Not all exterior surfaces can handle high pressure — that’s where soft washing comes in. Both methods clean effectively, but they’re used for different purposes.

Let’s break it down.


đź’¦ Pressure Washing (High Pressure)

  • Uses high-pressure water to blast away dirt, mold, and stains

  • Ideal for concrete, bricks, driveways, paths, retaining walls

  • Quick and powerful — removes years of grime fast

  • Not suitable for fragile surfaces


🌿 Soft Washing (Low Pressure + Detergents)

  • Uses low-pressure water + eco-friendly cleaning agents

  • Gently kills and lifts mold, algae, and organic build-up

  • Perfect for roofs, painted walls, timber, render, and outdoor furniture

  • No surface damage or paint stripping


🛠️ Why Does It Matter?

Using the wrong method can:

  • Strip paint

  • Damage wood

  • Leave streaks or water marks

At Elite Vue, we assess each job and use the safest, most effective method for the surface.
