Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing With Riptide Pressure Washing

Wilmington, NC - The exterior surfaces of any property will become dirty over time. When this occurs, the owner of the property may become interested in cleaning them. However, the best way to accomplish this work may not be immediately clear. Should exterior surfaces be pressure washed, or soft washed? And what precisely is the difference between these two options? Riptide Pressure Washing [https://www.riptide-wash.com/] proudly provides pressure washing [https://www.riptide-wash.com/pressure-washing-company-in-wilmington-nc/] and soft washing services to the Wilmington, NC community and outlines the distinctions below.

Pressure Washing: A Powerful Cleaning Technique

Pressure washing refers to a process in which pressurized water is applied to dirty exterior surfaces. This pressurized water strips away exterior debris and reveals the true clean appearance of the surfaces in question. "Pressure washing" is a singular term that covers a wide range of techniques. For example, concrete is pressure washed with a force of 3000 PSI. In contrast, asphalt is washed with 2000 PSI.

It is always important to choose the correct amount of PSI based on the material that is being washed. Some materials, however, are so sensitive that they require a very low amount of PSI. This is where pressure washing stops being pressure washing and technically becomes "soft washing".

Soft Washing: The Best Choice For Delicate Surfaces

Soft washing generally uses anywhere between 100 and 500 PSI to clean more sensitive surfaces. Generally, surfaces made of materials such as plastic and vinyl need to be soft washed. Additionally, the outside walls of most homes and commercial properties need to be soft washed, too. Finally, roofs are delicate structures that are best cleaned using the soft washing technique.

There is a valid concern about soft washing: is it powerful enough to remove all debris? In most cases, yes. However, stubborn debris can put up a good fight. Riptide Pressure Washing uses treatment chemicals, such as sodium hypochlorite, to weaken this debris whenever necessary.

Professional Pressure Washing and Soft Washing

Pressure washing and soft washing both require sophisticated equipment, including pumps, hoses, and safety gear. Additionally, it requires knowledge of how this equipment works. These barriers to entry can dissuade property owners from tackling DIY pressure washing/soft washing projects. For this reason, companies such as Riptide Pressure Washing offer professional pressure washing and soft washing services. These services allow residential and commercial property owners to focus on their other responsibilities while a team of experts cleans their exterior surfaces on their behalf.
