The Health and Safety Benefits of Soft Wash for Your Family and Pets
Pressure cleaning uses a high-powered jet of water to blast away dirt and grime.
Beyond the obvious benefits to image and resale value, a regular wash of a home’s exterior also provides numerous health and safety advantages. Many professional power washing companies offer a soft wash to blast away accumulated dirt without damaging surfaces. This takes a fraction of the time of manual cleaning.
A “soft” power wash?
It may sound contradictory, but power washing can also be gentle. Pressure cleaning uses a high-powered jet of water to blast away dirt and grime. This jet can range in pressure from 2000 PSI to 50,000 PSI, strong enough to pierce metal.
The average house is typically cleaned at about 4000 PSI. Higher-powered washes are reserved for solid surfaces like pavements and garages, where tougher oil buildup is harder to shift.
This can easily damage the exterior walls of a house, especially windows and sliding doors. Soft washing is the answer. It combines cleaning agents with a gentle stream of water (500 PSI) to penetrate and remove surface buildup from more delicate surfaces.
Moreover, a professional power washing company should use biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and gentle chemicals on surrounding lawns and flowerbeds.
DIY cleaning is dangerous
Any DIY house cleaning involves multiple risks. Regarding the exterior, falls from great heights are an unfortunate possibility. Stretching to reach an attic window or cleaning the rafters can end in disaster. Professional power washers come with years of experience and the tools to do the job.
Pest control
The eaves of a house are a haven for unwanted insects. Over time, the underside of a roof can become home to spiders, wasps, and bees. If left unaddressed, these can pose a danger to family members, especially those with allergies. Soft washing can remove these pests and deter them from returning.
Goodbye to allergies
The exterior of a house can be exposed to all forms of mold and mildew. Living in a humid area poses a particularly big risk of buildup. The spores that result from this unchecked growth can lead to allergic reactions and exacerbate asthma. Keeping nooks and crannies free from mold can go a long way in preventing this from happening.
Improve home stability
Any buildup of accumulated dust and grime can lead to the gradual deterioration of the house. Wood can rot, walls crack, and gutters rust. Algae eats away at limestone on the roof, causing leaks and structural instability. Not only will this require expensive repairs, but it can also pose a higher danger of roof collapse. However, a soft wash prevents buildup and deterioration on any property.
