Soft Wash Or Pressure Wash?
Come spring, homeowners walk their property and start spotting what needs done. Elite Softwash owner Brandon Metzger sat down with Living Local 15 to explain what actually keeps a house clean, and why the method matters. Elite offers a wide range of exterior cleaning: house washing, concrete cleaning, roof cleaning, and more.
Why Soft Washing Wins On Siding And Roofs
House washing is our most popular service, and it is done with low pressure soft washing. We apply a professional cleaning solution that reaches the gutters, soffits, and all the siding. It works on any surface, vinyl, aluminum, brick, or stucco, and it does more than clean. It restores the surface and helps prevent regrowth of the green algae and organic growth that dulls a home. On a roof it lifts the black streaks and algae the safe way, which is the method shingle manufacturers recommend.
The Real Danger Of A DIY Power Washer
It is tempting to grab a pressure washer from the store and do it yourself, but high pressure causes long term damage. It is hard on shingles. On siding it can force water in behind the panels and leave permanent wand marks that mean replacement. On wood and composite decking it splinters and disrupts the surface. There is a lot that can go wrong for the do it yourselfer, which is why the right method, done by a trained crew, protects your home instead of damaging it.
