What Is Soft Washing?
Soft washing is a specialized cleaning technique that uses low-pressure water application combined with professional-grade biocidal solutions to clean delicate exterior surfaces safely and effectively. Unlike traditional high-pressure washing which can damage render, cladding, and painted surfaces, soft washing provides superior cleaning results without the risk.
The cleaning solutions penetrate deep into the surface, killing algae, moss, lichen, and other organic growth at the root level. This provides longer-lasting results compared to pressure washing alone, which only removes surface contamination. Soft washing is perfect for render, cladding, UPVC, painted surfaces, and any exterior that requires gentle treatment.

Why Professional Soft Washing Matters
Protects Your Investment
High-pressure washing can force water behind render, damage pointing, strip paint, and cause costly repairs. Soft washing cleans safely without risking surface damage, protecting your property investment.
Long-Lasting Results
Because soft washing kills organic growth at the root rather than just blasting it off, results last 3-5 times longer than pressure washing alone. This means fewer cleans and better value.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is soft washing and how is it different from pressure washing?
Soft washing uses low-pressure water combined with specialized cleaning solutions to safely clean delicate surfaces. Unlike high-pressure washing which can damage render, cladding, and paint, soft washing provides effective cleaning without the risk of surface damage.
Is soft washing safe for my render and cladding?
Yes, soft washing is the safest method for cleaning render and cladding. The low pressure prevents damage while the biocidal solutions kill algae and organic growth at the root, providing longer-lasting results than pressure washing alone.
How long do soft washing results last?
Soft washing results typically last 3-5 times longer than pressure washing because the cleaning solutions kill organic growth at the source. Most customers see results lasting 18-24 months before re-treatment is needed.
Will soft washing damage my plants or garden?
No. We use biodegradable, eco-friendly solutions and take precautions to protect plants and landscaping. We pre-wet and rinse all vegetation, and the diluted solutions we use are safe for established plants when proper precautions are taken.
Can soft washing remove green algae stains from my house?
Yes, soft washing is highly effective at removing green algae, red algae, and black staining from render, cladding, and painted surfaces. The biocidal treatment kills the algae and the results continue to improve over the following 2-4 weeks.
How much does soft washing cost?
Costs vary based on property size and condition, but most residential properties range from £200-£600. We provide free quotes after assessing your property, with no obligation to proceed.
