Brick shows up in many different areas around a home exterior, including siding, walkways, and patios. To keep brick looking its best and to help increase its longevity, brick cleaning services are necessary from time to time. Pressure washing has long been the go-to method for washing brick. However, soft washing is a much better option for guaranteeing that your brick surfaces look their best.
One of the biggest reasons soft washing is best for brick cleaning is its low pressure. Brick can easily get chipped or damaged with the intense pressure involved in pressure washing, and damaged brick is the last thing you want out of a cleaning service. While pressure washing needs pressurized water for its cleaning power, soft washing relies on a special cleaning solution instead. This allows for much lower pressure when washing outdoor surfaces, and the cleaning solution breaks down outdoor contaminants effectively without wearing surfaces down.
Another reason your brick cleaning service should utilize soft washing is the simple fact that the results of soft washing are much longer lasting than those from pressure washing. You don’t want to get stuck in a constant cycle of cleaning your home exterior and its surrounding areas due to ineffective cleaning methods. Because soft washing targets contaminants at their deepest level, you’ll find that your soft-washed brick surfaces look their best for longer than they would if you used a pressure washer on them.
