When it comes to pressure washing or soft washing your home, one of the most common concerns homeowners have is:
“Will the cleaning chemicals damage my property?”
It’s a fair question—especially when you’re trusting a company to treat your home, landscaping, and outdoor surfaces. The truth is this:
Professional cleaning solutions are safe when used correctly.
The risk doesn’t come from the chemicals themselves but from improper use.
Here’s everything Newnan homeowners should know about cleaning solutions, safety, and how Deep South Power Wash protects your property during every service.
Are Soft Wash and Pressure Wash Chemicals Safe?
Yes—when handled by trained professionals, the cleaning agents used for exterior washing are safe for siding, concrete, roofing, and landscaping.
Most exterior cleaning solutions are:
Biodegradable
Low-pressure compatible
Designed specifically for exterior materials
Formulated to break down algae, mold, mildew, dirt, and organic buildup
These solutions are engineered to clean thoroughly without damaging surfaces.
When Do Chemicals Become Harmful?
Damage occurs only when chemicals are:
Mixed incorrectly
Applied with too much pressure
Rinsed improperly
Used on the wrong surfaces
Handled by untrained technicians
This is why “cheap” or inexperienced pressure washing services can cause:
Dead plants or grass
Faded or streaked siding
Damaged wood
Stained concrete
Corroded metals
The problem isn’t the product—it's the application.
How Deep South Power Wash Protects Your Property
At Deep South Power Wash, we follow strict safety steps to make sure every Newnan property is cleaned thoroughly and safely.
1. Proper Chemical Dilution Every Time
We use the correct mixture for each surface—roof, siding, concrete, deck, and more.
This ensures powerful cleaning without causing harm.
2. Soft Wash Systems for Delicate Surfaces
Roof shingles, siding, windows, and painted surfaces are cleaned with low pressure and gentle solutions.
3. Pre-Wet and Post-Rinse Landscaping
Plants, grass, shrubs, and gardens are thoroughly watered before and after treatment to prevent chemical absorption.
4. Surface-Specific Formulas
We never use a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
Every material gets the correct product designed for that surface.
5. Safe Application by Trained Technicians
Our team knows exactly how to apply, rinse, and neutralize solutions to avoid any possible damage.
What Surfaces Benefit from Soft Wash Chemicals?
The right cleaning solution actually helps protect your property by killing the organic growth that weakens materials.
Safe, professional soft washing is ideal for:
Roof shingles
Vinyl siding
Brick
Stucco
Driveways and sidewalks
Patios
Fences
Decks
These surfaces often collect algae, mildew, mold, and organic staining that pressure alone can’t remove.
Can Chemicals Harm My Pets or Family?
Professional-grade cleaning solutions are safe when:
Applied properly
Used at the correct dilution
Rinsed thoroughly
Kept away from immediate contact during cleaning
We take all precautions to ensure your family and pets are safe throughout the process.
The Bottom Line: Chemicals Won’t Damage Your Property—People Can
The products used in soft washing and pressure washing are safe.
The danger only comes from improper use.
When handled correctly by trained professionals, chemicals:
Protect your home
Extend material lifespan
Remove stains and bacteria
Restore curb appeal
Prevent long-term damage
Deep South Power Wash ensures your home is cleaned the right way—safely, effectively, and with full protection of your property.
