Soft washing vs Power Washing vs Pressure Washing Explained

Soft washing is distinct from pressure washing because of the pressure of the water used for washing.

Soft washing is a low-pressure form of washing using a high GPM to PSI ratio. Soft washing is typically done on surfaces that could be damaged by high PSI, such as wood, shingles, siding, and more.

Pressure washing utilizes high PSI, sometimes as high as 4000+ PSI. Pressure washing uses the mechanical energy of high-pressure water to remove dirt and grime from hard surfaces, such as concrete, sidewalks, and more.

Power washing is pressure washing that uses hot water to aid in the cleaning process. Certain situations require hot water to adequately clean the surface, such as oil, grease, and food residue.

 

Benefits of Soft Washing

Soft washing is a great method for cleaning more delicate surfaces. It relies on the use of bio-friendly chemicals to break down and kill algae, mold, and grime. While pressure washing can mechanically remove dirt, grime, mold, and algae, it doesn't stop the mold or algae from growing.  The chemicals used in soft washing will kill off mold and algae to prevent them from quickly growing back.

Understanding GPM and PSI

GPM stands for gallons per minute and PSI stands for pounds per square inch.

GPM measures the amount of water flow. Higher GPM means more water, which allows for faster cleaning and rinsing.

PSI measures the pressure of the water stream. Higher PSI means higher pressure and more mechanical energy to assist with hard-to-remove dirt and grime.
