Professional Pressure Washing And Soft Washing Services
Whether you are a residential home owner, a property manager, a commercial property manager, or oversee a home owners association, they all have one thing in common: Over the years your home, business, or property will need to be power washed, soft washed or a combination of both!
At Innovative Pressure Washing we are a local full service exterior cleaning company specializing in both soft washing as well as pressure washing. We pride ourselves on being a 5 star rated pressure cleaning company that has been serving the Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Hillsborough counties for almost two decades!
The Difference Between Pressure Washing And Soft Washing
A pressure wash uses high pressure and typically there is no soap or chemical involved. The pressure of the water is what strips the surface of the dirt and grime. The water is coming out of the pressure washing machine upwards of 3500 psi. This can fluctuate depending on the type of pressure washing equipment you are using, the gallons per minute the pump is rated for, as well as the diameter of the pressure cleaning hose and nozzles.
The soft wash method is the only safe and effective way to clean a roof, along with other delicate surfaces such as stone, wood, fence or decking, vinyl, or stucco siding.
Soft washing uses low pressure plus a light chemical such as soap, chlorine, or an environmentally friendly cleaner. Both high pressure washing as well as low pressure washing or soft washing has its usefulness and knowing which one to use on the surface of your home can mean the difference between a shiny, clean property or a badly damaged one, costing you much more money than just the cleaning itself.
Soft Wash Or Pressure Wash: Which Cleaning Service Do I Need?
After decades of dedicated service in the exterior cleaning industry, It’s safe to say we are a local authority in exterior cleaning services and commitment to our customers across the Tampa Bay area.
But, which exterior cleaning service is right for you? Should you use a soft wash or pressure washing method?
As exterior pressure cleaning experts in your area, let us help define the difference between a soft wash and a pressure wash.
The Pros And Cons Of High Pressure Vs Soft Washing
As we’ve mentioned before, pressure washing is good for hard surfaces while soft washing is good for delicate surfaces on the exterior of your home, business, or commercial property.
Soft washing is also much better and safer for your shingle roof, siding, soffits, wood deck or fencing. We never recommend applying high pressure to any delicate surface like shingle roofs, tile roofs, or metal roofs.
You also need to keep in mind that the psi of the water coming out of a professional pressure washing system is up to 3500 psi depending the type of pressure cleaning equipment used.
The Dangers Of High Pressure Power Washing
If you use too much pressure you can damage your home, roof, or even hurt yourself. There is also the risk of damaging insulation and soffits, or leaving uneven streaks in the exterior paint of your home, the drive way, or shingle, metal, or tile roof that was improperly cleaned with pressure.
The most common exterior cleaning method that we recommend and use is what is called soft washing.
