What is Soft Washing?
While many are familiar with terms like “Pressure Wash” or “Power Wash”, soft washing stands distinct. It’s a cleaning method using a mixture of water, sodium hypochlorite (bleach’s active ingredient), and a surfactant (essentially soap), applied at low pressure. This ensures surfaces like wood, vinyl siding, and asphalt roofs, which can be damaged by high-pressure water, are cleaned thoroughly and safely. Soft washing not only cleans but also sanitizes, offering a lasting cleanliness by eliminating organic matter and its food sources. Recognized by the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association, it’s the recommended choice for home sidings and roofs, safeguarding against damage and warranty voids.
