Soft Washing FAQ
We use soft washing as our primary technique to do most pressure-washing jobs. These frequently asked questions will answer why and many other questions you might have.
Why Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a highly effective and gentle alternative to traditional pressure washing methods. It involves using specialized equipment and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from various surfaces.
Soft washing ensures thorough cleaning without causing any damage to delicate surfaces such as roofs, siding, decks, or fences. The low pressure reduces the risk of surface erosion or water intrusion, prolonging the lifespan of the treated surfaces.
Soft washing eliminates harmful organisms like algae, moss, and bacteria, which not only compromise the aesthetics but can also pose health risks.
Also, soft washing provides long-lasting results by treating the root cause of the problem. The cleaning solutions penetrate deep into the surface, eradicating contaminants at their source and preventing regrowth for an extended period.

While you will see a difference immediately, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to complete the process depending on the degree of colonization and the local environment. A second application of Benz Bio Cleanze after one month will speed up the process. Moss on roofs often grows in the joints between tiles.
