What is the appropriate amount of pressure to apply to an outdoor surface?

It depends on the surface, but as little pressure as possible is ideal, especially since soft wash cleaning solutions do the work of removing grime, dirt, and organic growth without requiring high pressure. To compare, soft washing typically uses pressure of 150 to 300 PSI, whereas pressure washing usually uses over 1,000 PSI and even up to 3,500 PSI.

Can pressure washing void my roof warranty?

Yes, pressure washing can void your roof warranty, which is another reason you should never pressure wash your roof. However, the damage that pressure washing could do to your roofing materials is reason enough even if the warranty were not an issue.

Isn’t pressure washing eco-friendlier than soft washing?

Some customers worry about the cleaning solutions used in soft washing, but as mentioned, these solutions are 100% biodegradable, water based, and nontoxic. In addition, soft washing uses about 1/3 the amount of water pressure washing uses.

Pressure Washing, Magalia, CA | Pristine Safe Roof and Exterior Cleaning

If you think you need pressure washing, think again. There’s a better way to clean your property!

Maintaining a clean, presentable home or business includes taking care of its exterior. And while many property owners in Magalia, California rely heavily on pressure washing to complete this task, it’s not the best approach.

Pressure washing is harsh and abrasive, causing damage to delicate and sturdy materials alike. With certain settings, and especially with improper technique, pressure washing can split wood, strip paint, dent siding, damage roofing, and pit concrete. The good news is that it isn’t the only exterior cleaning method out there, and at Pristine Safe Roof and Exterior Cleaning, we offer an alternative called soft washing.

Soft washing is a gentle alternative to pressure washing. It uses very little water pressure, relying instead on a proprietary blend of cleaning solutions to wash away dirt, grime, insect nests, and more. Notably, soft washing is designed to kill contaminants like mold, mildew, algae, moss, and bacteria that often accumulate on surfaces like roofs, walkways, decks, and siding. By killing these contaminants instead of merely blasting them away like pressure washing would, soft washing removes the cause of unsightly stains on your outdoor surfaces and produces longer-lasting results. In fact, the results last about four to six times longer than they would with pressure washing.

We can freshen your roof and other exterior surfaces.
