Refresh Your Home with Gentle Residential Soft Washing

Maintaining the cleanliness and appearance of your home’s exterior isn’t just a way to increase curb appeal, but also a preventative measure that helps protect the structural integrity of your investment. As time goes on, siding, roofs, decks and driveways accumulate dirt, algae, mold or mildew and other organic stains that create unsightly build up and could cause permanent damage. For homeowners who desire an age-old touch with the latest in cleaning technology, Residential soft wash in Abington delivers a new innovative way to safely and softly clean your property. For example, while pressure washing uses a high level of water pressure that shoots at your house, soft washing utilizes lower amounts of water and biodegradable cleaning solutions that can help achieve the same level of cleanliness without damaging your home’s surfaces.

The main distinction between pressure washing and soft washing is the kind of application that goes into it. Traditional pressure washing applies high-pressure water (typically over 2,000 PSI) to blow dirt off the building, but soft washing uses less than 500 PSI. This lower pressure, along with our specially designed cleaning products are able to clean most any surface by removing the dirt and the grime. The Pressure Washing Resource Association (PWRA) notes that soft washing is 3–4 times more effective than pressure washing at removing living organisms and treating the root of your problem instead of the symptom.

This provides a perfect environment for life to thrive, particularly on the north side of walls and in shaded locations. Algae like Gloeocapsa magma — which causes those dark stains on siding and roofs — can quickly grow and feed on limestone fillers that are common in roof shingles. Over time, this can spoil your home’s attractiveness and even reduce the life of a roof by up to 30 percent, reported the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA). Soft washing eradicates these micro-organisms and deters them from returning, helping your home stay clean while also shielding its solid even before time.

Homeowners also appreciate that Residential soft wash in Abington can be used on so many surfaces. It’s compatible with many types of surfaces including vinyl, stucco, brick, wood and concrete. The unique cleaning agents that soft washing utilizes are made specifically for different material surfaces and will not harm surrounding ones as a result. For instance, siding is treated with gentle detergents that remove progressive dirt and diffuse algae; while decks/fence also need organic neutralizers to burn off mildew and pollen contamination. High pressure washing risks cracking and stripping, whereas soft-washing accomplishes the same result without damaging finishes or coatings.

Eco-Friendly Aspects of Soft Washing When you look at the environment standpoint, soft washing falls in line with eco-friendly approaches. These agents are usually environmentally safe and biodegradable, meaning they will decompose after use without interfering with soil or water ecology and are EPA approved for safety. Plus, the technique uses far less water compared to pressure washing — as much as 50% less, according to Soft Wash Systems Institute. This is what makes soft washing an environmentally-friendly option for homeowners who wish to clean their home’s exterior while leaving the smallest environmental footprint possible.

But more than that, a periodic exterior wash is good for your home and your family's health. Exterior mold, mildew and bacteria spores on walls can release clumps of their microscopic cells into the air where they are likely to be inhaled by your and trigger allergy symptoms. Such agents can cause respiratory irritation and allergy. Routine soft washing removes these harmful organisms and helps in maintaining a cleaner, healthier place to work or live. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), mold is one of the main triggers promoting allergies and asthma—and all that much more reason to maintain a clean exterior on your home.

Additionally, soft washing increases your energy savings. When your house’s surfaces are covered in dirt and grime, they draw heat from the sun, causing indoor surface temperatures to rise and cooling systems work harder. Unsoiled surfaces are more reflective to sunlight and can control indoor temperatures significantly using natural means. The U.S. Department of Energy notes that energy consumption can be decreased 10%–15% by hiring a commercial cleaning company to keep building facades neat and reflective in the warm summer months. When you schedule a regular cleaning, you’re not just making the place LOOK better but also saving in long-term energy costs.

It is the procedure that is both effective and non-surgical. Trained professionals usually start with comprehensive evaluation to assess the surface condition and level of contamination. Then, the cleaner is spread on in an even manner and left to penetrate for a couple of minutes before pressure washing off. What you're left with is a clean, rejuvenated surface devoid of streaks and discoloration as well as organic build-up. High-pressure cleaning can push water under the siding, under the protective layer; it can even penetrate through burrows and small entry holes if a wide spray angle is used leaving you with problems of damage from wet insulation and insect infestation.

The timing of your cleaning is also important. I and other experts recommend soft washing your home every 12 to 18 months, depending on the weather conditions in your area and other environmental factors. In Abington, where the climate is humid because of its proximity to Cape Cod Bay, spring or early summer is best because it cleans away winter residue and readies the house for warmer, wetter months. Houses with tree-trees or located close to a wooded area may require additional regular cleanings because of increased pollen and organic debris build-up.

From a financial aspect, soft washing your home on a regular basis is one of the most affordable avenues you can take to keep up its value. According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors), a home’s potential resale value can increase by five percent, based on just the cleanliness the outside of a home. And maintaining siding, paint and roofing can hold off costly repairs or replacements. A new roof will run between $10,000 – $15,000 on average so that preventive treatment using soft washing is a sound investment.

Oftentimes, homeowners underestimate how dramatic an impact a clean exterior can have on the overall aesthetic of their property. A clean home will not only look younger and brighter, but you’ll feel a pride of ownership that makes for an inviting environment. Whether you are selling or simply maintaining your home’s curb appeal, soft washing can make a big difference for relatively little effort.

In summary, softer wash in your home safely and cost-effectively is the way forward, protecting your environment as well. This gentle but effective technique not only preserves your investment, it also clears the air by removing dust that circulates throughout your home and increases energy efficiency, while promoting long-term structural integrity. With soft washing as part of your regular maintenance, you can easily maintain a fresh, beautiful home for years to come. It's more than cleaning — it’s caring for your home the smart, sustainable way.
