If you're planning to clean your home’s exterior, driveway, roof, or siding, you’ve probably come across two terms: pressure washing and soft washing. While they may sound similar, they’re actually two distinct cleaning methods, each with its own ideal use.

At Bright & Shiny Window Cleaning & Pressure Washing, we offer both—but we always recommend the right solution based on your surface and your goals.

Let’s break it down.

💦 What Is Pressure Washing?

Pressure washing uses high-pressure water spray (typically 2,500+ PSI) to blast away:

  • Built-up dirt
  • Mud and grime
  • Stains on concrete or brick
  • Moss on hard surfaces
  • Chewing gum, oil, or rust spots

Best For:

  • Driveways
  • Sidewalks
  • Patios
  • Brick walls
  • Parking lots
  • Pool decks

Pressure washing is ideal for durable, non-painted, horizontal surfaces that can handle the intensity of the spray.

🌿 What Is Soft Washing?

Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with biodegradable cleaning solutions to gently remove:

  • Mold and mildew
  • Algae
  • Pollen and dirt
  • Bacteria and biofilm

The cleaning agent does most of the work—so there’s no need for harsh water pressure.

Best For:

  • Roofs (especially shingles)
  • House siding (vinyl, stucco, wood)
  • Fences
  • Outdoor furniture
  • Painted surfaces

Soft washing is perfect for fragile, painted, or organic-prone surfaces, as it kills and removes buildup at the source without causing damage.
