What Is SoftWashing?
SoftWashing emerged more than 35 years ago as a developmental divergence from pressure washing in Florida, where organic growths on many surfaces is commonplace. Since that time, softwashing has become a very successful method for treating and preserving all surfaces that can be pressure washed. The main focus is put on the delivery of potent 100% biodegradable chemicals at low, gentle pressures.
Our methods do more than merely sanitize a surface that we are working on. We keep those surfaces treated long after we have left the job site. By focusing more on the careful application of our EPA compliant chemicals, rather than the sheer brute forces of pressure washing with hot water, we are able to truly deep-treat your surfaces.
What Are The Advantages?
No Pressure Damage
Pressure washers can cause serious damage to a roof or other surfaces, particularly if they are older. They can create erosion and strip away materials that might have that might have been loosened up by decomposition or aging. While it's an appropriate method for heavy-equipment, most commercial and residential projects benefit much more from the softwash method.
More Eco-Friendly Sanitizing Option
Pressure washers utilize anywhere from 3 to 8 gallons of water per minute. In one hour of cleaning, a pressure washer can use from 180 gallons upwards to 480 gallons of water. On the other hand, soft washing only uses approximately 60 gallons of treatment solution, which is made up of about 40 gallons of water.
It Treats The Infestation
The surfaces on your home and business properties aren't just dirty, they are also infected. Typical pressure washing only gets rid of the outer layer of this biomass without fixing the root of the problem, leaving your surface susceptible again. Organic growth on your surfaces is like shrubs: if you cut it back, it will come back healthier and stronger. The growth must be attacked at the source.
Lasts Longer
The softwash treatment solution is so effective that it lasts 4 to 6 times longer than pressure washing, which means your surfaces stay sanitized longer. This makes it more sustainable for the environment and your wallet.
