Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing: What’s Better for Your Siding?
If you’re a homeowner in New Jersey looking to clean the exterior of your home, chances are you’ve heard of both soft washing and pressure washing. But which one is right for your siding? At Max’s Pressure Washing, we get this question all the time – and today, we’re breaking it down. 🏡💧
🔍 What Is the Difference?
Pressure Washing: Uses high-pressure water (typically 2,500+ PSI) to blast away dirt, grime, mold, and mildew from hard surfaces like concrete, brick, and stone.
Soft Washing: Uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to safely remove build-up from delicate surfaces like siding, stucco, or roofing.
🧼 Why Soft Washing Is Safer for Siding
New Jersey homes, especially those in Monmouth County, often feature vinyl, wood, or composite siding. These materials can be damaged by high pressure. That’s where soft washing shines:
✅ No Damage to Paint or Siding Materials
✅ Kills Mold and Algae at the Root
✅ Eco-Safe Detergents Protect Landscaping
High-pressure cleaning can strip paint, crack siding, or force water behind panels, leading to moisture issues. Soft washing is safer, smarter, and often more effective for homes.
🧰 When to Use Pressure Washing Instead
Pressure washing isn’t obsolete—it’s just for the right surface:
Concrete driveways and sidewalks
Brick and stone patios
Heavy-duty cleaning jobs (like commercial lots)
At Max's, we use the best method for the job. Our team is fully trained to evaluate your surfaces and recommend the right approach every time.
