Power Washing Services That Restore Curb Appeal and Protect Your Property

Certified Exterior Cleaning by the Experts at Simple Clean LLC Power Washing Services

Power Washing Services for Homes & Businesses in Delaware and Chester County, PA

Many homeowners ask, “Is power washing the same as pressure washing?” Both methods use pressurized water, yet the approach—and the result—are not identical. Pressure washing relies on sheer force to blast away grime. Power washing adds the “power” of carefully chosen detergents, allowing us to lower the PSI while lifting stains, algae, and biofilm more effectively. Soft washing goes one step further, using very gentle pressure for fragile surfaces such as roofs and painted siding.

Power Washing vs. Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing

We use commercial-grade power washing equipment capable of adjusting nozzles, flow rates, and PSI levels to match the needs of each surface. This allows us to clean efficiently while protecting your property from unnecessary wear or damage.

  • Pressure Washing: High-pressure water only. Useful for hard surfaces but can be risky if used on siding, stucco, or roofs.
  • Soft Washing: Low-pressure method using specialty cleaners to safely clean delicate surfaces like siding and roofs.
  • Power Washing: The best of both—controlled pressure + cleaning chemistry to emulsify and lift stains, then rinse away with precision.

Choosing the wrong cleaning method can cause more harm than good. By understanding the science behind each method—and using the proper equipment and training—we ensure your home or business gets the care it deserves without the risks.

Power Washing: The Best of Both Worlds

Power washing blends the benefits of pressure washing and soft washing by combining controlled pressure with cleaning solutions. This chemical-assisted process allows for deep cleaning of stubborn stains like:


  • Black algae streaks on concrete
  • Mold and mildew on pavers and brick

With power washing, we tailor the cleaning approach using commercial-grade equipment that adjusts:


  • Nozzle types for spray pattern and reach
  • Orifice size for precise flow rates
  • PSI levels for surface-specific cleaning pressure



This flexibility allows us to safely clean a wider range of surfaces—from rugged concrete to more delicate composite decking—without damaging the material.

Frequently Asked Questions about Power Washing

  • What is Power Washing?

    Power Washing, a well-established technique in the industry, offers a highly effective solution by combining cleaning solutions with the power of a pressure washer. 


    This remarkable method, commonly known as Power Washing, utilizes soft washing application methods like downstreaming and 12v Application along with a higher GPM(Gallons Per Minute) vs relying on High PSI/pressure alone, to achieve outstanding results. 


    With this cutting-edge approach, cleanliness reaches new heights, ensuring exceptional outcomes every time.

  • Is Power Washing safe for all surfaces?

    Power washing is generally safe for many surfaces, but caution should be exercised depending on the material and condition of the surface.


     It is suitable for most durable surfaces like concrete, brick, and vinyl siding. However, delicate surfaces like wood, stucco, and certain types of painted surfaces may require lower pressure or alternative cleaning methods to prevent damage.

  • What are the benefits of Power Washing?

    Power washing offers several benefits. It effectively removes built-up dirt, grime, and stains, enhancing the appearance of surfaces. It can also help prevent the growth of mold and mildew, which can be detrimental to health. 


    Additionally, power washing is an efficient way to prepare surfaces for painting or staining, and it can extend the lifespan of exterior surfaces by preventing deterioration.

  • Can I do Power Washing myself, or should I hire a professional?

    While power washing can be done as a DIY project, it is recommended to hire a professional for certain situations. 


    Professionals have the necessary equipment, expertise, and knowledge to assess the surfaces, adjust the pressure accordingly, and use the appropriate cleaning solutions. 


    They can ensure a thorough and safe cleaning process, especially for complex or delicate surfaces.

  • How often should Power Washing be done?

    The frequency of power washing depends on various factors such as the location, climate, and specific needs of the surfaces. 


    As a general guideline, it is recommended to power wash the exterior of your home or other surfaces every few years to maintain their cleanliness and condition. 


    However, certain areas prone to heavy dirt buildup, such as driveways or high-traffic areas, may require more frequent cleaning. 

Pressure/Power Wash Method:

"Pressure/Power washing is a cleaning method used generally on the outside of buildings and has been the staple to the exterior cleaning industry for nearly 100 years. Cleaning contractors are beginning to market power washing. It is similar to pressure washing in that it still utilizes an electric motor or gas engine to power a pump with a specific nozzle size that pressurizes and accelerates water to remove a stain. However, power washing is slightly different in that it uses soaps and chemistry to emulsify the stains and organic matter then uses pressure to rinse the stain away. Power washing is chemical assisted pressure washing. It uses the “power” in the chemistry of the soaps to make the “pressure washing” more effective."
