Q. What is soft washing?
A. Soft washing, often referred to as pressure washing or exterior cleaning, involves the thorough cleaning of the exterior surfaces of a house to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other pollutants by using a modified pressure washer at extremely low levels, typically under 500 psi. Soft washing not only gives your exterior surfaces a deep clean, but it will also refresh your curb appeal. The pressure washer tip is typically changed out to a wider nozzle that offers a gentle fan spray of water that helps prevent stripping away paint, stains, sealants, and other coatings.
Q. When should I power wash my house?
A. Many factors determine when you should pressure wash your house including climate, temperature and the local environment. The optimal time to pressure wash a house in New Jersey is during the spring when temperatures are between 40 and 75 degrees. Spring is ideal because wet winter weather from the previous season may have caused dirt, mold, and mildew to build up in vulnerable areas. This includes roofs, gutters, decks, and siding. Fall is another good time to pressure wash if your house is not surrounded by several trees.
