What is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a method of cleaning that uses low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, and other stains from the surface of a building or structure. This method is considered to be more gentle and effective than traditional pressure washing, which uses high pressure streams of water to blast away dirt and grime. Soft washing is typically used to clean delicate or porous surfaces, such as wood siding, stucco, or brick, as it is less likely to cause damage or wear and tear.
During a soft washing treatment, a professional cleaner will apply a mixture of water and cleaning agents to the surface of the building using a low pressure sprayer. The solution is allowed to sit on the surface for a short period of time before being rinsed off, allowing it to penetrate and loosen dirt and stains. Soft washing is an effective way to restore the appearance of a dirty or algae-covered building and protect the surface from further damage. It is often used to clean the exterior of homes, businesses, and other structures, as well as roof cleaning, decks, and other surfaces.
Gloeocapsa Magma (Mold & Algae)
Those black streaks you see are actually Gloeocapsa Magma which is a bacteria that blackens your roof. This roof algae is a living organism that can actually feed off the components of your asphalt shingles, tiles and other roofing materials. The spores, or clumps of cells, usually start their colonization on the North facing side, due to its more favorable shading and moisture.
Given enough time it can even destroy your roof requiring replacement. If not controlled, the algae, mold, fungus and mildew will spread to other parts of your roof, gutters, pavers as well as painted areas. Time to get a roof cleaning!
Curb Appeal & Maintenance
There’s a reason why Realtors turn to Roof Cleaning and Pressure Washing before they put a property on the market. It’s an instant boost in curb appeal. Not only will house washing add an average 10-15% of value on the home, but it also preserves a home for the long term.
It’s always better to be proactive rather than reactive. Don’t simply spot clean where it’s visible. If there is algae in one spot there could be more that you can’t see. Algae is not always visible and normally by the time it is visible some damage has already been done. Algae actually eats at the limestone filling that’s used in the production of roof shingles.
Granules on shingled roofs will become dislodged; shortening the life of the roof. Dirt, mold, mildew, soot, airborne pollutants & other contaminants we find in Florida can and will cause permanent damage to building surfaces and premature failure of coatings. Which is why the best time for your roof cleaning is today, preventing any damages from starting and or continuing.
