If your patio, driveway, or siding is looking a little dirty or worn-out, it might be time to call in a professional cleaning service. Our team here at Capitol Cleaning is equipped to provide both soft washing and pressure washing services, so you can rest easy knowing we’ll use the right method for each surface we work on.
Some of our clients frequently ask us what the differences are between these two cleaning techniques and how we choose which option to use. Below, we’ll give you some more details about our work to give you additional peace of mind when we’re cleaning your property.
Soft Washing
Soft washing is often referred to as a gentler alternative to pressure washing. Soft washing relies on biodegradable cleaning solutions to get rid of algae, mold, dirt, and other contaminants at their source without damaging the underlying surface. Once the solution works its magic, it’s gently rinsed away with water to reveal a refreshed, sanitized surface.
Soft Washing Applications
Since soft washing is so gentle, it’s suitable for a wide range of exterior surfaces, including:
- Patios
- Roofs
- Fences
- Solar Panels
- Siding
- Bricks
Pressure Washing
Pressure washing relies on pressurized jets of water to blast away stubborn stains and grime. If your property needs a powerful clean, we may use this technique in select areas.
Pressure Washing Applications
Since the strong water pressure can easily damage more delicate materials, such as vinyl siding, our team reserves this technique for the most durable surfaces, such as:
- Concrete Walkways
- Paver Patios
- Driveways
- Pool Decks
