Exterior Softwashing

What Is Softwashing?

Softwashing is a safe and highly effective cleaning method used to treat and remove organic stains, mildew, moss, algae, bacteria, and dirt from exterior surfaces. Unlike high-pressure jet washing, which can damage render, roof tiles, and delicate surfaces, softwashing uses low-pressure water combined with eco-friendly biodegradable chemicals to gently clean and sanitize exterior areas.

Softwashing is ideal for:

Rendered walls (K-Rend, Weber, Parex, etc.)

Roof tiles

Cladding

Gutters and fascias

Conservatories

Driveways and patios

Why Choose Softwashing Over Pressure Washing?

✅ Safe for Delicate Surfaces
High-pressure water can cause lasting damage to materials like render, slate, or roof tiles. Softwashing avoids this by using low pressure.

✅ Long-Lasting Results
The softwash solution doesn’t just wash off the dirt—it kills the root cause, such as algae or bacteria, which helps surfaces stay cleaner for longer.

✅ Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable
We only use environmentally responsible cleaning agents, safe for your home, garden, pets, and family.

✅ Improves Kerb Appeal
A clean exterior transforms the appearance of your home or business, boosting visual appeal and even property value.

✅ Helps Prevent Costly Repairs
By removing organic growth early, you reduce the risk of structural damage caused by moss and mould.
