All houses and other properties tend to deteriorate with the passage of time. For example, the UV radiation of the sun, and the ambient pollution in the air. All of these are taken together with loads of other contaminants such as lichen, mildew, moss, and black algae combine to age your precious property a lot faster than its original life.
However, you can easily combat these issues by utilizing the services of a professional soft washing outfit. These people are the proven experts in taking care of your precious house and all of its exterior fittings such as your walls, fence, concrete driveway, and roof.
What Is Soft Washing and How Does It Work?
Soft washing is a cleaning method that incorporates the use of a low-pressure washing system, albeit with a few key differences.
It includes an effective mixture of bleach, algaecides, surface cleaners, and water to get the job done without harming the surface. Soft washing gently cleans the exterior surfaces of all kinds of harmful growth without damaging them in any way.
In a nutshell, soft washing, pressure washing, and power washing are all somewhat similar in most respects. However, they differ on the basis of equipment, pressure, different techniques, and the chemicals used. Pressure washing uses high-powered jets of cold water and power washing utilizes hot water to get the job done. They should each be employed in very specific circumstances, and it’s important to know when each should be utilized to get the best quality clean without causing damage.
The soft washing approach effectively combines biodegradable disinfecting cleaning solutions with low-pressure water jets. This combination is used to eliminate mildew, mold, bacteria, algae, moss fungus, and similar organic growth.
The technique is ideal for surfaces that are fragile, difficult to reach, or not meant to be cleaned with high pressure washing methods. In fact, soft washing has been expressly designed to deep clean algae from roof shingles. Using conventional pressure washing techniques for algae removal can lead to granular loss in the shingles and there is a chance that it might grow back as well.
The same hold for other portions of your house since there are many places where soft washing would be more preferable over other cleaning methods.
Always Trust the Real Experts to Get the Job Done Right
If you have a deck, it will also require regular maintenance. However, if you try to do it yourself, it is possible that you might get the settings wrong. Too low a pressure won’t clean the place properly, while overly high settings can literally scourge away the paint and polish. Apart from that, you have to be very sure of the kind of chemicals you use.
Not all external cleaning detergents are created equal. Many of them ‘might’ do an ostensibly good job, but they may be harmful to your landscape and also dull the shine of the paint and polish. Using the wrong detergents can also decrease the lifespan of your home.
