Pressure washing and soft washing are two distinct cleaning methods that vary in pressure levels and their suitability for different surfaces.
Pressure washing utilizes a high-pressure stream of water, typically exceeding 2,500 PSI, to remove dirt, grime, and stains from durable surfaces. This method is ideal for cleaning concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, and some types of brick. It effectively eliminates stubborn buildup and restores the surface’s appearance. However, because of the intense pressure, it can be too harsh for more delicate materials like siding, shingles, and wood.
Soft washing, in contrast, uses a low-pressure application, usually under 1,000 PSI, combined with specialized cleaning solutions. This method is designed for more delicate surfaces such as house siding, roofs, fences, and decks. Instead of relying on force, the cleaning agents help break down contaminants and organic growth, ensuring a thorough and longer-lasting clean without the risk of surface damage.
Both methods are valuable, and selecting the right one depends on the surface and the type of buildup being addressed. Ohio Flomo specialize in both techniques, providing tailored solutions for different cleaning needs.
Ohio Flomo prioritizes environmentally safe cleaning products that are biodegradable, non-toxic, and gentle on the environment. Our eco-friendly solutions are designed to protect plants, pets, and wildlife, while the low-pressure water used in our soft washing method minimizes any potential impact on the surrounding area. To further safeguard plants, we water them before, during, and after cleanings. This simple step helps ensure their health while we provide a thorough, environmentally responsible clean.
Yes, soft washing is safe for your home. Unlike pressure washing, which uses high-pressure water that can damage delicate surfaces, soft washing uses a low-pressure stream of water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions. This gentle approach ensures that surfaces like siding, roofs, decks, and fences are thoroughly cleaned without the risk of damage. Soft washing not only protects your home but also provides a longer-lasting clean by targeting contaminants at the root, making it an effective and safe option for maintaining the exterior of your home.
The duration of a typical pressure or soft washing service depends on factors such as the size of the area being cleaned, the type of surfaces, and the level of buildup.
For a pressure washing service, cleaning a driveway, sidewalk, or patio might take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours. Larger areas, like an entire driveway or larger patios, can take longer, up to 4 to 6 hours.
For soft washing, cleaning a house exterior, typically takes around 2 to 4 hours, depending on the home's size and the extent of the cleaning needed.
These times can vary based on the complexity of the job and the number of surfaces involved. We always strive to work efficiently while ensuring thorough results.
You don’t necessarily need to be home for the service, as long as we have access to the areas that need cleaning and clear instructions for the job. However, it is helpful to be present for a brief consultation before we begin, so we can ensure everything is in place and answer any questions you may have.
If you're not available, you can provide access by leaving gates or doors unlocked. We'll also ask that any larger furniture, planters, or obstructions be removed from the areas being cleaned before we arrive to protect them during the cleaning process. Our team will take care of everything else and will provide an update once the job is complete.
At Ohio Flomo, we can clean a wide variety of surfaces using either pressure washing or soft washing, depending on the material and cleaning needs.
Pressure washing is ideal for tough, durable surfaces such as concrete driveways, sidewalks, patios, and parking lots. It can also clean brick and stone walls, patios, and walkways. For certain types of wood, pressure washing can be effective on decks and fences, though care must be taken to avoid damage. Additionally, pressure washing is great for cleaning garage floors.
Soft washing, on the other hand, is safer for more delicate surfaces. It's effective for cleaning house siding made of vinyl, stucco, or hardy board. Wooden decks and fences are cleaned gently with soft washing to preserve the material, as well as gutters and windows, which benefit from a low-pressure approach. Outdoor furniture, including cushions, chairs, and tables, can also be safely cleaned using this method.
We tailor our approach to each surface to ensure the right cleaning method is used, providing a thorough clean while protecting your property.
For general maintenance, we recommend pressure washing your home every 1-2 years. High-traffic areas like driveways or patios may need more frequent cleaning.
Spring and fall are ideal times for cleaning, as they allow for thorough cleaning after winter and before the summer months. However, Ohio Flomo offers services year-round, as long as the temperatures are above freezing and the weather permits. For concrete sealing, the temperature needs to be at least 60 degrees, with 24 hours of rain-free weather to ensure proper curing.

Concrete sealing is the process of applying a protective coating to concrete surfaces, such as driveways, patios, sidewalks, and garage floors, to safeguard them from damage and wear. The sealant creates a barrier that helps protect the concrete from water, stains, dirt, oil, and other contaminants. It also helps prevent the surface from breaking down due to exposure to moisture and harsh weather conditions.
Sealing your concrete is important because it extends the lifespan of the surface, preventing cracks and deterioration. It enhances the appearance and makes it easier to maintain. Concrete sealing also reduces the need for frequent cleaning and repairs, saving you time and money over time.
The frequency with which you should seal your concrete surfaces depends on factors such as the type of surface, weather conditions, and the level of wear and tear. Generally, it's recommended to seal concrete surfaces every 1 to 3 years.
For high-traffic areas like driveways, it may be necessary to seal more frequently, about every 1 to 2 years, to ensure protection from wear and stains. Patios and walkways may require less frequent sealing, every 2 to 3 years, depending on exposure to the elements.
Sealing is also a good idea after any significant cleaning or resurfacing to maintain protection and keep the concrete looking fresh. If you notice that water no longer beads on the surface or if stains are becoming harder to clean, it may be time to reseal.
After sealing your driveway or patio, it's important to give the sealant time to cure before using the surface. Generally, you should wait at least 4 to 6 hours before walking on the surface and 24 to 48 hours before driving or placing heavy items on it. The exact time can vary depending on the weather, with warmer, dry conditions allowing for quicker curing.
To ensure the best results and protection, it’s recommended to avoid traffic or heavy use until the sealant has fully cured. This will help prevent any damage to the fresh seal and ensure your concrete stays protected for as long as possible.
While sealing your concrete helps protect it from many types of stains, it won't make the surface completely stain-proof. Concrete sealers create a protective barrier that repels water, oil, dirt, and some other contaminants, making it much easier to clean and reducing the likelihood of staining. However, some substances, can still penetrate the surface if not cleaned up quickly.
Sealing significantly reduces the risk of stains, but regular maintenance and quick cleaning of spills will help maintain the appearance of your concrete surfaces over time. The level of protection can also vary depending on the type of sealer used and the conditions the surface is exposed to.
