Soft Wash Your Home For Spectacular Results!

Soft washing or House Washing is one of the many services offered by ShinePro Window Cleaning. Every home can benefit from what is also referred to as a “House Wash”. The Coachella Valley, California is home to dozens of golf courses. From Bighorn Country Club in Palm Desert to Mesquite Country Club in Palm Springs, all the way to PGA West in La Quinta. The amount of irrigation it takes to maintain the greens can also causes issues with surrounding homes. Algae, hard water stains and iron stains can develop quickly.       

Why Not Just Pressure Wash Your House?                 

One of the most delicate part of your home is the siding or stucco. Although it was built to withstand the harsh elements of the outdoors, lack of maintenance can be detrimental. The walls may have several layers of paint but it can chip off when high pressure comes in play. Especially older homes found in Rancho Mirage and Indian Wells. ShinePro Window Cleaning highly recommends that you choose the soft washing to clean your roof, walls and deck. It is a completely different from power and pressure washing. Soft washing is an effective alternative for house cleansing which makes use of eco-friendly and safe cleansing solutions that can effectively clean surfaces outside your home.

House Washing Explained

Soft washing makes use of chemical solutions to clean your house in a safe, gentle manner. The cracks and pores of the exteriors of your house will absorb the solution to easily break down mildew, dirt and algae. After a brief dwell time, ShinePro uses a low pressure rinse to flush our proprietary solution along with the dirt. This low-pressure washing system utilizes chemicals to release build up instead of high pressure. A specialized low-pressure nozzle is attached to the washing wand or gun. This soft pressure will not damage any surface in your home as well as destroy plants around. It can handle surfaces like patio, roof, deck, fence, and safely maintain the painted surface and masonry work.

Why This Method Evolved

Since the pressure washer came into existence, the standard and usual practice is to spray a strong pattern of water on surfaces to remove contaminants. Pressure washing is quite labor-intensive. The process uses high pressure to get rid of stains and deposits. Furthermore, pressure washing requires the operator to be close to the surface being cleaned. The lower part of the house can be cleaned by a pressure washer. However, the roof and other hard to reach areas can be difficult to access with a pressure washing wand. This is especially true for the large Victorian homes in Redlands, California. One other thing about high pressure washing is that it can damage stucco or siding. House washing with low pressure is different. This process involves the application of cleaning agents and a surfactant at low pressure, then rinsing off the solution along with unwanted contaminants off the surface with a low pressure stream of clean water. Most of the time, the cleaning solution for residential soft house washing will include sodium hypochlorite and a surfactant. When used properly, bleach or sodium hypochlorite is very effective and safe. It is the same chemical used in the treatment or disinfection of drinking water and swimming pools. Once the surfactant has been mixed with bleach, it can dissolve algae, mold, and mildew. Spider webs, dust, and debris simply melt away.
