Our soft washing services produce more thorough and long-lasting results than pressure washing, and we encourage you to experience the difference for yourself.
The first difference between pressure washing and soft washing has to do with the level of the water pressure used for each method. As the name implies, pressure washing relies on high water pressure to remove dirt and grime from your surfaces. In contrast, the water pressure used in soft washing is much, much lower, which makes it gentler on your surfaces and more appropriate for use on softer materials such as siding.
The other main difference between the two methods lies in how they remove stains caused by organic growth, such as algae or mold. Pressure washing uses water pressure to physically remove these substances, while soft washing uses a specialized cleaning solution to kill the organisms first. Killing organic growth before washing it off produces long-lasting results, which is why we prefer soft washing to pressure washing.

“Logan was great and very helpful! Our newly purchased home had a roof that was in great shape but was in dire need of cleaning due to algae, moss, and other organic material. The softwash solution sprayed on did the trick and left the roof and all of our plants in great shape! Highly recommend Buckeye Softwash to anyone who needs their roof, gutters, or garage cleaned.”

FAQs About Pressure Washing
Pressure washing may be one of the best-known exterior cleaning methods, but higher water pressure is not appropriate for every surface. We prefer soft washing for siding and other delicate exterior materials because it combines gentle water pressure with specialized cleaning solutions that target the source of organic staining. If you are comparing pressure washing with our soft washing process, these FAQs explain some important differences.
Do you recommend pressure washing for every exterior surface?
No. High-pressure water can be useful for certain durable surfaces, but it is not the best choice for more delicate materials. For surfaces such as siding, we prefer soft washing because it cleans effectively without relying on the intense water pressure used in traditional pressure washing.
How does your soft washing process remove mold and algae?
Instead of blasting organic growth away with water pressure, soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions to target organisms such as mold and algae. The treatment kills the organic growth before rinsing it away, allowing us to address the source of the staining rather than simply removing what is visible on the surface.
Why can soft washing results last longer than pressure washing results?
Pressure washing primarily relies on physical force to remove contaminants from a surface. Our soft washing process targets organic growth with a cleaning solution first. Because we address the organisms behind many exterior stains, the cleaned surface can look better for longer.
Can soft washing clean vinyl siding without exposing it to high pressure?
Yes. Vinyl siding is an excellent example of a surface where our soft washing method is appropriate. We can remove dirt, grime, and organic growth while using much lower water pressure than conventional pressure washing.
