If you’re a homeowner in Ballantyne, Blakeney, Weddington, or Matthews, chances are your siding, driveway, or roof could use a refresh. But when it comes time to clean, many homeowners are unsure whether they need pressure washing or soft washing.
At Window Genie of South Charlotte and Waxhaw, we offer both services—and we’re here to help you understand which one is right for your home.
What Is Pressure Washing?
Pressure washing uses high-pressure water spray to blast away tough dirt, oil stains, algae, and mildew. It’s best suited for hard, durable surfaces like:
- Concrete driveways and sidewalks
- Brick patios
- Pavers
- Garage floors
- Pool decks
Pros:
- Powerful cleaning action
- Ideal for deep grime and buildup
- Fast and effective on concrete
Cons:
- Too harsh for delicate surfaces
- Can damage siding, shingles, or wood if misused

What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with safe, biodegradable cleaning solutions to gently remove mold, algae, and dirt from delicate exterior surfaces.
It’s ideal for:
- Vinyl siding
- Stucco and painted surfaces
- Asphalt shingles
- Roofs
- Wood fences and decks
Pros:
- Safe for siding and roofing materials
- Longer-lasting clean (kills organic growth)
- Eco-friendly and non-invasive
Cons:
- Not as effective on heavy concrete stains
- Requires dwell time and professional application
