Soft Wash can Protect Your Home

How Soft Wash can Protect Your Home

Soft wash is just what it sounds like: instead of using harsh chemicals or high pressure to clean the exterior of your home, you use a low-pressure spray. This won’t harm your home’s delicate surfaces, like stucco, brick, and wood. It will remove any dirt, mildew, or algae from your home. It can also help to protect against future damage.

Soft washing isn’t necessarily for everyone (it’s not the best idea if you’re dealing with peeling paint), but it’s great for homeowners who are looking for an eco-friendly way to keep their homes clean without exposing them to the potential damage that might be caused by harsher methods.

Once your home is free of dirt, algae, mildew, and other contaminants it will be ready to repel water. Soft washing restores the original color of the paint or stucco so you can enjoy a brighter surface that isn’t showing signs of premature wear. By soft washing your home you’re removing years off its life span by preventing damage caused by erosion and weathering.

Before getting started with soft washing always check for any exposed electrical wires around your exterior walls. If there are exposed wires cover them with non-conductive tape before beginning. You don’t want to risk shocking yourself just because you were trying to save some money!

Always read all warning labels on the equipment used before getting started and follow all manufacturer directions carefully.

Soft washing requires less pressure than most other cleaning methods, but it might take a little more time. There are three different approaches that can be taken for soft washing: applying detergent with a low-pressure garden hose, using a specialty machine that mixes the soap with water and sprays it on your house, or working from a scaffold with either soapy water or just plain water.

Detergents and brushes will help to clean any algae or mildew off of your home’s exterior before you rinse them away. Using ladders and scaffolds is probably the best way to reach difficult areas such as roofs and second stories.

Soft washing can protect your home because it’s gentle enough to not damage your home’s delicate surfaces, but it can still get your home clean of dirt and mildew. This method of cleaning is eco-friendly, so you don’t have to worry about exposing your home to harsh chemicals or high pressure that might do more harm than good.

In addition to protecting your exterior from future damage caused by dirt, mildew, algae, or anything else that might be on the surface of your house, soft washing can also help you avoid having to replace a section of siding if it becomes too damaged.

If you’re looking for an eco-friendly way to keep your home in great condition consider soft washing instead of using chemicals or high pressure washing. Soft washing is a gentler, more thorough way to care for your home’s exterior and it reduces the risk of damage from weathering and erosion.
