Pressure Cleaning For All Surface Types

The Cairns Pressure Cleaning Soft Washing system offers a gentle yet powerful cleaning method that’s highly effective on a variety of surfaces.

Soft washing is ideal for materials that could be damaged by high-pressure cleaning, like painted surfaces, siding, and roofs. Using a much lower pressure, between 100 to 300 PSI, this system is able to remove grime, dirt, and organic growth without risking surface damage, making it safe for delicate areas while restoring a property’s original appearance.

How Soft Washing Works
The soft washing process begins by applying specially formulated detergents that break down dirt and loosen organic matter, like mould, moss, and algae. These cleaning agents not only clean but also sanitise surfaces, helping to prevent the regrowth of microorganisms that can cause staining and degradation over time. A gentle rinse with water then follows, removing the loosened dirt and debris, resulting in a clean and sanitised surface.

– Pressure Level: 100-300 PSI, gentle yet effective.
– Benefits: Safe for most surfaces, prevents regrowth of mould and moss, uses less water, and is eco-friendly.
– Ideal Surfaces: Soft washing is perfect for roofs, painted walls, timber, sidings, and other delicate materials.

Water Blasting: For Tough Stains and Surface Prep
In contrast, Water Blasting uses much higher pressure, ranging from 1000 to 6000 PSI. This high-pressure method is incredibly effective for removing stubborn stains, old paint, and tough grime that may be impossible to eliminate with softer methods. However, due to its intensity, water blasting requires careful handling, as it has the potential to strip away surface material along with the dirt, making it suitable mainly for hard, durable surfaces.

– Pressure Level: 1000-6000 PSI, high intensity.
– Benefits: Excellent for stain removal, surface prep for painting, and heavy-duty cleaning.
– Ideal Surfaces: Concrete, brick, stone, and other robust materials that can withstand high pressure.

Soft Washing vs. Water Blasting Summary:

Soft Washing:
– Pressure: 100-300 PSI.
– Best for: Delicate surfaces like painted walls, roofs, timber.
– Benefits: Prevents moss, mould, and algae regrowth, sanitises, and is gentle on surfaces.
– Water Use: Less water consumption, eco-conscious.

Water Blasting:
– Pressure: 1000-6000 PSI.
– Best for: Tough stains, concrete, and prepping surfaces for repainting.
– Benefits: Powerful stain removal, but requires experience to avoid surface damage.
– Water Use: High water consumption, best for robust materials only.
