What Soft Washing Is And Why It Matters
A Safer Alternative To High-Pressure Cleaning
Soft washing is a low-pressure exterior cleaning method that uses specialized biodegradable detergents to break down dirt, organic growth, and stains at their source. Unlike traditional pressure washing that relies mainly on force, soft washing allows cleaning solutions to do the work, protecting delicate surfaces from damage.
This method is ideal for roofing, siding, stucco, painted surfaces, and other areas that can be cracked, etched, or stripped by high pressure. By targeting mold, mildew, algae, and bacteria on a chemical level, soft washing not only cleans the surface but also slows regrowth, keeping your property looking cleaner for longer.
Protecting Surfaces While Enhancing Curb Appeal
Professional soft washing helps preserve the integrity and lifespan of your exterior materials. Roofing shingles, vinyl siding, wood, and decorative trim all benefit from a gentler approach that removes contaminants without loosening fasteners, lifting edges, or stripping finishes. This preventative care can reduce repair costs and prolong the need for repainting or roof replacement.
Beyond protection, soft washing dramatically improves curb appeal by restoring original color and brightness. By removing streaks, stains, and organic growth, the property looks fresher and better maintained, which can positively influence perceived value and create a healthier outdoor environment for occupants and visitors.
A Detailed, Step-By-Step Exterior Cleaning Process
TunaClean Service begins each soft washing project with an inspection of the surfaces to be cleaned, identifying material types, existing damage, and the primary sources of staining or organic growth. Based on this assessment, technicians select the correct cleaning solutions, dilution ratios, and application techniques tailored to roofs, siding, fences, decks, or other exterior surfaces involved in the project.
During application, low-pressure equipment gently delivers cleaning solutions onto the surface, allowing dwell time for detergents to break down grime, algae, mold, and mildew. Technicians monitor the process carefully, adjusting as needed to ensure even coverage without over-saturation. Sensitive areas such as landscaping, outdoor decor, and lighting fixtures are pre-rinsed or covered for added protection.
Once the cleaning agents have done their work, the area is thoroughly rinsed using controlled, low-pressure water flow. This step removes loosened contaminants while preserving paints, sealants, and structural components. A final walkthrough confirms that stains have been effectively treated and that all equipment, hoses, and protective coverings are removed, leaving the property clean, safe, and ready to enjoy.
