Soft washing has become an essential technique for  pressure washing professionals. It’s a safe, effective, and lucrative method for cleaning delicate surfaces such as roofs, siding, and painted areas that high-pressure systems can damage. 

For those looking to establish themselves in the professional cleaning business or expand their services, investing in a dedicated soft wash system is a game-changer.

This article explores why soft washing matters, its advantages, and how Spraywell’s Stealth Spartan Soft Wash System and Stealth Chemicals can elevate your business.


What is Soft Washing?

Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to remove dirt, algae, mildew, and other contaminants from surfaces. 

Unlike traditional pressure washing, which relies on high water pressure, soft washing prioritizes the utilization of chemicals. It's safer for delicate surfaces, and is an enhancement when cleaning surfaces like concrete or roofs that are prone to organic growth.

Key Applications:

  • Roof cleaning.
  • House siding and stucco.
  • Gutter brightening.
  • Fence and deck washing.
  • Concrete and hard surface cleaning, especially those prone to organic growth.

Why Choose Soft Washing for Professional Cleaning?

1. Prevent Surface Damage

High-pressure washing can strip paint, dent siding, or even void manufacturer warranties on roofs and other surfaces. Soft washing eliminates this risk, ensuring that surfaces remain intact while delivering a thorough clean.

2. Loosens or Eliminates Organic Growth, Dirt, and Grime

Soft washing treats the root causes of stains, like algae and mold. This means the surfaces stay cleaner for longer, enhancing customer satisfaction.

3. Lucrative Opportunities

Soft washing is in high demand for residential and commercial cleaning. Professional soft washers can command premium rates, especially for specialized services like roof cleaning or restoring heavily oxidized surfaces.


The Importance of a Dedicated Soft Wash System

Using downstream injectors or makeshift equipment for soft washing can be inefficient and unreliable. A dedicated soft wash system ensures:

  • Convenient configuration on the job for quicker access and job completion time.
  • Proper chemical mixing made easy with pre-installed proportioner.
  • Long-term reliability and durability.

Spraywell’s Stealth Spartan Soft Wash System is designed specifically for professionals seeking a robust, easy-to-use, and long-lasting solution for their soft washing needs.
