Pressure washing is unarguably the best way to clean exterior surfaces, facades, and outdoor structures. But the dirty little secret that the best pressure washing companies know is that all surfaces are not created equal, and some demand special attention only soft washing can provide. Pressure washing companies that don't offer chemically assisted soft washing for less durable materials like vinyl siding or asphalt shingles are likely inexperienced and also likely to do damage to fragile building materials or are unscrupulous and will cut corners, skip, or do a subpar job on those less durable materials that are often the most important part of:
The secret is out! Chemically assisted soft washing is an absolute requirement to obtain the best results where highly pressurized water can be damaging. Sunshine AquaWash knows all of the soft washing secrets and the risks of high psi pressure washing, so call us today for damage-free cleaning.
WINDOWS Water seems like such a soft, non-threatening element, but when placed under high pressure, water can become a weapon of destruction with the power to cut skin and break or crack windows.
ASPHALT SHINGLES High PSI pressure washing can not only cut and completely remove asphalt shingles from your roof, but it also removes those tiny, little granules on asphalt shingles that are an important factor in your roof's insulation function. Soft washing preserves those insulating granules while cleaning and protecting your asphalt shingles with zero damage.
GUTTERS Pressure washing is great for clearing clogs on the inside of your gutters but should not be used on the outside as it can damage fascia and detach gutters from the structure. Sunshine AquaWash specializes in soft washing for damage-free gutter brightening.
AIR CONDITIONING UNITS Pressure washing may seem like a good idea for removing leaves and dirt from your AC unit, but don't do it! Pressure washing your AC unit can bend and damage the delicate metal fins of the unit and cause airflow problems. Water can also penetrate into the interior of the unit and negatively affect electrical circuits. Stay away from AC units when pressure washing.
VEHICLES Pressure washing your car or truck sounds like a great time-saving idea, but again there is just too much power involved and high PSI can cause small dents and chip the paint which can then lead to rust and oxidation requiring expensive repairs.
LEAD PAINT While the power of pressure washing is perfect for stripping paint in preparation for repainting, lead-based paint is another story. Lead paint is extremely toxic, and pressure washing can send the toxic particles of lead paint into the air, endangering those nearby.
OLD MORTAR Old brick and stone walls or fences with aging mortar holding them together should not be pressure washed. Loose bricks and old mortar should be soft washed to avoid further degrading mortar granules and threatening structural integrity.
STAINED WOOD High PSI pressure washing can cause scarring on some wooden surfaces, but it's especially important to use soft washing on stained wood as the pressure and heat of power washing can melt and pull the stain from the surface.
