What’s The Difference Between Power Washing And Soft Washing?
Power washing and soft washing are both excellent techniques to keep your outdoor surfaces clean. However, power washing utilizes high-powered water spray that can be damaging to more fragile surfaces. That’s why the experts of power washing in Ruckersville offer both pressure washing and soft washing.
Soft washing utilizes eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaners to break down the dirt, grime, and bacteria that find a home on your outdoor surfaces. These cleaners are applied in a fine mist, so you can feel confident they’re getting into all the smallest nooks and crannies. Once these cleaners are done working, they’re washed away with a gentle water-bleach mixture. This mixture is applied at a low water pressure, so your surfaces aren’t endangered.
The main difference between power washing vs. soft washing is the water pressure that is being used. Power washing utilizes high water pressures, between 750 and 30,000 PSI, while soft washing uses water pressures between 40-80 PSI. High-powered water spray is dangerous to more fragile surfaces, such as softwood, siding, and shingles. That’s why we offer soft washing for your house washing and roof washing needs.
How Often Should I Get My House Washed?
Power washing experts agree that houses should be professionally washed at least once a year. However, you don’t need to wait a full 12 months between appointments.
If you notice dirt or build-up on the exterior of your home, it’s time to invest in a professional house washing. If mold, mildew, or other bacteria starts to build up on the exterior of your home, you want to make sure it’s washed away before it has a chance to cause deeper issues. The power washing experts at Precision Property Maintenance are here to help with all your house washing needs.
Is It Safe For My Kids Or Pets To Play Outside After You Finish With Pressure Washing?
Yes! The cleaners used in our power washing services are eco-friendly and biodegradable. This means they won’t be harmful to your family or the environment.
Is That Black Stuff On My Roof Really Not Dirt?
If you’ve noticed black streaks on your roof, you’ve noticed the bacteria gloeocapsa magma. Gloeocapsa magma travels as spores on the wind. Once it lands on your roof, it finds a shaded, cool spot to start growing. As gloeocapsa magma expands, it starts to look like black or dark green streaks on your roof.
The good news is that cleaning away gloeocapsa magma is a fairly simple process. The pressure washing experts at Precision Property Maintenance offer professional roof cleaning to fight against the gloeocapsa magma on your roof.
The professional soft washing process will break down the gloeocapsa magma before washing away the remaining spores to leave your roof clean and clear of gloeocapsa magma.
