Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing: Which One Is Right For Your Property?

When it comes to cleaning your home or business exterior, choosing the right method is crucial. At AquaPro Pressure Services, we offer both soft washing and pressure washing, including hot water pressure washing, to ensure your property gets the best care possible. But what’s the difference between these methods, and when should you use each one?

What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a gentle, low-pressure cleaning method that uses specially formulated, biodegradable cleaning solutions to break down dirt, mold, mildew, and algae. This method is ideal for:

✔ Siding (vinyl, stucco, wood, and brick)

✔ Roofs (asphalt shingles, metal, and cedar shakes)

✔ Decks and fences

✔ Delicate surfaces that can’t handle high pressure

Soft washing not only removes dirt and stains but also kills bacteria and organic growth at the source, helping to prevent regrowth and keeping your surfaces cleaner for longer.

What is Pressure Washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to remove tough grime, stains, and debris. It’s best for durable surfaces that can withstand intense water pressure, including:

✔ Concrete driveways and walkways

✔ Brick and stone patios

✔ Heavy-duty equipment and machinery

✔ Boat docks and Piers

The Power of Hot Water Pressure Washing

For the toughest stains—like oil, grease, and gum—hot water pressure washing takes cleaning to the next level. The combination of heat and high pressure effectively breaks down stubborn buildup, making it perfect for commercial properties, garages, and heavily soiled areas.

Why We Use Both Methods

At AquaPro Pressure Services, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We assess each job individually and choose the best method for the safest and most effective clean. Whether it’s a gentle soft wash for your siding or a powerful hot water pressure wash for your driveway, we ensure your property looks its best while protecting its longevity.
