge you’re going to come across two different types of companies: soft washing companies and power washing or pressure washing companies. Although both may seem similar at first glance, there are big differences that make all the difference when it comes to cleaning a house or building in the Southern Louisiana environment. If you want a fast, safe, and effective cleaning solution – soft washing is the far superior choice.

Why Soft Washing is Superior to Pressure Washing

You probably see a lot of ads for pressure washing in Baton Rouge. Anyone can buy a pressure washer and start offering their services. Knowing how to start a pressure washer doesn’t make you qualified to clean a house or building without causing damage. And in the humid south, where property owners are looking to remove algae and bacteria growth, only soft washing can get the job done.
