Soft Washing versus Pressure washing: The Pros and Cons

Before getting into the details regarding the advantages and the disadvantages within the two types, it is worth it to take a few moments to understand how they work as well as the differences between the two. To begin with pressure washing, sometimes even called power washing is typically the spraying of water with extreme high pressure. To expand upon it, each minute of pressure washing sprays multiple liters or gallons of water. The pressure may even be high enough that it may cause injury if directed against an individual. Soft washing on the other hand of course uses low pressure, and instead uses soaps and other solutions and even surfactants in order to accomplish the cleaning process. Typically different equipment is used for each cleaning process but sometimes the pressure washer can, with a few changes, be used as a soft washer.

Now moving onto the pros and cons, as popular as pressure washing has been, Soft Washing Services are taking over nowadays due to the added benefits of soft washing. Beginning from the risk of damaging the surface that is being cleaned- out of the two Soft Washing as definitely safer, the reason being that soft washing uses chemicals, soaps or surfactants to clean the dirt, algae or moss and due to these chemicals and soaps the imperfections be it bacteria or moss or algae or even just dirt gets removed thoroughly. This means that it takes a long time upto to 3 years for the build up to return. This also makes it more cost effective as the clean up need not be done as often. 

Power washing on the other hand uses high pressure to clean the surfaces and to add to that the dirt usually returns within a year therefore needing to be washed more often. Such exposure to pressure often results in causing damage to the surface itself.

The above mentioned are just a few reasons for the growing popularity of Soft Washing Services.
