Softwashing is a specialised cleaning method that contrasts sharply with traditional pressure washing. Instead of relying on high-pressure water jets to remove dirt, grime, and buildup, softwashing uses a combination of eco-friendly cleaning agents that are carefully selected to treat specific stains and types of dirt. This method ensures a thorough clean without the risk of damage that high-pressure washing can sometimes inflict on softer or more delicate surfaces.
First, we apply a cleaning solution, which is designed to break down dirt, mould, mildew, algae, and other organic substances that can accumulate on exterior surfaces. The solution does its work, penetrating and loosening the grime.
After the cleaning agents have had time to work their magic, a low-pressure rinse system is used. This system delivers a high flow of water that is powerful enough to wash away the contaminants but gentle enough to protect the integrity of the surface being cleaned. This makes Softwashing an ideal choice for a wide range of materials, including siding, roofs, decks, and even outdoor furniture.
Softwashing not only cleans surfaces but also treats them to prevent the quick return of algae, mould, and mildew, offering a longer-lasting cleanliness than pressure washing alone. It’s an effective, gentle, and environmentally responsible approach to maintaining the appearance and longevity of your property’s exterior.
