Soft Wash vs. Pressure Wash: Which is Right for Your Connecticut Home?



When it comes to cleaning the exterior of your Connecticut home, two primary methods often come to mind: soft washing and pressure washing. But which one is the best option for your home? At Klemov Exterior Cleaning, we're here to help you make an informed decision. Here's a breakdown of the differences between soft washing and pressure washing and why soft washing may be the best choice for your home.


What Is Pressure Washing?

Pressure washing involves using a high-powered stream of water to blast away dirt, mold, and grime from surfaces. The pressure used can be as high as 3,000 PSI, making it an effective method for cleaning sturdy surfaces such as:

  • Concrete driveways

  • Brick pathways

  • Sturdy fences


However, the high pressure can cause damage to more delicate surfaces like wood, vinyl siding, and roof shingles.


What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses a combination of low-pressure water and specially formulated cleaning solutions to safely remove mold, mildew, algae, and other contaminants. This gentle yet effective method is perfect for cleaning:

  • Roof shingles

  • Vinyl siding

  • Wood decks and fences

  • Stucco

  • Outdoor furniture


At Klemov Exterior Cleaning, our experienced team uses environmentally friendly detergents that are safe for your family and pets while delivering a thorough clean.


Key Differences Between Soft Wash and Pressure Wash


Pressure Wash:

  • High Pressure (up to 3,000 PSI): Great for tough stains and surfaces

  • Best For: Concrete, brick, and metal

  • Potential Damage: Can harm delicate surfaces like wood or roof shingles


Soft Wash:

  • Low Pressure (less than 500 PSI): Gentle on surfaces

  • Best For: Roofs, siding, decks, fences, and more

  • Eco-Friendly Solutions: Specialized detergents break down contaminants


Why Soft Washing Is the Best Choice for Connecticut Homes


Preserve Your Home's Integrity:

  • Connecticut homes often feature delicate siding materials that can be easily damaged by high-pressure washing. Soft washing ensures your home's beauty remains intact.


Eco-Friendly Cleaning:

  • Our biodegradable cleaning solutions are designed to effectively kill mold and mildew without harming your plants, pets, or family.


Long-Lasting Results:

  • Soft washing not only removes dirt and grime but also kills the root of mold and algae, preventing them from growing back quickly.

  • At Klemov Exterior Cleaning, we customize our soft wash solution to meet your specific cleaning needs, ensuring a spotless, safe, and long-lasting clean.
