When it comes to your walkway, you might not spend much time thinking about its cleanliness besides keeping it clear of large debris and other potential tripping hazards. However, it’s important to regularly clean your walkway to prevent any potential slipping hazards from a buildup of algae, moss, or other contaminants and to protect the surface from such erosive materials as well. There are a couple of different ways you might clean your walkway: pressure washing or soft washing. Here are a few tips on how to decide which walkway cleaning method is best for your property.
- Know the difference between soft washing and pressure washing: The main difference between soft washing and pressure washing is the amount of water pressure used. Pressure washing uses a great amount of pressure to blast away any contaminants from your walkway or other exterior surfaces. Soft washing uses lower water pressure paired with an eco-friendly cleaning solution that eliminates the contaminants and sanitizes your walkway or other surfaces.
- Consider the durability of the walkway: When choosing the right walkway cleaning method, you should consider the durability of the surface materials for your walkway. More durable materials, like concrete walkways, can withstand the higher water pressure from pressure washing. More delicate or porous materials, like brick walkways, will need the gentle water pressure of soft washing to prevent any potential damage to the surface materials.
