In reality H2O Softwash does not use any pressure when cleaning the soft woods such as cedar and pine that most siding is milled from.

Commonly Used Wood Species for Natural Wood Homes, Log Homes, Cedar Shake Siding and Fencing:
Western Red Cedar Siding – cleaning of cedar shingles and cedar shakes is a soft wash process that varies depending on the condition, age and finish of the siding. Cedar is extremely soft and easily damaged with water pressure. H20 Softwash can clean, seal or stain your cedar home to look like new again.
White, Red and Yellow Pine Siding – the cleaning of pine siding is very similar to cedar. The major difference is that pine usually receives a high quality exterior paint finish while cedar is naturally weather resistant and can be left natural.
Spruce Siding – spruce cleaning almost always involves a mild green cleaning solution that won’t remove the paint or stain. If a complete refinish is required the old finish will have to be removed with an alternative chemical cleaning process.
Douglas Fir Siding – fir is more durable then spruce or pine and is often used for natural logo homes. The H2O Softwash process is able to clean Douglas Fir siding to a like new condition.
Cypress Siding – more durable then pine, spruce or fir and becoming more commonly used in New Jersey when natural wood is selected. Soft washing with wood cleaning compounds is the best cleaning method for cypress siding.
Redwood Siding – very similar properties to cedar. Naturally insect resistant and weathers very well without preservatives or paint. The soft wash process is required due to the softness of the wood.
