What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing utilises a low-pressure power washer and specialised chemicals to clean your home. Instead of blasting away dirt with high pressure, a specially formulated solution is applied to your exterior. This solution gradually breaks down dirt, mould, and grime, allowing for a thorough rinse that leaves your home looking fresh and enhances its curb appeal.
Why Pressure Washing Might Not Be Right for Your Home
When it comes to exterior cleaning projects, power washing may not always be the best choice. It can easily damage softer surfaces and even ruin your paint if not done with care. A gentler and more effective alternative is soft washing. This method effectively removes dirt, mould, and grime from your home’s exterior while preserving the integrity of your paint, brickwork, and glass.
Benefits of Soft Washing
Soft washing offers numerous advantages over other cleaning methods. It’s safe for fragile surfaces like render and painted concrete, and it provides unique benefits that pressure washing cannot.
1. Kills Mould and Algae
The cleaning solutions used in soft washing are specifically designed to eliminate mould, mildew, bacteria, and other harmful microorganisms. Unlike pressure cleaning, which can only remove visible grime, soft washing chemicals disinfect surfaces and prevent future mould growth.
2. Access to Hard-to-Reach Areas
Soft washing techniques allow professionals to reach challenging areas safely. The gentle approach means they can effectively clean high walls and roofs without the hazards associated with high-pressure washing.
3. Prevents Damage
Using a high-pressure washer can lead to flaking paint or patchy surfaces, particularly if attempted as a DIY project. Water can even infiltrate walls, causing damage and mould growth. Soft washing mitigates these risks, offering a safer and more effective cleaning solution.
4. Extends the Life of Your Paint
Mould, algae, and mildew can deteriorate paint over time. Soft washing effectively eliminates these issues, ensuring your paint remains intact and protected from future damage.
5. Promotes a Healthy Home
Dirt, grime, pollen, and mould can pose health risks to you and your family. Soft washing removes these hazards, making it the best choice for homeowners in Melbourne who want to maintain a healthy living environment.
