Pressure washing, also known as power washing, is a method of cleaning surfaces using high-pressure water sprayers. It’s an effective way to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other debris from various surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, decks, fences, and more.
Professional pressure washing services offer several advantages over DIY attempts. Professionals have the right equipment, expertise, and knowledge to handle different surfaces and use of the right chemicals and know how to adjust the pressure accordingly. They can achieve better results while minimizing the risk of damage to your property.
No. Pressure washing can be safe for most surfaces when done correctly. However, some delicate surfaces like painted surfaces, stucco, wood, and certain types of roofing materials may require lower pressure or alternative cleaning methods. A professional pressure washing company will assess the surface and use appropriate techniques to avoid any damage.
The frequency of pressure washing depends on several factors like the location of your property, surrounding environment, and the type of surface. As a general guideline, most homeowners opt for pressure washing once or twice a year to keep their exteriors clean and well-maintained.
Pressure washing can effectively remove many stains, including dirt, mildew, and algae. However, certain stains like oil, rust, or deeply embedded grime may require additional treatments or specialized cleaning methods. A professional pressure washing service will assess the stains and determine the best approach to achieve optimal results.
When done correctly, pressure washing should not damage your property. However, using excessive pressure or incorrect techniques can cause damage to delicate surfaces, such as etching on concrete, stripping paint, or splintering wood. Hiring a professional with experience and knowledge in pressure washing will minimize the risk of damage.
You don’t necessarily need to be present during the pressure washing service, especially if you have provided access to the areas that need to be cleaned. However, it’s recommended to be available in case the professionals have any questions or need access to specific areas.

Pressure vs. Soft Washing - What’s the difference?
Pressure washing and soft washing are two different methods used for cleaning surfaces, especially exterior surfaces of buildings, homes, driveways, decks, and roofs. The main difference between the two lies in the intensity of the water pressure and the cleaning agents used.
Pressure Washing: Pressure washing involves the use of highly pressurized water to remove dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and stubborn stains from surfaces. It uses a high-powered machine that sprays water at a forceful pressure, typically ranging from 1,500 to 4,000 pounds per square inch (PSI). Pressure washing is suitable for hard surfaces such as concrete, brick, and metal, where the force of the water can effectively blast away dirt and debris.
Soft Washing: Soft washing, on the other hand, is a gentler method that utilizes a low-pressure system to clean surfaces. Instead of relying solely on water pressure, soft washing incorporates specialized cleaning solutions or detergents to break down stains, kill algae, mold, and other organic matter, and sanitize the surface. The water pressure in soft washing typically ranges from 100 to 500 PSI, significantly lower than that used in pressure washing. Soft washing is commonly used for more delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, stucco, wood, and painted surfaces, where excessive pressure could cause damage.
In summary, pressure washing is a high-pressure cleaning method suitable for hard surfaces, while soft washing is a low-pressure method that utilizes cleaning solutions for more delicate surfaces. The choice between the two methods depends on the type of surface being cleaned and the level of dirt or stains present. It is important to consider the surface material, the extent of grime, and the potential for damage before deciding which method to use.
