Soft Wash or Pressure Wash? Here’s What I Use

Exterior cleaning today requires methods that protect surfaces instead of damaging them, which is why soft washing is now the preferred choice in humid climates.

The team at gotproof.us uses specialized soft wash technology to clean deeply while keeping every surface safe.


While pressure washing relies on high-PSI force, soft washing cleans through targeted detergents and low pressure.

Soft washing uses gentle pressure combined with biodegradable detergents to break down contaminants at the root.


Traditional pressure washing uses PSI levels strong enough to harm surfaces that were never designed for high-force cleaning.

To protect every surface we clean, our specialists choose soft washing wherever high PSI could cause costly long-term damage.


In South Florida’s humid environment, algae and mildew return quickly unless they’re eliminated at the root.

The detergents used in soft washing target the full life cycle of algae, allowing our treatments to last significantly longer than standard pressure washing.


Roof cleaning is one of the areas where soft wash outperforms every other method.

Using high pressure on a roof can remove granules, lift shingles, and reduce lifespan, which is why our team exclusively uses soft wash applications for roofing systems.


Soft washing is designed for materials that require a gentle but highly effective cleaning method.

The gentle PSI protects textures and coatings while the cleaning solution breaks down stains, streaks, and biological contaminants.


Professional soft wash programs help maintain curb appeal without causing damage.

It keeps commercial buildings clean while respecting structural coatings and sealants.


Soft wash systems outperform high-pressure cleaning in both longevity and safety.

The process not only removes stains but also sanitizes surfaces affected by algae, mildew, and biological contaminants.


Every project is customized so each surface receives the safeguards it needs.

This ensures consistent results and long-term protection.


For long-term results and complete surface protection, soft washing stands above all other exterior cleaning methods.

In Miami’s climate, soft washing is the most effective maintenance solution.
