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.

How long do you let soft wash sit?

High-pressure water can cause glass surfaces to break. Soft washing uses heavy-duty cleaning solutions to loosen up all the dust, dirt, and grime on the glass. Apply the detergent and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

How long does it take for soft wash to work?

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.

How many gallons does it take to soft wash a house?

Soft washing only uses 60 gallons of cleaning solution, which is comprised of about 40 gallons of water. The cleaning solution is so effective that it lasts 4 – 6 times longer than pressure washing.

How much pressure do you need to soft wash?

Soft washing uses a pump sprayer to effectively clean exterior surfaces using a combination of water spray and chemicals. The typical pressure of the sprayer is between 150–300 PSI.

How much surfactant per gallon for soft wash?

For a normal Vinyl house or combination of, you can pre-mix about 10 oz of your choice of surfactant for every 5 gallons and downstream that mixture. It does not need to be a “HOT” mixture if you do not need it.
