Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast dirt off hard surfaces. House washing — also called soft washing — uses low-pressure water combined with professional-grade cleaning solutions. The chemistry does the work, not the pressure.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing delivers water at 1,500–4,000 PSI. It’s appropriate for concrete driveways and sidewalks, brick pavers, concrete patios, and parking lots.
What Is House Washing?
Soft washing uses 60–500 PSI combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions. It’s the correct method for vinyl siding, stucco, wood siding, Hardie board, and painted surfaces.
Why High Pressure Damages House Siding
High pressure can crack vinyl siding, force water behind panels creating mold conditions, crack stucco, and raise wood grain. Once grain is raised, wood absorbs moisture more aggressively.
