Soft washing requires using low pressure and specialized cleaning solutions to gently remove dirt, algae, mold, and other contaminants from surfaces. It's ideal for delicate surfaces, such as roofs, siding, and decks, as it cleans effectively without causing damage. High-pressure washing, on the other hand, uses a powerful stream of water to blast away tough grime and stains from hard surfaces such as driveways, sidewalks, and concrete. While both methods are effective, the choice between soft wash and high-pressure wash depends on the specific needs and materials of the area being cleaned.

Every location is different, but having your home washed every 6 to 12 months is what is recommended.

According to manufacturers, a rubber membrane should be washed every 3-5 years to maintain the integrity of the roof.

No, you generally shouldn’t pressure wash your vinyl roof (especially if it's on an RV or mobile home) because it can cause the following problems:

A. Water Intrusion: High-pressure water can force its way under seams, vents, or seals, leading to leaks and water damage inside.

B. Sealant Damage: It can strip or weaken the sealants around roof fixtures, making the roof more vulnerable to leaks.

C. Membrane Damage: Vinyl roofing (especially if it's a TPO or EPDM membrane) can be punctured or eroded by high pressure, shortening its lifespan.

D. Warranty Voiding: Many manufacturers specifically warn against pressure washing, and doing so can void your roof’s warranty.

E. Better Alternative: Use a soft-bristle brush with a Chlorine, and rinse gently with a hose.

You should reseal your roof vents and screws every 2 to 4 years, depending on factors like climate, roof material, and the quality of the original sealant. If you notice issues like cracking, peeling, or small leaks, reseal immediately. To be safe, inspect your roof annually and reseal as needed when you notice cracks, peeling, or signs of water intrusion.
