Method Matters
Soft Washing or Pressure Washing?
Customers may call it power washing, pressure washing, or soft washing. The correct method depends on the surface—not simply how dirty it looks.
Soft washing
Low pressure and an appropriate cleaning solution for siding and other more delicate exterior surfaces.
Pressure washing
Controlled water pressure and professional equipment for durable materials such as concrete.
We do not automatically use maximum pressure. We choose the method after considering the material, condition, and type of buildup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pressure Washing & Exterior Cleaning FAQs
Answers to common questions about methods, surface protection, preparation, pricing, and exterior cleaning in the Charleston area. Before service, close windows and doors, move vehicles, secure fragile outdoor items, and tell us about known leaks or damaged surfaces.
Still have a question? Call DSS Cleaning →Do you offer power washing in Charleston?
Yes. “Power washing” and “pressure washing” are often used interchangeably by customers. DSS Cleaning selects low-pressure soft washing or controlled pressure washing according to the material and condition of each surface.
What is the difference between soft washing and pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low pressure with an appropriate cleaning solution and is suited to many surfaces that should not be cleaned with high pressure. Pressure washing uses controlled water pressure and is generally reserved for more durable surfaces such as concrete.
Will pressure washing damage my property?
Any cleaning method can cause damage when used incorrectly or applied to a deteriorated surface. We reduce that risk by reviewing visible conditions, choosing a surface-appropriate method, and avoiding unnecessary pressure. Existing defects may become more noticeable after buildup is removed.
Can you remove every stain from my driveway?
No company can responsibly guarantee every stain will disappear. Dirt and organic buildup often respond well, while rust, oil, fertilizer, mineral deposits, paint, and deeply embedded discoloration may require specialty treatment or may remain visible.
Do I need to be home during the service?
Not necessarily. When we have access to the approved work areas and any required water source, service may be completed while you are away. Access instructions should be confirmed before the appointment.
How much does exterior cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the surface type, amount of area, current condition, accessibility, cleaning method, travel, and any specialty treatment. Photographs and approximate measurements help us evaluate the request.
What happens if the weather changes?
Light weather changes may not affect service. Lightning, high winds, heavy rain, freezing temperatures, or other unsafe conditions may require rescheduling. We will contact you if conditions affect the appointment.
Do you provide roof or gutter cleaning?
Only services specifically listed in the written quote are included. Mention roof or gutter cleaning in your request so we can confirm whether that service is currently available for your property.
