Simple Clean LLC Power Washing Services is a Top-Rated Local Pressure Washing Service Company serving Homes in Glen Mills, Garnet Valley, Media & Beyond
Choosing the Right Power Wash Method for Your Home
Choosing the right cleaning method can protect your home and improve long-term results. At Simple Clean LLC Power Washing Services, we help homeowners in Glen Mills, Media, West Chester, and surrounding areas understand the difference between pressure washing and soft washing—and when to use each.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt, grime, and surface stains. It is best used on strong, durable materials that can handle intense force without damage.
Best Surfaces for Pressure Washing:
✅ Concrete driveways
✅ Sidewalks and walkways
✅ Brick walls and patios
✅ Stone and masonry
✅ Garage floors and parking pads
Pressure washing is highly effective at removing oil stains, tire marks, graffiti, and heavy buildup on hard surfaces.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with biodegradable cleaning agents. This method breaks down mold, mildew, algae, and organic growth at the root. It is ideal for more delicate surfaces where high pressure could cause harm.
Best Surfaces for Soft Washing:
✅ Vinyl siding
✅ Stucco and Dryvit
✅ Roof shingles and tile
✅ Painted wood trim
✅ Outdoor furniture and enclosures
Soft washing cleans gently and helps prevent long-term damage, extending the life of surfaces by eliminating the root cause of organic staining.
Why the Right Method Matters
Using the wrong method can lead to costly repairs. High pressure can crack siding, damage seals, and strip paint. Weak soft washing may not fully eliminate algae and mold, leading to rapid regrowth and poor results.
At Simple Clean LLC, we assess each property before starting. Our team selects the proper method based on surface type, age, and condition to ensure safe and effective results.
