Soft Wash vs. Pressure Washing

Soft Wash vs. Pressure Washing in Myrtle Beach, SC — what this page covers

The right question is not which is better — it is which surface you are cleaning. A pro carries both systems and knows when each applies. Most of the enquiries we get from homeowners around Myrtle Beach, SC come in about commercial pressure washing, and this page sets out how that work runs from the first call through to completion.

The key points

• Soft wash: 500–1,200 PSI + cleaning chemistry — for siding, roofs, screens, painted wood
• Pressure washing: 1,500–3,500 PSI water only — for concrete, pavers, brick, pool decks
• Using the wrong one damages: hard pressure on siding drives water behind laps; soft wash cannot clean concrete stains
• Most full-exterior jobs use both methods on different surfaces
