What Is A Soft Wash?

What Is A Soft Pressure Wash?
Pressure washing involves using a powerful stream of water pointed directly at a house. For some houses, pressure washing can cause damage depending on the build and material of the home. Pressure washing takes a good amount of time as well because of how close the person holding the pressure washer must stand to clean the surface with high pressure. Still, pressure washing is an effective method in some situations.
The soft wash uses low pressure, but it uses chemicals to take dirt off of your home. Essentially your house will be sprayed with a solution that will work to clean it, and that solution will be rinsed off. When it is rinsed the dirt and debris that needs to come off, your house will wash off as well. Soft wash is quite useful, and there are many benefits to it.

There are quite a few benefits to soft wash that should be considered.
- Low Pressure: Since soft wash is low pressure, there is less chance for damage. Pressure washing not done by professionals can cause some severe damage to a home.
