PRESSURE WASHING VS. SOFT WASHING: WHAT HOMEOWNERS IN STATESBORO & POOLER, GA SHOULD KNOW
If you're a homeowner in Statesboro, Pooler, or nearby, you've probably noticed how quickly Georgia’s humidity can lead to mildew, mold, and grime buildup on your siding, driveway, and roof. When it's time to clean things up, two terms come up a lot: pressure washing and soft washing.
But what’s the difference—and which one is right for your home?
At
ProSafe Power Washing, we believe an informed homeowner is a confident homeowner. Here's what you need to know.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water—usually between 2,500 and 4,000 PSI—to blast away tough grime, dirt, oil stains, and debris from hard surfaces like:
- Driveways & sidewalks
- Concrete patios
- Brick & stone
- Pool decks
This method is highly effective but best reserved for surfaces that can handle that level of force.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely remove organic buildup like algae, mold, mildew, and pollen. It’s the preferred method for:
- Roofs (asphalt shingles, tile, metal)
- Vinyl siding
- Stucco
- Painted wood
- Fences
Soft washing is gentle on your home but tough on stains. It’s perfect for protecting delicate surfaces from damage while still delivering an incredible clean.
Why It Matters for Homeowners in Southeast Georgia
In areas like Statesboro, Pooler, and surrounding parts of southeast Georgia, the climate can be tough on your home’s exterior. The combination of heat, humidity, and pollen creates the perfect environment for organic growth—and that’s where the right cleaning method makes a big difference.
Using pressure washing on a roof, for example, could strip shingles or force water into your attic. Using soft washing on a stained concrete driveway might not give you the deep clean you’re looking for. Choosing the right cleaning method is crucial—not just for appearance, but for longevity and safety.
That’s why ProSafe tailors every service—we evaluate the surface and the stains to choose the safest and most effective method.
