Here at The Pressure Washing Dude, our team knows that power washing can be a highly effective and efficient way to get rid of stubborn stains, but that doesn’t mean it’s ideal for every situation. In fact, power washing can cause more harm than good in many cases, leading to significant property damages and costly repair bills. This is why we offer power washing and soft washing services, carefully assessing each material to effectively remove grime without causing harm.
Here are four times when we strongly recommend choosing soft washing instead of power washing:
- Roof Cleaning – Power washing can dislodge shingles, break tiles, and cause all kinds of damage to the roofing membrane. Our team only uses soft washing solutions on roofs to avoid posing any risks to our clients’ properties.
- Washing Painted Surfaces – If you have a beautifully painted deck or fence, power washing it can strip the paint away and even damage the underlying wood materials. We save power washing for only the most durable materials, such as concrete driveways, and use soft washing techniques for any painted areas.
- Wood Fence Cleaning – Wooden fences can be seriously damaged by power washing methods. To keep your charming wooden fences looking pristine, soft washing is your best bet.
- Window Washing – Never attempt to use a power washer to clean your windows, no matter how dirty or stained they may appear. Power washing your windows can easily cause the glass to shatter, causing a brand-new issue for you to deal with.
