Pressure Washing vs Soft Washing: What's the Difference?

When it comes to exterior cleaning, two main methods are commonly used: pressure washing and soft washing. Understanding the difference is crucial for protecting your property.

Pressure Washing

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water (typically 1,500-3,000 PSI) to remove dirt, stains, and grime from hard surfaces. It's ideal for:

  • Concrete driveways and sidewalks
  • Brick and stone surfaces
  • Heavy-duty cleaning jobs

Soft Washing

Soft washing uses low-pressure water (typically 500-1,000 PSI) combined with specialized cleaning solutions. It's perfect for:

  • Vinyl siding
  • Stucco surfaces
  • Painted exteriors
  • Delicate materials

Which Method is Right for You?

The choice between pressure washing and soft washing depends on the surface type and cleaning needs. Our experienced team at Radiant Exterior Cleaning can assess your property and recommend the best approach.
