Soft Washing vs. Pressure Washing—What’s the Difference?
Florida’s hot, humid climate creates the perfect conditions for algae, mold, and mildew to grow on your home’s exterior. While pressure washing might seem like the obvious solution, it can actually damage delicate surfaces like stucco, siding, and painted finishes. That’s why soft washing is the preferred and safest method for house washing in South Florida.
At Orchid Property Care, we specialize in soft washing techniques that restore your home’s appearance without risking damage, using low pressure and eco-friendly cleaning agents.
What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a cleaning method that uses low-pressure water combined with biodegradable solutions to safely remove mold, algae, dirt, and grime. Unlike high-pressure washing, it won’t strip paint or crack stucco, making it ideal for homes along Florida’s Treasure Coast.
5 Key Benefits of Soft Washing Your Home
1. Protects Your Exterior Surfaces
Vinyl, stucco, wood, and painted surfaces can easily be damaged by high-pressure water. Soft washing keeps your home’s materials intact and looking like new.
2. Eliminates Algae and Mold at the Root
Our soft wash solution doesn’t just rinse away surface dirt—it kills organic growth at the source, preventing it from returning quickly.
3. Enhances Curb Appeal Instantly
A freshly washed home can look 10 years younger. Soft washing is one of the easiest and most affordable ways to increase your home’s visual appeal.
4. Extends the Life of Your Paint and Siding
By removing harmful buildup, soft washing can prevent long-term damage and save you thousands in repainting or siding repairs.
5. Safe for Landscaping and Pets
At Orchid Property Care, we use biodegradable, pet- and plant-safe cleaners that are tough on grime but gentle on your surroundings.
How Often Should You Wash Your Home in Florida?
We recommend soft washing your home at least once per year, especially in coastal areas like Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, Port St. Lucie, and Vero Beach, where salt, pollen, and humidity speed up organic buildup.
