Brick has a classic and timeless look that makes it a popular building material for homes, walkways, and more. This brick will need to be cleaned as time goes by and outdoor filth and grime deposit onto its surface. When it comes to cleaning, brick soft washing is the best method. Compared to traditional pressure or power washing, soft washing is the safest choice for brick.
Brick is highly durable, but it isn’t invincible. Standard pressure washing is generally too intense for brick, and the constant, high pressurized water can chip away at the brick and cause damages. This leads to your brick losing a lot of its stability, potentially leading to cracks as adverse weather conditions combine with the damages from the pressure washing to make it even worse. Brick soft washing is much safer. Unlike pressure washing, soft washing doesn’t employ high pressure and instead relies on a specially designed cleaning solution to wash away all of the dirt and contamination that has built up over time. With soft washing, you won’t have to worry about exterior cleaning wearing away at your surfaces.
In addition to its safer cleaning technique, the results of brick soft washing are much longer lasting than those of pressure washing because of how the cleaning solution interacts with contaminants. Soft washing targets filth at the root rather than the surface, so you get a much deeper cleaning job.
