For a long time, exterior wall pressure washing has been the go-to service for many commercial space owners looking to improve the cleanliness of their buildings. However, this isn’t actually the best option for your business. Soft washing is the much better alternative for this type of job.

Why Soft Washing is a Better Alternative to Exterior Wall Pressure Washing

Unlike traditional pressure washing, soft washing doesn’t utilize intense pressurized water to wash away the dirt and grime that has accumulated onto the surface of your building. Pressure washing on durable surfaces like concrete is fine, but exterior wall pressure washing is often too intense for siding, brick, and other common wall materials. In fact, pressure washing can chip away at and wear down these surfaces, causing you to have to hire repair services if you want to maintain the wall.

Another reason soft washing is preferable for cleaning your building exterior is its strong chemical solution that is gentle on the surface of your building but tough on the contaminants that it’s washing away. This cleaning solution targets algae, mold, insect residue, grime, and other common contaminants that can affect your building’s curb appeal and damage its surface. Traditional exterior wall pressure washing doesn’t utilize this cleaning solution, relying instead on just pressurized water.

While we offer both pressure washing and soft washing here at Diamond Systems, LLP, we only use the pressure washing method on highly durable surfaces that can withstand the pressure. For exterior wall washing and any other service on a more fragile material, we use soft washing. Call us today if your commercial space’s exterior surfaces would benefit from a professional cleaning service.
