Soft Washing vs Pressure Washing: What’s Best for Bluffton Homes?
When it comes to keeping your Bluffton home looking its best, not all exterior cleaning methods are created equal. Homeowners often ask us, “Should I use soft washing or pressure washing for my house?” The answer depends on your property’s surfaces, level of buildup, and long-term goals.
At Bluffton Soft Wash Company, we specialize in both techniques, using the right process for every material to achieve flawless, damage-free results.
What is Soft Washing?
Soft washing uses a low-pressure water system combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to gently break down dirt, mold, mildew, and algae.
This method is ideal for:
✅ Vinyl siding and Hardie board
✅ Stucco and delicate painted surfaces
✅ Roof shingles (soft washing is the ONLY safe way to clean roofs)
✅ Trim, gutters, soffits, and fencing
The cleaning solution penetrates organic growth at its root, killing spores and preventing regrowth. Unlike high-pressure washing, soft washing won’t crack siding, blast away paint, or force water under your exterior surfaces.
What is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water streams to clean hard, durable surfaces. This method is ideal for:
✅ Concrete driveways and parking pads
✅ Stone walkways and brick pavers
✅ Retaining walls and brick fencing
✅ Pool decks and other robust hardscapes
Our commercial-grade equipment ensures powerful cleaning without damaging your surfaces.
