What is the Difference between a Soft Wash and Pressure Wash?
BlastBoy Cleaning Methods: Pressure Washing vs. Soft Washing
At BlastBoy Pressure Cleaning, we use two proven methods—pressure washing and soft washing—to deliver the best results for every type of surface. Choosing the right technique is key to achieving a spotless clean without risking damage.
Pressure Washing with BlastBoy
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water to deep clean hard, durable surfaces like concrete, brick, and metal. It’s the ideal solution for:
Driveways, sidewalks, and patios
Brick walls and retaining walls
Tough stains, graffiti, and built-up grime
This method blasts away dirt, oil, mould, and mildew, restoring surfaces to their original condition. However, it’s not suited for softer materials, which is why BlastBoy carefully selects the right approach for each job.
Soft Washing with BlastBoy
Soft washing is a gentler method that combines low-pressure water with specialised cleaning solutions. This technique is perfect for:
Roofs and siding
Timber decks and fences
Painted or delicate surfaces
The cleaning solutions break down dirt, algae, mould, and mildew, which are then safely rinsed away—leaving surfaces fresh and protected without any risk of damage.
When to Use Each Method
Pressure Washing: Best for durable surfaces like concrete, brick, and metal where deep cleaning power is required.
Soft Washing: Best for delicate surfaces like roofs, siding, and timber that need a gentle but effective clean.
BlastBoy’s experts will assess your property and choose the safest, most effective method for every surface.
