Preservation of Wood:

• Gentle Cleaning: Softwashing uses lower pressure than traditional power washing, which is crucial for wood. It minimizes the risk of damaging the wood fibers, reducing splintering, warping, or gouging.

• Extended Lifespan: By cleaning gently, softwashing helps preserve the wood's integrity, potentially extending the life of your fences and decks.

• Effective Removal of Contaminants:

  • Mold, Mildew, and Algae: Softwashing often involves the use of biocides in the cleaning solution, effectively killing and removing mold, mildew, and algae without high-pressure damage.

  • Dirt and Grime: It removes accumulated dirt and grime without stripping the wood's natural oils, which can happen with high-pressure washing.

• Aesthetic Improvement:

  • Restoration: Softwashing can revive the appearance of wood, bringing back its natural color and beauty, which can make your outdoor living spaces more inviting.

  • Preparation for Staining or Sealing: Cleaning wood with softwashing prepares the surface better for staining or sealing, ensuring these treatments adhere properly and provide maximum protection.

• Safety and Efficiency:

  • Professional Application: Professionals know how to adjust the pressure and choose the right cleaning solutions to match your wood type, ensuring the job is done safely and effectively.

  • Time-Saving: Hiring a service means you don’t have to spend your time on this potentially labor-intensive task, plus professionals can typically complete the job more quickly.

• Environmental Considerations:

  • Controlled Use of Chemicals: Professional softwashing companies are more likely to use environmentally friendly products and control runoff, minimizing environmental impact compared to DIY methods.

• Health Benefits:

  • Reduction in Allergens: Removing mold, mildew, and algae not only looks better but can also reduce allergens that might affect health.

• Warranty and Peace of Mind:

  • Service Guarantees: Many professional companies offer warranties on their work, giving you peace of mind that if the job isn't done to satisfaction, they will come back to fix it.
