We offer a safer, more effective alternative to traditional pressure washing.
When it comes to cleaning exterior surfaces, one method that is used a lot is pressure washing. However, this method is far from ideal, as the pressure of the jets of water used in it are often so high that they damage the target surface—pressure washing has been known to strip granules from shingles on roofs, strip paint from siding, and even etch concrete, and because of this, we advise against using it. Fortunately, our team at Safari Softwash offers a much gentler, much more effective alternative in the form of our soft washing services.
The reason that soft washing is a better choice than pressure washing—other than the fact that it won’t damage your property, of course—is that it targets the actual cause of dirt buildup. In most cases, exterior structures become dirty because mold, mildew, and other contaminants grow on them. These microorganisms trap dirt particles and cause your whole wall, pathway, or other structure to take on a dingy appearance. Soft washing uses specialized cleaning solutions to kill these contaminants before washing everything away, which produces a more thorough clean and one that will last much longer than washing with water alone.
We are proud to serve the Williamsburg, Virginia community and we want to help you take care of your home or commercial property. If you are looking for a safer, more effective alternative to pressure washing, we encourage you to give us a call to learn more about our soft washing services.

FAQs About Pressure Washing
In 2017, we first launched Safari Softwash as a pressure washing business in an effort to provide effective and efficient cleaning solutions for local property owners. However, we quickly realized that pressure washing often pales in comparison to soft washing techniques, which don’t pose the same risks to fragile exterior surfaces. Although we still do offer pressure washing services, we frequently get questions about when and how we choose to use our pressure washing equipment.

Why do I need to hire a professional for pressure washing services?
Although you can rent pressure washing equipment and attempt to clean your property on your own, it’s important to realize that the intense water pressure can pose real safety risks to you and anyone else nearby. Using the equipment without the proper training or expertise can result in serious injuries, property damage, and other unpleasant side effects. If you believe that pressure washing is the best option for your property, we strongly encourage you to hire a pro.
What surfaces can be pressure washed?
Our trained technicians only use pressure washing equipment on highly durable and resilient materials that can reliably withstand intense water pressure. Therefore, we usually reserve pressure washing for concrete surfaces that are in great condition. If we have any doubts about the durability or structural integrity of a material, we’ll rely on soft washing instead.
How is soft washing more effective than pressure washing?
In many cases, soft washing offers longer-lasting results than pressure washing due to its sanitizing capabilities. Soft washing solutions are biodegradable and non-hazardous, so they effectively cut through organic contaminants without putting delicate surfaces, such as bricks, vinyl siding, or shingles, at risk. On the other hand, pressure washing can dent or break more fragile surfaces, leading to more costly issues for property owners.
