What is Soft-Washing?
Soft washing was developed over 35 years ago, as an alternative to traditional pressure washing, especially in areas where organic buildup is common. Since then, it’s become a trusted method for safely cleaning and preserving surfaces that would typically be pressure washed. The process focuses on applying powerful, 100% biodegradable solutions at low, gentle pressure.
Unlike pressure washing, soft washing doesn’t just clean, it sanitizes and continues to protect surfaces long after the job is done. Our approach prioritizes the careful, controlled application of EPA-compliant cleaning agents over brute force. The result? A deep, lasting clean that’s safe for your home or business.
What Are The Benefits?
When used improperly or relied on exclusively, pressure washers can cause significant damage, especially to older roofs and delicate surfaces. High pressure can lead to erosion, stripping away materials already weakened by age or decay. While pressure washing has its place, such as cleaning heavy machinery, most residential and commercial properties are better served by a gentler, low-pressure approach like soft washing. It’s safer, more effective, and extends the life of your surfaces.
Greener, Cleaner Sanitizing Solution
Pressure washers require 3–10 gallons of water per minute, using 180–480 gallons in an hour. By contrast, a 12-volt low-pressure softwash system utilizes approximately 60 gallons of solution, comprising around 40 gallons of water, delivering a more efficient and environmentally conscious cleaning process.
Soft-Washing Tackles Pesky Infestations
Surfaces on your home or business aren’t just dirty—they’re contaminated. Pressure washing removes only the top layer of biomass, not the root cause. Like shrubs, organic growth regrows stronger if merely cut back. To stop it, the source must be directly addressed and thoroughly treated for lasting results.

Our softwash treatment solution and process is so effective that it lasts 5 times longer than only pressure washing, which means your surfaces stay sanitized longer.
