When it comes to cleaning your home’s exterior, safety matters just as much as results — especially if you have kids, pets, or a thriving garden. Harsh chemicals and high-pressure washing methods can pose serious risks to your landscaping, pets, and even the surfaces of your home.
That’s why more homeowners are turning to softwashing — a gentle, low-pressure cleaning system that not only delivers a deep clean but also protects the things that matter most. At Certified Softwash Solutions, we’ve spent the past six years perfecting a method that’s not just effective — it’s safe.
In this post, we’ll break down why pet safe softwashing is the smarter, more responsible option and how we keep your property looking beautiful without compromising health, safety, or the environment.
🐾 What Is Softwashing?
Unlike pressure washing, which uses extremely high water pressure to blast away dirt and grime, softwashing relies on biodegradable cleaning solutions and low-pressure water to clean surfaces. It’s designed to kill algae, mildew, mold, and bacteria at the root, ensuring a longer-lasting clean without damaging siding, shingles, or stucco.
This method is especially beneficial for:
Roofs (including asphalt shingles)
Vinyl siding
Wood decks and fences
Brick, stucco, and painted surfaces
Outdoor furniture and decorative features
Most importantly, when done right, softwashing is gentle on your landscaping and your furry family members — making it the ideal choice for anyone concerned with safety.
🌿 The Dangers of Traditional Pressure Washing Chemicals
Many pressure washing companies use off-the-shelf or industrial-grade chemicals that can leave toxic residue behind. These cleaners often contain:
Bleach concentrations that can burn plants or irritate pets' paws
Corrosive agents that degrade protective coatings or paint
Non-biodegradable detergents that harm soil and contaminate local waterways
These risks are why it’s important to choose a provider that understands what goes into their cleaning process — and what impact it can have beyond the surface.
