Frequently Asked Pressure Washing Questions - Answered By Vanishing Pressure Wash LLC

Still not sure about signing on for a pressure washing in Amherst? No problem! We've made a list of the most common pressure washing questions that our clients have, and maybe you can get to know the pressure washing process a little bit more.

What's The Difference Between Pressure Washing And Soft Washing?

One of the biggest differences between soft wash and pressure wash is that one uses high pressure and one uses lower pressure. Pressure washing uses high-pressure water that runs at a very high psi (pounds per square inch). Depending on the type and strength of a pressure washer, the psi can range from 1300 to 3100. Soft washing, however, uses much less power than that; it's more similar to a strong hose.

Another difference is that while a pressure wash relies on the high-pressure water alone to clean properly, soft washing systems use a combination of soaps, bleach, and water to ensure your exterior stays clean for the long term.

How Often Should I Get My House Washed?

The answer to this question definitely depends on certain factors, such as the siding you have and the condition of the siding. Generally, house washing is not necessary unless the siding has significant mildew or grime buildup. However, homes in areas that have a lot of pollen or where the soffits become infested with cobwebs are good candidates for annual power washing.

Homeowners with vinyl, metal, or composite siding should pressure wash their homes once a year. If you have wood siding, we recommend you pressure wash only when you have dirt or mildew buildup, unless you use very gentle pressure to wash away pollen or cobwebs on an annual basis.
