Soft washing is an alternative to pressure/power washing that does not use damaging high pressure. Soft washing thoroughly cleans up surface areas and kills the bacteria that are the root reason of discoloration on roofing systems and also other structure surfaces.

Soft washing was developed over twenty years ago. It has been thoroughly tested and it has been utilized in huge Florida resorts, such as Disney, Universal Studios, and government setups. In addition, over 100,000 roofing systems have actually been successfully cleaned up utilizing Soft Washing.

Soft washing eradicates the microorganisms that cause staining, whereas pressure washing simply cleans off the surface layer. Additionally, soft washing does not use harmful high pressure, unlike pressure washing, and soft washing treatments last far longer compared to pressure washing treatments.

Normally, a soft washing treatment will last at least four times as long as pressure washing, before staining reoccurs. In many circumstances, our treatments last much longer than one year.

Microorganisms such as mold, mildew, algae, lichen, and bacteria are responsible for most staining on roofing systems and also other surfaces. Additionally, byproducts of the metabolic rate of these organisms are acidic, and also damaging to surface areas such as roof shingles. Eliminating these bacteria prevents staining and raises the longevity of roofs, fencings, and decks.
