The “Blast It All Away” Approach: Pressure Cleaning

Pressure cleaning – it’s exactly what it sounds like. We use high-powered water jets to blast away dirt, grime, mould, and even old paint. It’s super effective for tough surfaces like driveways, concrete paths, and fences. Think of it as giving your home’s exterior a good scrub.

But here’s the thing: pressure cleaning can be a bit harsh on some surfaces. Too much pressure, and you could damage your paintwork, tiles, or even your windows. That’s why it’s important to know when to use it and when to consider a gentler approach.

The Gentle Giant: Soft Washing

Soft washing is like pressure cleaning’s more chilled-out cousin. Instead of relying solely on high pressure, we use specialised cleaning solutions to lift dirt and grime. These solutions are tough on dirt but gentle on your home.Soft washing is perfect for delicate surfaces like painted walls, roof tiles, and timber decks. It’s also a great option if you’re dealing with mould or mildew, as the cleaning solutions help prevent it from coming back.

So, Which One Do I Need?

Now, the million-dollar question: which one’s right for you? Well, it depends on a few things.

What kind of surfaces are you cleaning? How dirty are they? And what kind of result are you after? If you’ve got stubborn stains on tough surfaces, pressure cleaning might be the way to go.

But if you’re dealing with more delicate areas or want to tackle mould and mildew, soft washing is probably the better option.
