There is no feeling like lighting a candle after a cleaning spree, right? You’ve vacuumed, mopped, done laundry and dishes, and scrubbed just about every inch of your house. You’re ready to relax in the yard with your other half. When you step outside, that feeling of accomplishment instantly vanishes. The inside looks amazing…but your white siding doesn’t even look white anymore. All that you can see are splashes of brown from the kids throwing dirt while they were playing. With another glance, you see what looks like mold, likely from humidity and water getting trapped during summer storms. You think, “Well, I’ll relax for now, but it looks like I’ll be spending my weekend pressure washing.” But, you don’t have to! Roof Savers has a better approach that is much safer for your home. Below, we will outline why you need to avoid pressure washing and, instead, soft wash!
An Overall Safer Option
Roof Savers has perfected their soft washing technique over the years in order to save roofs, siding, and wood not only in San Marcos, but around the nation. Rather than using high pressure and blasting water at your house, we have decided on something better. Using a more gentle pressure combined with industry-approved and environmentally friendly cleaners has been much more effective, in our widespread experience.
Can I Soft Wash My Siding By Myself?
You can soft wash the exterior of your home by yourself, but sometimes, it’s best to have a professional’s touch. If the area of your siding that you are concerned with is small, you can just use warm water, soap, and a non-abrasive sponge or soft brush. If your area of concern is larger, though, you are going to have to make sure that you have the correct equipment for the job and correctly prepare the area. You also want to make sure that any cleaning solution that you may put on your siding isn’t going to damage it in any way. Lastly, always remember that safety is very important when it comes to home maintenance tasks! Protect yourself and your surroundings if you are going to attempt this job by yourself.
What’s so Wrong With Pressure Washing?
All these years, we’ve all been told how amazing pressure washing is. And it is amazing, just not for cleaning your home’s exterior! It may get the job done, but you may also see chips in your paint or even cracks in the material. The gentler pressure of soft washing on your siding can greatly reduce, if not completely take away, the amount of damage that can be done when pressure washing.
