    The Difference Between Pressure Washing and Soft Washing

     It is easy to think that high pressure sprays are a magical cleaning solution, capable of stripping stains from even the most complicated areas, but this just isn’t true. In fact, power washing the wrong areas can lead to stripped paint, broken materials and even injury. If you are trying to decide whether power washing or soft washing is more appropriate for your space, there are a few things to consider:

    When to Pressure Wash: Your home’s exterior is made up of many difference materials. The density of your materials has a direct impact on which tools are best suited for the job. Pressure washers are most appropriate for tougher materials, like wood and concrete. Sidewalks and driveways are prone to staining and algae, all of which can be treated with regular use of high pressure sprays.

    When to Choose Softwash Systems: The exterior surfaces of your home or commercial property can be made up of vulnerable materials like windows, vinyl siding or wood siding. Aiming a high pressure spray at these materials can end in expensive damage or breakage and that is why gentler sprays are better suited for regular house washing. Soft washing uses lower PSI to dig deep down into textures, pulling dirt and debris from even the toughest to reach places.

    Common questions

    Softwashing — answered

    Do you offer recurring service?

    Yes, recurring soft-wash plans are popular with Pickering customers. On an annual or biennial schedule, you get locked-in pricing and priority booking, and your exterior stays ahead of algae and mould instead of letting it rebuild between cleanings.

    Can soft washing clean exterior storage units?

    For Pickering customers, storage units and shed exteriors clean with soft washing as standard work. Low-pressure chemistry lifts the algae and green staining common on shaded shed walls, restoring the surface without high pressure that could split older panels.

    Can I make payments in installments?

    It depends on the franchise. Installment plans are not offered everywhere, and where they are, they typically apply to larger jobs or estate properties rather than a standard exterior wash. Raise it when you book so the office can confirm what is possible for your location.

    Will my trees be damaged?

    Trees are well-protected during soft washing. At residential dilutions, standard soft-wash chemistry doesn’t penetrate mature bark or reach the root system, so the trunk and roots are unaffected. Any low foliage near the work gets the same pre-rinse and post-rinse care we give other plants.

    Do you offer roof-only soft washing?

    Roof-only soft washing suits homes where the siding is fine but the roof has gone green or black with growth. We treat just the shingles, killing moss and algae at the root with gentle chemistry, no need to bundle siding you don’t want cleaned.

    How much water does soft washing use?

    Compared to pressure washing, soft washing is the lighter user. Pressure washers run continuous high-volume water to blast surfaces; soft washing relies on chemistry, so it needs far less. For a typical residential exterior the usage is modest enough that it does not register on most bills.

    Soft washing vs chemical cleaning. What's the difference?

    There is no real difference: soft washing is chemical cleaning combined with low pressure. The chemistry does the actual work of killing algae and mould, while gentle pressure rinses it away. The terms low-pressure cleaning and sodium hypochlorite cleaning describe the same method.

    Can soft washing be done on a condo?

    Condo soft washing almost always runs through strata. We handle the coordination, scheduling around residents and shared access, then treat siding and common exterior surfaces with low-pressure chemistry. Individual unit owners can book too, though strata approval is often needed for shared walls.

    What about people with chemical sensitivities?

    The only sensory effect is a mild chlorine odour while the product is on the surfaces, much like walking past a pool. It is temporary and fades within hours. Anyone sensitive to it can simply step out during the application and come back once it dissipates.
