Experienced Soft-Wash Pressure Washing in Northern Virginia

JCS Employs a Time-Tested Soft-Washing Technique To Safely Clean Flat Surfaces

Pressure washing is an effective way to clean a deck, driveway, sidewalk, patio, or other outdoor surface. What’s even better is our safe, reliable Soft Wash Pressure Washing method.

Developed back in the 1990s, the Soft Wash method of pressure washing is proven to safely clean the driveways, decks, patios, and exteriors of homes, making them look their best and extending their life without using excessive force.

Spraying at a relatively low pressure of 45 PSI (pounds per square inch), Soft Washing uses a natural disinfectant – a specialized phosphate-free sodium hypochlorite (chemical symbol: NaOCl) detergent that’s standard in the industry – to eat up algae, moss, mold, mildew, bacteria and anything organic that’s defacing the surfaces on and around your home.

After an appropriate length of “dwell time” for the solution to do its work, the contaminants are washed off, leaving the surface clean and sanitized without potentially damaging high pressures.

Compared to competing methods, Soft Washing incorporates a safer, biodegradable solution to sanitize surfaces, penetrate organic matter, and eradicate the root cause of unsightly stains. The result is a long-lasting deep clean of pretty much any flat exterior surfaces:

• Chimneys and patios
• Decks, fences, pergolas, and other wood surfaces
• Driveways and sidewalks (concrete, asphalt, stone, stone pavers, brick)
• House siding (vinyl siding, cedar shake siding, Hardie Plank (fiber cement) siding, aluminum siding, wallboard siding)
• Gas station concrete pads
• Dumpster pads
• Commercial storefronts
• Play areas and playground equipment (residential, commercial or municipal playgrounds)

Combining a lower PSI with a concentrated wash time, JCS Home Services methods have proven to be an excellent approach to thoroughly clean surfaces safely and effectively. Our state-of-the-art equipment and decades of experience providing Soft Wash pressure washing gets 5-star reviews from Northern Virginia homeowners.

What’s the Difference Between Pressure Washing and Power Washing?

JCS Offers Soft-Wash Pressure Washing, Not Hot-Water Power Washing Services

The difference between pressure washing and power washing is the temperature of the water. Power washing is pressure washing that uses a spray of very hot water. JCS performs Soft Wash flat-surface pressure washing services, not power washing.

Pressure washing uses unheated water. We operate specialized machines that compress water into a jet, knocking dirt and grime off an exterior surface, leaving it clean and looking like new. Pressure washing is highly effective at cleaning dirt and organic matter off surfaces like your driveway, patio, deck, roof, or siding.

Power washing, on the other hand, involves a hot-water system. It uses the same blast-away action that pressure washing uses, but the high temperature of the water jet could be harmful to some surfaces – and cannot clean as deeply as the Soft Wash technique can.

Not every surface can tolerate the extremely hot water or high pressure of power washing. That includes windows, gutters, A/C units, wood decks (any wood surfaces, really), and many types of roofs, such as asphalt shingles.

JCS does not provide power washing services. Instead, we offer Soft Wash flat-surface pressure washing, which is more effective than conventional pressure washing while being low-pressure enough to safely clean virtually any flat surface.
