PDX Roof Care is a company homeowners should pay attention to. Their attention to detail regarding roof cleaning/moss removal is a impressive and relief to know their work is done correctly. I am extremely pleased at the quality of work I received not only on my roof but the moss between the pavers on my deck. I would not hesitate for one second to use their service if needed.

Soft Wash FAQs

What is a soft wash?

Soft washing is a specialized cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with specific cleaning solutions to gently yet effectively clean exterior surfaces. This technique stands apart from traditional high-pressure or power washing methods. It’s particularly suited for delicate surfaces where high pressure can cause damage, such as roofs, siding, and windows.

Understanding the Soft Washing Process

Soft washing involves a careful balance of low-pressure water, bleach, and cleaning surfactants. This combination effectively removes organic stains, mildew, and algae without risking damage to the surfaces being cleaned.

  • Low-Pressure Technique: The water pressure used in soft washing is significantly lower than that of power washing. It’s strong enough to reach and clean surfaces effectively but gentle enough to avoid damage.
  • Cleaning Solutions: The typical soft washing solution contains bleach or vinegar to disinfect and remove stains, and surfactants that help in loosening, trapping, and carrying away dirt and other unwanted substances. These solutions are eco-friendly and safe for both the environment and the surface being cleaned.

Is soft wash better than pressure washing?

While both methods are used for cleaning exteriors, they serve different purposes and are suited for different types of surfaces:

  • Pressure Washing: Utilizes high-pressure water and is ideal for handling tough stains and dirt on hard surfaces like concrete.
  • Soft Washing: Best for delicate surfaces such as roof shingles, siding, and windows where high pressure could cause damage.

When and Why to Use Soft Washing

Soft washing is particularly effective for cleaning areas prone to organic growth, like roofs and siding. It not only cleans the surface but also treats and prevents the growth of algae, moss, and mildew.

  • Roof Cleaning: Soft washing is the recommended method for cleaning roofs. It removes harmful algae (such as Gloeocapsa magma), which can shorten the life of roof shingles.
  • Siding and Windows: For surfaces that could be damaged by high pressure, soft washing is a safe alternative, effectively cleaning without the risk of damage.

What are the benefits of Soft Washing?

Soft washing offers several benefits over traditional pressure washing, including:

  • Gentle yet Effective: It cleans without causing damage to delicate surfaces.
  • Eco-Friendly: The solutions used are biodegradable and environmentally safe.
  • Long-Lasting Results: By addressing the root cause of stains and growths, soft washing provides longer-lasting cleanliness.
  • Cost-Effective: Prevents potential damage, saving money on repairs.

Selecting the Right Equipment and Chemicals

  • Equipment: A soft wash system with the appropriate nozzles for low-pressure application.
  • Chemicals: A balanced mix of bleach, water, and surfactants, tailored to the specific cleaning task.

What are the benefits of hiring a professional Soft Washing Service vs DIY?

While soft washing can be a DIY project, professional services offer expertise, experience, and the right equipment for effective and safe cleaning. They can handle complex tasks and ensure that the job is done correctly (without damaging surfaces) and safely.

In conclusion, soft washing is a valuable method for cleaning and maintaining various exterior surfaces. By understanding and applying this technique correctly, homeowners can ensure their properties remain clean, attractive, and in good condition. For professional soft washing services, consider reaching out to experts who specialize in this method.

What is the soft washing process?

At Roof Care PDX we do not only excel at exterior cleaning, but at each of the services and steps necessary to deliver flawless results. 

Step 1 – Preparation

The first step is moving any furniture to a safe location, and covering any bodies of water (ponds, pools, hot-tubs).

Step 2 – Roof & Gutters

If you select roof cleaning we first remove any large clumps of moss or build up using a brush on your roof.

Step 3 – Soft Wash

We apply an environmentally friendly  roof soft wash detergent that softens and breaks up any build up. After the detergent had some time to soak we use our soft wash techniques to remove the moss, dirt and thoroughly rinse any dirt and detergent off of the roof.

Step 4 – Gutters & Downspouts

With the roof being cleaned we then clean out any debris from the gutters and all of the downspouts.

Step 5 – House Exterior Soft Wash

Once the roof and gutters are clean we apply an environmentally friendly  detergent of the exterior of the home. After the detergent had some time to soak we use our soft wash techniques to thoroughly clean the walls of the home. 

Step 6 – Final Clean Up

After the exterior of the house is cleaned we sweep, blow and collect any debris of the surrounding areas of the house.

Step 6 – Moss Inhibitor

After the the cleaning process is finished we apply moss/algae/mold inhibitor to your roof and home.

Step 7 – Final Inspection

Before we leave we do a final walk around making sure we did not over look any portion of the roof, gutters, house and surrounding area.

The cost washing a home exterior can vary greatly depending on multiple factors, such as the size of the home, and the type of surface being washed, and the level of dirt build up.

Most residential home owners can expect to pay between $300 and $1500 for a professional to clean their home exterior. However, it can be lower or higher depending on the size of the area, the number of floors.

That is why we recommend reaching out for your free customized estimate. 

In general experts recommend having your house exterior washed once a year. However, it really depends on multiple factors such as the climate, the environment, and the type of surface. If you live in an area with lots of rain and lots of vegetation, you may need to wash it more frequently.

It’s important to schedule regular exterior washing as dirt build up can cause discoloration and even damage the siding or paint resulting in expensive repairs. 

We first apply a cleaning solution that helps loosen dirt and grime. We then use a hand held water spray gun with an appropriate pressure nozzle for your homes exterior to wash away all the dirt and grime. After the area is washed it is rinsed off with clean water. 

While soft washing can be a DIY project, professional services offer expertise, experience, and the right equipment for effective and safe cleaning. They can handle complex tasks and ensure that the job is done correctly (without damaging surfaces) and safely.
