Methods and safety
Methods and safety
What’s the difference between pressure washing and soft washing?
Pressure washing uses higher pressure and suits hard surfaces like concrete. Soft washing uses low pressure plus a cleaning solution that treats algae and mildew, which suits roofs, stucco and painted surfaces.
Is soft washing safe for tile roofs?
Yes, when done correctly. The Tile Roofing Institute recommends a qualified professional and no more than about 1,300 psi when pressure is used on tile.
Will cleaning damage my plants?
We pre-wet and protect plants before cleaning and rinse them afterward.
Can you remove rust or oil stains?
Often they lighten a lot with the right treatment, but deep or old stains may not disappear completely.
Do Florida pressure washers need a license?
Florida has no statewide pressure-washing license, so ask any company for proof of general liability and workers’ compensation insurance.

Is pressure washing allowed in Manatee County right now?
Annual pressure washing for appearance alone isn’t. Necessary maintenance, mold and mildew removal, and prep for painting or sealing are. See the water-restrictions guide.
Can my HOA make me pressure wash during the shortage?
No. The order says HOAs can’t enforce rules that require more water use, including pressure washing.
When does the order end?
It currently runs through March 31, 2027, and can change.
Does soft washing count as pressure washing?
The order speaks to pressure washing. We confirm how it applies to soft washing before scheduling.
