Pressure washing services in Greenville SC are not all the same. Although some local pressure washing companies can give you excellent service and offer you many of the services we provide, the majority do not. Pressure washing your concrete driveway or walls of your commercial building seems like a no brainer, but believe it or not there is a level of expertise necessary to not only power wash it correctly but to make sure the water or chemicals do not damage your property.

Your home eventually loses its color and natural attractions; pressure washing is the most effective method for cleaning the exterior of your home. The jet of water at high pressure can penetrate textured surfaces like aluminum, wood, concrete, and vinyl sidings and return the vibrant colors that were probably lost.

Pressure washers are portable and can run on either electricity or gas. The engine powers a water pump, which is fed by a garden hose. The unit pressurizes the water so it comes out with greater force than a garden hose alone could muster.

The cleaning power of a pressure washer is determined by combining its water pressure with the amount of water used to clean a surface. To calculate its cleaning power, or CP, multiply a pressure washer’s maximum PSI rating by its GPM flow (CP = PSI x GPM).

That much pressure is designed to strip substances away from surfaces, so be careful when using a pressure washer. It can just as easily strip away a plant as a stain. Above all, never point the spray wand at a person as it could well cause injury.

When it’s time to clean your wood deck in preparation for refinishing, a chemical deck brightener applied by hand-scrubbing may not do the job of deep-cleaning, but a power washer will. Often pressure washing in Greenville SC can effectively clean a deck with just plain water. However, a pressure washer can ruin your deck if it’s not used properly. This is a tool that is powerful enough to etch brick, but in the right hands it can also be gentle enough to wash siding. If you use it with too much jet pressure or place the tip too close to the surface of your deck, you can deeply etch the wood and cause the fibers to splinter.

What is Soft Washing in Greenville SC?

Soft washing is a low pressure cleaning process commonly used to safely treat and remove organic matter: mildew, bacteria, algae, fungus, moss, lichens in addition to dirt, grime and spiderwebs. Soft washing originated as an alternative to power washing where high pressure can cause damages. The application is achieved from low pressure dedicated pumps where measurements of commonly used products, mainly sodium hypochlorite (bleach) and detergents can be precisely metered and applied. Soft Washing continues to evolve. Pumps now available producing more pressure than original electric diaphragm pumps, allowing solution to be safely applied at further distances and adding increased rinsing volume. (Booster pumps, air diaphragm, and gas powered diaphragm pumps. Metering systems, allowing precise metering and mixture of sodium hypochlorite (bleach), detergent and water. Color marking detergents available to show where mixture has been sprayed, reducing usage while assuring proper coverage. Remote systems to switch between applying solution and rinsing. Neutralizing agents to aid in reducing damages that can be caused by chemicals. Soft washing has drastically changed the proficiency and safety of cleaning structures and roofs.

Soft washing is a cleaning method using low pressure and specialized solutions (typically bleach, water, and sometimes a surfactant) to safely remove mildew, bacteria, algae and other organic stains from roofs and other building exteriors. It is so named to differentiate the method from power washing. The Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association recommends low-pressure bleach or detergent assisted washing as the preferred method for cleaning asphalt roofs in order to prevent damage to the shingles.

Soft washing is using an electric agricultural sprayer to apply a water-based, biodegradable disinfectant cleaning solution to kill the mold, mildew, bacteria, algae, fungus, moss and more on exterior home and building surfaces.

Soft washing Equipment is distinctly different than power and pressure washing equipment. The electric diaphragm pump applies the cleaning solution at 40-80 PSI. The equipment used for soft washing may also have telescoping handles so that the cleaning solution can easily reach roof eaves, upper story windows, and other such areas, without this added pressure.
