Soft wash vs pressure wash

Anyone doing ONLY Softwash? Currently offer both but wondering if anyone has given away traditional pressure washing and now doing only softwash? If you are, how do clean flat surfaces?(driveways etc)
Thanks

I’ve done away with both and use one of these now. It even comes with a red tip! Lots of professionals are using these now.

I offer soft wash. When I need to wash concrete I plug the surface cleaner into the gun. 8gpm soft washing far surpasses those that got conned into washing with 12v pumps

The 12v has it’s place. Perfect for transferring and a few other tasks. I do like that people get conned into booster pumps and air pumps where they gotta spring for a compressor too and I especially love when people gotta buy a generator because 12v just wasn’t as good as 110v power and then they spend wayyy more on fuel lugging all that junk around and other fuel driven equipment and I like run on sentences because that’s capitalism baby!

What do you use to soft wash?

Downstream injector 80% of the times. 12v 10%, X-jet 10%.

I “soft wash” with a downstream injector and a jrod. You can wash houses, buildings, lanais, painted pool decks and walls.

I also “soft wash” with a 12 volt pump. You can wash roofs, stones, and spot treat really bad areas on walls, sidewalks or driveways. Even if you use the 12v on a sidewalk or driveway, you will still want to pressure wash it.

I “pressure wash” with a surface cleaner and soap and rinse with a lance (with a j rod). You can clean sidewalks, pool decks and driveways.

I try not to use my 12v. I’ll spot treat with my handheld pump sprayer if i have to
